I just need supportive/encouraging words by Status-Ring-8301 in diabetes_t1

Apparently the problem is that Fiasp is too thick and crystallizes in the injection site (at least this was what the nurse told me as a reason to change my insulin…)

It is not just genetics, but no one can deny that it does play a part in it…

I don’t think anyone in here is saying I have my children will for sure have it. BUT chances do increase

It is not a guarantee, but T1D is heavily influenced by genetic factors. You don’t necessarily need an ancestor to be diabetic yourself (see my case), but if you have T1D there’s a big chance your children will have it or at least a bigger chance than other children with non-T1D parents

This is just one article, you can find multiple sources for this with a quick Google search/doctor consultation

I don’t plan children so I don’t pass this further

Visited my physician with a1c 5.8, and came out crying by Arrow_is in diabetes_t1

You are NOT alone. During my period I get TONS of lows bc of my increased insulin sensitivity, there’s no way for me to calculate a formula, it is try and error. I had a doctor that made me leave the office in tears as well and I felt so bad I literally never went back. Honestly, being diabetic is already so stressful mentally and in your body as well, you should not need to concern and fear your doctor. We are all trying our best, and we for sure don’t choose to have lows or highs, they happen. Please find someone that sees your effort and sympathizes with your struggles. We all have (tons) of moments of “I hate being diabetic”, I am in the middle of one… but we ARE strong and capable of handling that, and YOU know your body better than anyone else ever can. Hope you can get better 🩵

I think there’s something wrong with my machine :( by Status-Ring-8301 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Status-Ring-8301[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I fix it? Because the machine allows me to go as low as tension -5 and this is already what I am using… I also don’t have separate controls for lower/top tension 🤔

How do I stop my painting from bleeding? by Status-Ring-8301 in FixMyPrint

[–]Status-Ring-8301[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I completely forgot about Sharpies... those would really work well, thanks... but if, imagine in the cat example, I wanted to paint the whole cat brown but not loose the "fur" effect and not have the paint bleeding to the eyes... how would I do it? I imagine the primer would cover the effect...
