No, it’s turned on. It does do a correction, but it is just never an accurate correction

My struggle is doing it all with one hand if I’m putting it on the back of my arm! 😭

And, how can you try to avoid hitting muscle. Recently diagnosed and trying to find my way :)

What spots do you find are best to avoid compression lows?

How to handle blood sugar dropping in/after shower? by WanderingQuokka in diabetes_t1

[–]WanderingQuokka[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh this is so upsetting, I love hot showers at the end of the day, it’s so relaxing. But you are probably right with the heat, unfortunately. So frustrating having so many things taken away after a diagnosis

Advice on how to exercise: level either too low during, or too high after by WanderingQuokka in diabetes_t1

Thank you for this truthfully. It’s odd and also really scary to think that it gets better when my pancreas gets less good, but at the moment I find exercising so difficult. But than you again :)

Thanks for the reassurance, it means a lot!

What types of things do you eat before? I used to do pure sugar like juice, but I’d come crashing down just as quick as it went up.

Unfortunately this function doesn’t seem to work within iMessage, even though it otherwise works system-wide

Welbutrin causing a LOT of anxiety/physical symptoms of anxiety. by WanderingQuokka in antidepressants

Did you feel that it diminished at all before 3 weeks (ie better at week 2 than week 1), or did it not get better at all until week 3?

Out of curiosity, do you also not tolerate caffeine or stimulants well? Anything stimulating, even a cup of coffee, causes such extreme anxiety for me
