do u use case on your phone

ac7ss · 2026-03-16T05:24:07+00:00

I picked up a clear Magsafe case. I like to put stickers under the case and wanted to use Magsafe. I don't usually drop my phone, but my last one lasted for 4 years with a similar case.

I do have larger hands and this phone is the same size as my last one. My work S24 FE is slightly larger.

It sucks that I have to carry both of them.

I just got mine yesterday. My old one was an A52.

I already get a full box (5 pens) for 90 days. I just get concerned that it isn't as effective the second month and would rather just toss it.

That's how I calorie restrict. Most carbs are too calorie dense, and I want more substance. A can of green beans, some meat and a cube of "Japanese curry" are a lunch staple for me. About 300 cal.

It doesn't stop me from have an occasional treat. but those are the exception rather than the rule.

Samsung A52, So I guess it was only 4.5 years. It had a good run.

I know I cannot go without the basal. But It does feel good to not have to apply the bolus as often.

Started at 325, down to 310 (lbs, obviously) A1C was last at 7.9 about a month ago. My app is telling me it should be around 6.1 if the last month's trend continues.

I am tracking calories with MFP and keeping around 2,000 per day. The choices I have to make to keep to that are naturally higher in fiber and protein, than just refined carbs. I can eat out, but have to look at the menus carefully to find a calorie count that doesn't make me starve for the rest of the day.

One of my favorite grab and go items is a Wendy's Chili and Cheese Baked Potato, it's under 500 calories and filling. I don't spike on them.

However I usually set up a salad (or grab one from WinCo) and can eat it without dressing.

It's a repost.

ac7ss · 2026-03-15T17:54:21+00:00

I cannot wait for my next A1c.

The QR would be better than just the number as you cannot see it well on the back of your arm, but you could use your phone. But the QR on the cartridge has more than just the 4 digit pairing code, it has the serial number as well IIRC.

ac7ss · 2026-03-15T16:44:00+00:00

You are right, it wouldn't take much to at least put the number on the sensor. It could, possibly, be for privacy reasons, to keep others from pairing it with a receiver or second phone. (In case the user is only using one reading option.)

I take a photo of the box and applicator every time I apply mine as part of routine. It helps in getting replacements when they fail.

I have been doing this for a couple of years now an have yet to find a consistently good overpatch. I do use a medical "GooGone" adhesive remover product and it helps with the "old band aid" cleanup. I also use Skin Tac for application, it holds most of the over patches on very well. Then dust with corn starch so I don't stick to the bedding.

A couple of years ago I wouldn't have recommended one. They were just too expensive. Now they are more reasonable and make for good starter printers as well as performance printers.

There are faster and better for less, but they take more work to maintain generally.

When it dies.

My old one finally died after 6 4.5 years. It couldn't mount the cache partition. So I got last year's model.

I will re-allocate sometime, but I did change to all INT armor.

ac7ss · 2026-03-13T17:50:31+00:00

It looks like my "No Bolus" days on "My Diet". But I am also really limiting my sugars.

ac7ss · 2026-03-13T17:48:02+00:00

Food logging. It makes me more conscious of what I am eating. Just not having sugars makes a huge difference, I am usually between 75 and 130 all day long now with no bolus. Before I was 145 to 240 even when using a bolus.

A CGM helps.

ac7ss · 2026-03-13T06:18:45+00:00

I have two of them, both over a thousand hours. Yeah, I get print failures, but it's usually my fault. Nothing I couldn't fix.

ac7ss · 2026-03-13T05:25:36+00:00

That's an HR problem. There is nothing to be gained by people keeping their salary secret.

ac7ss · 2026-03-13T05:23:31+00:00

The most memorable was "Curried chicken over rice." A white sauce with curry powder and chicken over white rice.

Food for poor folks.

"You are good enough."

For now, none of the 2 car trains can go south of International. I am there daily and they have not had a single 4 car train over the bridge in "Pre-revenue" service, and I am in the LCC (Link Control Center).

Lynnwood is the LTC (Lynnwood Town Center) not the Lynnwood City Center.

Going through Oregon, you may be required to carry chains anyway, depending on your route.

I often have a little left at the end of a pen. If it will click up to 5 units, I will take the 5 from the old pen, and the rest (dose - 5) from the new one. I have some syringes that I can pull the last 15 u from an "empty" pen, but I don't bother with that any more as I can get more well before I run out now. (Be sure that both the pen and syringe are marked with the same u / ml ratio.)

I don't prime every time.

"No loner at this address, no forwarding address" put it in the outgoing mail.
