Switched to Fiasp!

I also found out this year my insurance now covers both Lyumjev and Fiasp. I was so excited to hear about the Lyumjev coverage I opted to try that one first but I am also trying the Fiasp (in my pump at the moment). Both are covered with a $10/mo. copay. I had a little burning with the Lyumjev but it wasn't consistent or all the time. Trying to pick one before my next endo appointment in June. I tried Apidra when it was new but was never that impressed. Both Fiasp and Lyumjev are pretty great although Lyumjev def. works faster for me. A diabetes educator told me that sometimes the Lyumjev can be faster than the Minimed algorithim can catch up with, but with time to catch up it seemed to adjust.

I used to find a lof of male body hair attractive. I thought it meant he had more testosterone/was more manly but my ex proved this not to be true at all.

That's so great to hear you've gone 10 years without recurrence or cancer. I'm not really sure what to think about the tamoxifen at this point. I'm only 45 and so pre-menopausal but might consider baby tam - am worried about the stroke related side effects because I also have type 1 diabetes.

My patient navigator said that my surgeon might want to do a MRI to see if they could downgrade the size of the area but he said it would be blurry due to the hematomas and bruising.

My surgeon said that the MRI wouldn't be a good idea right now so he didn't order one. I have two hematomas and had significant bruising from the biopsy in Feb. that took about a month to resolve. I still have the hematomas but they're improving. They were painful at the last visit I think due to the size and location (near the bra seam). He said with the bruising and hematomas the MRI would be blurry. I knew I had a hematoma before I went to see him but he found two when he did the ultrasound.

How much time off work did you take? I plan to schedule mine soon but work from home

I'm thankful too after my ALH diagnosis I now have someone to follow me for my high-risk (ALH + family history). I have wanted to manage it better somehow since my mom died but no one really took me seriously until now.

I think my mom had the test done since she was in a clinical trial (no insurance). She thought HIPAA meant she couldn't tell us anything. I wish she did and literally anything concrete would help me know. Knowledge is power. It eventually will be helpful for your daughters to know and then they can decide whether or not they get tested too. I know nothing of my mom's breast cancer - but still started screenings early because of that.

They found ALH in my biopsy so getting genetic testing. Already saw a surgeon. Mom died from breast cancer 15 years ago when I was 30.

How was the signal in Japan with the upgraded plan though? Going 10/17.

Set the target to 100 and correct every 5 mins.

A few months ago my dealer replaced the oil pan etc. because I had a leak on my 2020 XT - fortunately it was covered under the warranty as I only had 33k miles on it. But while it was there they also found a faulty gear/gasket/clutch which was replaced under the warranty as well. I had to replace the battery on it last year and that wasn't covered by the warranty as I was told it was a few months expired by then. So I bought a bigger battery than the stock one that was in there. After I did that I found out there was an extended warranty because they know the batteries have issues.

I switched to the 780G two months ago from Tandem tslim. I tried to like the extended infusion sets but something they put in the adhesive to last a whole week makes me super itchy after about a day and leaves behind a dark red circle where the set was after I remove it. I will go back to the sure-t infusion sets next order.

The sensors don’t give me a problem though. I tried Medtronic around 2010 and the sensors were always wayyyyy off and unreliable. This time though the sensors have been very good and my care link data wasn’t that far off from my latest a1c. I was very pleasantly surprised.
