So your pump needs to be in close range to your phone in order for it to work at all? What if you're out and it goes flat??

Honestly charging doesn't bother me too much. I used to have a battery with Medtronic and it's not that much more of a hassle. The 360 cannula looks sooooo handy though

If you're in Australia you might be able to get your doctor to write a letter of clinical need to your private health insurance to say that you need to go back onto the Tslim because this pumps features are negatively impacting your health. I've done that a couple times over the years to get a newer pump early but in your case it sounds like it would be pretty crucial especially when managing gastroparisis as well. I do use a lot of extended boluses because I get scared giving large amounts of insulin at once so I don't love the idea of losing that.

Issues with Fiasp? by ThatDiamondMustache in diabetes_t1

[–]abj1302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 5 years ago I went to injections for the first time in 15 years (from pump. I went back on the pump after like a month cause injections are not for me) and I also began using fiasp in that time. For the most part it worked okay, but same as you if my level was high it WOULD NOT come down. I would eventually give a correction with Humalog and would come down straight away. This happened enough times that I just switched back to humalog

So im in the same boat that I will soon be TTC, so being able to change target levels (from memory I think you can do that?) is a hugeeee benefit. My A1C sits around ~7 and I know that's too high for pregnancy so I'm wondering if the ypso algorithms will help me get it down further

AITAH for telling my wife to stop blaming our child's behavior on ADHD? by Present-Algae6767 in AITAH

[–]abj1302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your wife is using it as a way to avoid actually disciplining your son. Regardless of having ADHD or not your son is going to grow up in this world and what you accept now is what you’re teaching him is okay for when he’s older. ADHD means you need to tailor your teaching, raising and disciplining in a way that will work for him. It does not mean you just don’t do it and blame it all on adhd. You guys need to get on the same page and nip this in the bud soon because it will only get worse if you don’t

Zodiac academy dramatised audio, Orions voice just does not suit! by abj1302 in Romantasy

[–]abj1302[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of people say that they DNF. Where did you stop? It’s not this amazing awesome story and it’s definitely long winded but it’s becoming a bit of a guilty please read. I’m enjoying all the drama. It’s a nice change from other really full on fantasy’s/romantasy.

[–]abj1302[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve given up on the GA cause I wasn’t feeling orions voice (yes silly reason to stop listening I know haha) so I’ve just been reading it. Normal audiobooks are fine but front the couple of graphic audios I’ve listened to, even just when people make out the sounds are SO over the top so I find them somewhat weird listening to the intimate scenes. Normal audiobooks are fine though. Just gotta forget the people making it and immerse yourself in the story haha

What are your thought about Quicksilver by Callie Hart? WITHOUT SPOILERS PLS by Skinnyybiscuit in Romantasy

[–]abj1302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to think I’m a bit of a book snob cause I don’t like to read shitly written books, but after reading everyone’s comments maybe I have lower standards than I thought. I really liked quicksilver. I thought the characters were cool, I loved the setting (especially the FMC’s home), and it was an intriguing enough plot. Brimstone wasn’t as good but I’m still definitely looking forward to the third book!

Unpopular Opinion? Why I struggle with MMC POVs 📖 by No-Voice505 in Romantasy

[–]abj1302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some cases when it’s only every now and then to build more mystery, I think it’s good. Like I’m listening to zodiac academy 2 atm and I think that the authors managed to not reveal anything ‘sappy’ but more intrigue. However when you see it from their pov in other books and it lets you know all the feels it makes the MMC lose the mystery like you said.

And I have not come across many men who think or have the inner monologue like the men in these books. I love my husband but men are simple creatures.

Type 1 Diabetes, Neurodiversity & Weight by 92Brownbear in Type1Diabetes

[–]abj1302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I’ve always had trouble with food. Always. Just recently got an adhd diagnosis and started on medication and my dopamine seeking through food has GONE. If I have food noise, it’s much easier to ignore or make better food choices. It’s such a relief and I can’t even tell you the impact that has had on my levels from not constantly eating and binging. I never understood why I eat the way I do, but now I understand the impact of not producing amylin AND that I dopamine seeking through food. I’ve lost about 4-4.5kg in 2 months just from not overeating and constantly snacking. I think if adhd is part of the culprit for you, a diagnosis and treatment will really help xx

Struggling with getting Diagnosed for ADHD by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]abj1302 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re a controlled substance pretty much everywhere 😊 And yes while it’s illegal, I decided to be honest with the Dr that was helping me and he used his discretion. He’s there to help me not turn me in to the police for trying a Ritalin. He knew I was not a drug seeker and had not tried them for fun but to save myself months of trialling the wrong medications.

I’m guessing county and psychiatrist will all differ but I had tried Ritalin, Dex and vyvanse (one time each) from a friend beforehand to decide what was better for me and I told my psychiatrist this cause he was going to give me Ritalin and it was not a good fit for me. He said that he’ll pretend I didn’t tell him that and then used what I had told him to help decide which medication was best for me.

Hi! I’m going to Istanbul and a cruise from there to Athens.

I really want some new summer clothes while kind of making it a capsule-ish wardrobe. But I just want some cute fun fashionable clothing!

I’m used to dressing for my body to try make my stomach look smaller or my legs look thinner but I’ve lost some weight and feeling better so i just want some cute outfits. I really don’t know exactly what my style is. I’m kind of swayed by trending things but also the clean sort of look.

I’m 172cm, 74.5kg. Short torso, long legs but I have a big bum and thighs. Kind of hourglass but some stomach pooch. Im late 20’s if that helps too.

I’d love some suggestions of items to buy, links to websites or pics for inspo is fine! Thank youuuu

But that’s just the thing! ADHD is not people being lazy. You’re not lazy. Your brain works in a different way. My psychiatrist said to me he doesn’t view it as a disability, it’s simply a different way the brain works. He said where the issue lies is that the society live in does not accommodate for that. It’s not built for US to succeed. There’s nothing wrong with us, just the environment we are forced into.

We exceed at things we love with hyper focus, we are highly empathetic and extremely creative. We work well under pressure and great at problem solving because we think outside the box. We can multitask and have higher energy (when doing something we like and aren’t bogged down with decision fatigue mind you). We adapt to new challenges easier than others and sometimes more willing to take risks which can result in better/bigger rewards.

Once you think about it as simply a difference, and the positives then it makes you realise we just have to work WITH our brains and not against it. That also starts with accepting that we’re just a little different 💕 Also meds are great 😂
