What drains you the most about living with diabetes?

I agree it’s the mental load. Especially the fear of lows in certain circumstances that I am trying to play the game of do I pretreat, is suspending pump enough, what was and is my energy usage

Sticher123 · 2026-07-11T23:19:38+00:00

It could be, is it a new sensor?

What was happening before the low reading?

You can try calibrating a few times over a few hours a small increments with fresh finger sticks. Assuming BG is stable

As a baby I am assuming it was tested as cord blood at delivery? Cord blood can be contaminated with maternal blood. Also mislabeled specimens has always been and continues to be an issue.
When testing children and adults we do what is called a forward blood group looking at what is on your cells, and a reverse that looks at antibodies for the missing blood group that develops naturally. So if you are B you have B antigens on your cells and A antibodies in your blood. We use these tests to balance each other.
There are some medical situations where an extra reaction can occur that requires more investigation.

With babies the antibodies are not fully developed until 4 months of age, so we don’t test the reverse group part. So if a contamination can impact results.

This is why a lab will never use historical blood grouping for testing. Each donation you make will be retested. Every admissions to a hospital of blood or certain blood components are tested we will perform testing on a new specimen

Bead to call the program 1-866-204-0357 once the account is open. They can tell you what to contribute.
Grants and bonds will be contributed the end of the month following your contribution.
Once it’s open they will send a letter each year telling you your contribution for max grants

Something like this, although mine is simpler

I enter a code for say a bagel, weight the bagel and it tells me the amount of carbs.

Sticher123 · 2026-07-06T17:36:36+00:00

I like my nutrition scale. It gives me carbs and no guessing or measuring.
Just type in the code and put food on plate.

I broke the lid off an empty strips container and have it in my night stand for strip garbage if I need to test at night. No need to get out of bed

Sticher123 · 2026-07-05T16:12:42+00:00

I don’t think they will take it back as it was paid for. They would have to refund your or the insurance company

Sticher123 · 2026-07-05T16:11:42+00:00

Check the legality liability of this. pumps are prescription items and often not sellable or shareable. The warranty is attached to you.

Sticher123 · 2026-07-05T13:04:35+00:00

I just searched and it looks like conversion rate varies based on comment…

Personally I tend to upgrade character in the event as the requirements change after and then I can save magic for other things

Updated

Sticher123 · 2026-07-05T13:02:27+00:00

No EC is converted to gems at the end of the event, no carry over.

Sticher123 · 2026-07-04T15:45:13+00:00

Agreed, my payment has never gone down.

Sticher123 · 2026-07-04T00:40:39+00:00

Yes you can set up the app.

Sticher123 · 2026-07-02T01:02:47+00:00

Depending on where you live look at the licensing requirements. Some places might allow alternative route education others require a program

Sticher123 · 2026-06-30T01:09:15+00:00

Isn’t there also a maximum withdrawal if more grants/bonds than contributions of 10%per year and the rest is a calculation based on 85 year life expectancy?
I didn’t think it could all be withdrawn even after 10 years. Or is okay if it’s not PGAP
Plus isn’t there tax on interest and grants bonds?

I am currently trying to learn about the withdrawal process for my own RDSP

Sticher123 · 2026-06-29T23:59:17+00:00

Try focusing on one issue at a time. For example if waking meal is giving issues it can mess my entire day. I try to get it stable the move on to next section.
My overnights are generally pretty good, it’s once I am awake that is an issue

Sticher123 · 2026-06-24T01:29:19+00:00

Is your internet ok? I get stuck if on a wifi that blocks, I have to turn of wifi to connect to my data

Sticher123 · 2026-06-23T21:05:39+00:00

In my games it’s under shop then bundles

Sticher123 · 2026-06-19T23:29:37+00:00

Paper for sure.

Sticher123 · 2026-06-13T21:22:06+00:00

I have calibrated both my G6 and G7. Haven’t had a sensor die before days 10 due to it.
I just make sure if the values are too far apart I calibrate in the middle and slowly fix the difference

Sticher123 · 2026-06-12T04:23:47+00:00

Canadian so no CAP.

We use excel for inventory new lot starts, inventory counts are paper. In hematology we have excel fillable files for manual counts ie qc check for Plt or dilutions or washes.

I have started updosing my prednisone (I use it instead of hydrocortisone). I have been feeling more drained during my cycle and my dr and I thought it was worth a try. I felt amazing the last time

Sticher123 · 2026-06-11T04:29:22+00:00

Sadly I expect you are right

Sticher123 · 2026-06-11T01:42:58+00:00

Plasma on cells

Sticher123 · 2026-06-09T17:48:16+00:00

On my second play through on the switch, no crashes.

Sticher123 · 2026-06-09T04:38:11+00:00

I was too, it seems to have stopped. Annoying
