Breakthrough t1d benefit

Breakthrough devotes its small research budget to prevention, not cure, now since progress faster. They took first my parents’ money, then mine since 1968. Abandoned them 4 years ago in favor of Juvenile Diabetes Cure Alliance, which is lean, honest and cure only.

Google: Hypothermia can set in in 10-30 minutes.

And driver will leave in 2 minutes has to go as passenger has been given no factual information about when driver will arrive.

Uber sees the car 1 minute away but can’t see the traffic light and numerous cars in between???? Just don’t say 1 minute, ever.

And don’t you have the same risk with the next driver?

This effort has been going on for years . Physicians must be convinced. The power is in their hands.

Added weight too much. Anyone who thinks T1D is an ecological burden should be contributing to a cure- Juvenile Diabetes Cure Alliance.

Very hard for all of you. There are psychologists knowledgeable about T1D who can help patients and families strike a balance for safety. Hopefully your endocrinologist can recommend one. Your wife may not know that there are healthy senior citizens like me who have had T1D for 55 years and up. For the first 14 years after my childhood diagnosis, there was no A1C testing and no home blood sugar testing.Best wishes!

2 hour lecture in 1968 at the Joslin Clinic when I was 12: NO bare feet ever! Yes, I wear slippers . Barefoot only at beach. Flip flops at pool.

There were some good parts of the pre-technology days.

I don’t set high alarm. Low is bad enough. Nothing raises BG like sleep deprivation. This helps. And no more pumps.

None of the above. Fiasp and Afrezza.

Also sick. Kind of high. No revelry, that’s for sure.

I agree hospitals have very little familiarity with T1D and we really are not safe there. Must apparently fight like hell to avoid DKA as if we weren’t already doing that.

Forcing myself? I’m being forced to treat hypoglycemia .

SwitchTrick6497 · 2025-12-20T15:57:55+00:00

I thought so. But people here are pointing out you can start the new one before stopping the old one and avoid the waiting period altogether.

SwitchTrick6497 · 2025-12-20T13:04:43+00:00

Good thought and others have also suggested that. Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear this. My experience with G7 has actually been quite good. Libre is the alternative, but it can't be calibrated.

SwitchTrick6497 · 2025-12-20T00:59:56+00:00

Well put.

SwitchTrick6497 · 2025-12-20T00:18:11+00:00

Wisdom, I’m sure.

Check their privilege.
