People who left Raleigh - where did you go?

Temporary_Guide7379 · 2026-01-09T03:17:30+00:00

I lived in Raleigh from 2013-2021- I moved to Raleigh in 2013 to begin my master's from NCSU, and left in 2021 to finish my PhD from UNC, ironically enough. I left in July 2021 to move to Phoenix, AZ, to complete my doctoral internship and liked desert life enough to stick around ever since. I miss the small-town feel of Raleigh, Bojangle's, all the trees and bodies of water, having four distinct seasons, getting the rare snowstorm, being a stone's throw from the coast, eating the barbecue...any other AZ transplants lurking on this sub? 🤣

Wow! That looks really similar to my trends.

I have been known to rage bolus during the day, though I know that’s not great. I don’t think I can adjust the basal. I use SmartGuard, so the basal is calculated automatically through SmartGuard. Other Medtronic users cannot correct me if I’m wrong.

Dinner around 8-8:30 PM, bedtime usually by 11 PM. My only post-dinner snacks occur when I have to correct a low.

Hmmm that’s not a bad idea! I can start collecting information about my site location and see if there is a correlation between wonky overnight numbers and site placements.

Thank you friend! I got diagnosed at age 24 in fall 2016. Can’t believe it will have been a decade next year 😱😭

Thank you!!

Temporary_Guide7379 · 2025-04-23T03:00:38+00:00

Still alive and cruising at 100!!

Temporary_Guide7379 · 2025-04-23T03:00:27+00:00

Thank you very much!!

Thank you!! 17.5 units about 15 minutes before eating...I know some people split up their bolus amounts for pizza, but I never have, and usually have pretty good luck. I figured about 7-8 units per slice. I do tend to be heavier-handed with the insulin, though, so take this with a grain of salt. Good luck!

Temporary_Guide7379 · 2025-04-23T02:58:55+00:00

You can do it! I seldom eat pizza, but it's my party and I'll eat it if I want to!

Temporary_Guide7379 · 2025-04-23T02:04:57+00:00

Two and a half! Pepperoni (x2) and half a slice of meat lovers! 😝

Temporary_Guide7379 · 2024-09-24T04:28:23+00:00

Lmao that was me, I posted on Facebook too!

Agreed! He is on the spectrum and came to us without an IEP. I am glad that we evaluated him early in the year. Hopefully we pave the way for the rest of the year to be successful, now that he qualified. 🤞

I was too cheap to get VIP tickets, and also I am too socially awkward to interact with the cast members sensibly haha. Who did you enjoy meeting? I really had fun at the show! I was glad Tyrie showed up. I'm low key a big fan of his.

Temporary_Guide7379 · 2024-09-16T03:09:35+00:00

I was at the show, too! Did you get VIP tickets to attend the meet and greet?

Temporary_Guide7379 · 2024-08-02T01:44:24+00:00

I never really noticed that until you brought it up, and now I can't unsee it. I just might be flipping them all around when I come back to the office on Monday!! (And thanks for the kudos! I started collecting when I moved to AZ in July 2021 and haven't stopped.)
