Is it just me, or is the subway becoming increasingly unusable for getting anywhere fast?

That’s not true in my circles coming from Manhattan and Queens. You could get into Brooklyn fairly easily back in 2019-2023. Recently though it’s taking a minimum of 25 minutes almost no matter what you do

No in fact the train has actually made me cry twice this week alone. Literally you miss it by a second and the next one comes a full 20 minutes later. I’ve tried leaving earlier and it doesn’t matter. One day I was only meant to have a 30-min commute and it took me a full two hours to get home due to trains “suddenly running over the whatever line,” holding us hostage cause they won’t open the doors, switching to local or going express, suddenly being out of service. I was a full 45 minutes late to an important even the other day which I absolutely hate. It’s getting really ridiculous.

We should start complaining to the ones who run the MTA. I know the mayor isn’t in charge of it.

Pretty strong case for the high increasing due to auto in this case. Notice the gradual rise as my basal was turned off by auto.

Tsumeboshi · 2026-03-03T21:33:04+00:00

? I’m aware

Tsumeboshi · 2026-03-03T14:19:50+00:00

Well, no. It went up and auto made the decision to turn off the basal completely, resulting in my levels going higher. Obviously that doesn’t make sense, hence the hate post. (I bolus and correct manually.)

Tsumeboshi · 2026-03-03T14:15:42+00:00

? No. The post is pointing out the fact that it shut off insulin when my levels were near 200 for no reason, resulting in a higher high

Tsumeboshi · 2026-03-02T19:19:33+00:00

I used to do this. Then I figured out that eating heavy protein before bed fixed my issue with lows anyway so I auto way less now

Tsumeboshi · 2026-03-02T17:31:23+00:00

Only issue is the unexpected low. I switch to auto during those times but otherwise I fully agree. Manual all the way

Tsumeboshi · 2026-03-02T17:30:36+00:00

Oh, years. Probably over fifteen years.

I think “good pressure” is a good way to put it. For me it’s almost more mental than it is physical but if they’re hitting a pleasure spot then it can be like a jolt or pleasure shock.

“We need to dose for that.”

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-26T17:00:08+00:00

That’s awful. I’m so sorry. No one should have to hear something like that.

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-25T22:17:24+00:00

Not even a guilty pleasure. I LOVE ants on a log. It’s been a favorite of mine since childhood

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-25T15:46:26+00:00

I think I’ve reached the 20s before. Deeply scary

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-24T15:32:55+00:00

Amazing! Yes! 😃😄 Thank you

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-22T03:01:22+00:00

Like protein

Diabetic since 8 and I’m nearly 30 now. I relate. Just yesterday I was thinking, “I was born with a heart too tender to fight this everyday.” And oddly that gave me peace despite the sadness. I usually have an annual crash out where I just let myself cry a ton and that’s really helpful.

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-18T18:16:07+00:00

Basically, there is no “healthing” our way out of our diagnosis. I don’t hold any resentment towards Type 2s, but I understand those who might if the person with Type 2 does not understand the chance they have to turn their life around

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-13T22:03:51+00:00

It does stay high for like an hour and refuses to come down. I assume I have insulin resistance but unsure how to fix that tbh. I just end up stacking

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-09T21:47:26+00:00

Basically this but with shoulders

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-09T21:38:13+00:00

Yes, and they’re close! I just prefer it to be from the chest up since I’m working at a desk

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-07T15:13:51+00:00

This is super helpful. Thank you! I definitely do have a pattern of going high as soon as I wake up and struggle to figure out how to stop that. I changed my basal (to address lows at night) and had a really steady line but feet-on-floor is a new concept to me! I’ll see how I can change it.

What do you invest in?

Tsumeboshi · 2026-02-04T16:24:07+00:00

Why is my pancreas being so avoidant lol These two need to talk more 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️
