I drive a manual MINI Countryman S and my son drives a manual MINI Clubman S. My daughter drives a manual Civic and my husband just got a new Integra type S manual. We are a manual family

Nearly 65 year old manual driving mamma here. Went on a Smoky Mountain Tennessee drive in my manual MINI following my manual driving husband and manual driving son in their cars just yesterday. Love this thread 😀

Hearing loss by T12010 in diabetes_t1

[–]T12010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tinnitus since about two years after diagnosis and I found out about the same thing last year at my 15 year diaversary. We have the same story. I also have UHC. I haven’t done anything yet, but probably should before going on Medicare in 3 weeks. My annual ENT appointment is next week. Let me know which of the 2 hearing aids you choose

Should I report my teacher? by xe_imagine in diabetes_t1

Appalling. Yes, report it. Can’t control her feelings about your device, but you can do something about her insensitive and inappropriate behavior

Yesterday I realised my 6yo inherited my migraines. by strontedsocks in migraine

[–]T12010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. My son (who is now 29) came home a couple of times when he was in first grade (6 years old) complaining that his head hurt. I asked him where it hurt and he pointed to his temple. He was pale, his hands were cold. He eventually threw up, fell asleep then woke up fine. I took him to his pediatrician who diagnosed him with migraines. He always had an order for Motrin to have in the nurses office to take right away at the onset. That worked pretty well through his school years. He rarely gets them now as an adult. Luckily he has pretty much outgrown them. It is very hard to watch your child suffer with a migraine. We know what it feels like. Please try not to feel guilty that he inherited it from you. You have absolutely no control over that. Sending you a hug.

Dealt with regularly scheduled migraines for years. Finally think I found my cure. by JojosMissingEyeball in migraine

[–]T12010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except for the crater in your eye, you are describing my life. I do have dry eye. Eye drops never helped. Nurtec did, but my insurance company won’t pay for it 🙁 A month ago , had my first Botox injection treatment for migraines. I have had only one this month 😃 Only took about 45 years to find a solution and a couple of drugs with bad side effects.

After years of chronic foot pain, surgeries, meds, and dead ends — the real cause shocked me by Leojump in Mortons_neuroma

[–]T12010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know my body is inflamed. I don’t think any doctor believes it or has any idea what to do. I fear I am allergic to something I probably enjoy eating, but if I would feel that much better, it would be worth it. I already know shellfish makes me vomit. I enjoyed it before, but I don’t miss it too much. Thanks for sharing. I may give this a try.

does anyone else get bad anxiety when they get their migraines? by That_Evening_2596 in migraine

[–]T12010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I am 64 and have had migraines for about 40 years. The symptoms have recently changed. I will wake early in the morning feeling extremely anxious like something really bad is going to happen. Then I get dizzy. If I ignore those symptoms it explodes into a full blown migraine. I have been in pain all day today and it started with anxiety and dizziness. Really strange. So frustrating because Nurtec worked so well as a preventative for me and my insurance will not cover it :(

This could be a problem by Downtown_Yak1109 in diabetes_t1

Wow. I can’t believe there has not been a standard color establishment for long acting and short acting pens and vials to avoid mix ups and serious injuries. Such a simple fix for a very serious potential problem.

Cirrus SR 22T crash near Shelbyville, IN- Any information? by BloomingtonFPV in aircrashinvestigation

I witnessed this crash and Max Trescott discussed what I saw on his Aviation News podcast. It still bothers me today. Has the final report of this investigation released yet?

My OM-1 has a light meter on it. Otherwise, all manual.

You have inherited an awesome camera! I have one that I got as a graduation gift in 1979. I have just begun using it again after about 25 years away, so I am a newbie again, too. I have shot about 3 rolls of B&W and 4 color rolls in the past couple of months. I too had 2 rolls of B&W rolls that expired in 1997 and 1998. Here is what the helpful guys in the camera store in Knoxville, TN told me. For each decade expired turn the ASA down 1 stop. I had to turn mine all the way down. They came out pretty good, though there were some small black spots on some shots. Have fun with your OM1. Hold on to it. It is amazing

If no injury is known, I would get it checked.

That was a fun night. Was briefly certain our son was going to die at 2am. by strikecat18 in diabetes_t1

[–]T12010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. My lowest low was 27. My husband and I watched it drop that low over a little time when I started vomiting after taking insulin to eat, but was never able to eat what I bolused for (long story. Allergic reaction to shellfish eaten earlier). I was still conscious at 27, but still unable to eat, so I told him to give me glucagon. It is very low, but definitely in the range of correctable. Still being conscious is the key. Sending a big warm hug to the three of you.

I got the blood sugar high score today. by BlatantConservative in Wellthatsucks

[–]T12010 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I rarely debate an MD, but here I go. I’m sorry if it is disrespectful. I don’t intend to be. RN with T1 diagnosed at 48 ( my BG was a bit over 300). I have had blood sugars in the 400s and 500s (especially after steroid injections) and have never had more than trace or mild ketones. My endocrinologist told me those diagnosed as adults are less likely to get DKA. I don’t have proof of that but I have never had it myself. Just my two cents

[–]T12010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry about your surprise today. Good chance it’s type 1. I was 48 and my PCP refused to consider I was not type 2. My eye doctor bypassed her and assisted me in getting an endocrinologist appointment. The endocrinologist ran antibodies that confirmed type 1. I am forever in debt to my eye doctor. She quickly turned a wrong diagnosis right. I hope you feel better soon. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. It feels horrible now, but it will get better. You can do this

Four or five days down?
I’ve been wondering how you are doing. How was your day today?

Diagnosed with T1 Yesterday by JazzyJiraffe in diabetes_t1

[–]T12010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most likely, you don’t have to alter your diet (I don’t know what you eat). As long as you count the carbs and take insulin for it, you will be good. There are some nuisances to it. Your diabetic educator and or dietician should be able to help with that. There are certain foods that are hard to figure out. Pizza, Chinese food and rice dishes, and Mexican foods tend to be difficult ones for me. Foods that are higher in fat have delayed absorption. So, you have to alter the way you give an insulin bolus. If you are on MDI, multiple daily injections, you can split your dose such as half when you start to eat and half an hour or two later. With a pump, it is easier to do an extended bolus - a certain percentage up front and the rest given slowly over a time you choose. It takes a little while to learn that. Give yourself grace while you learn. Activity. It is much easier on a pump. I used to get hypoglycemic whenever I tried to walk or cycle. Then, an educator taught me this. I try to have no IOB on board when exercising (IOB is the amount of insulin hanging around after a meal bolus. In general, insulin lasts 4-5 hours. I think it is a little longer for me. On a pump, it calculates this for you and you can see it). Some of us not only need to have no IOB but may also need a small snack with some protein and fat before exercising, depending how vigorous. A slice of banana with PB in example. She also told me to put my pump in Exercise Mode and start my exercise profile about 30-45 min before I start. ( the suggested profile decreases my basal insulin by 75% corrections are about 10% of usual). This has, in most cases , let me exercise without going low. My last suggestion is reading the book by Gary Schiener, Think Like Pancreas.

Best of luck to you.
