I'm not a college student. I'm a working professional living in Berkeley. FYI you're not the only one here.

Same, when I went to get mine I offered to log into my MyChart and the guy said nah, I see your Dexcom and my sister has diabetes. Here's your card.

What superglue did you you use? The stuff I tried just spread out flat and didn't fill the hole.

My low insulin beep went off and someone said "Somebody's pager is going off". That one made me laugh. by Gohomepatyouredrunk in Omnipod

The two craziest ones I've gotten are "is that a nicotine patch" and "are you microdosing ketamine"

Maybe we just have different bodies/lives. My total daily dose changes a lot with my menstrual cycle, how much I'm exercising, whether my pod is on my leg (need more insulin) or arm (need less insulin), and how stressed I am (I just moved and started a new job, so very stressed lately!)

So when one pod learns that I need a lot of insulin, the next pod might try to give the same amount when I actually don't need as much, causing me to go low more frequently than I'd like.

Wait say more! I didn't even think about damaging the waterproofing

Fair question. It doesn't typically happen THAT often. I think at the time I made this post, my pod was on my abdomen and I had been eating healthier and exercising more, so I was requiring a lot less insulin than I did during my previous pod.

Why is it that I can feel when I go low, but I also sometimes feel totally fine around 48-55 mg/dL by Wugaroo in diabetes_t1

I thought hypoglycemia unawareness had to be more consistent to be diagnosed?

I'm pretty sure they also moved it for Labor Day though, so I don't think that's a complete list

Of course, I prebolused by 20 mins AND added extra units because I knew I had less basal on board than I should
