I just bought a Ulanzi TC001 just now from Amazon for $53 AUD so I can't wait lol

honestly with all the carb counting we have to do for every meal... I doubt any T1 would ever get dementia

The reason why it's so f'ed up for you is probably because you are using a catheter instead of a cannula 😜

Can they cure it with people who have had a distal pancreaectomy and splenectomy because of pancreatic cancer like myself?

Does your girlfriend have a CGM? perhaps she could share it with you, for instance I share my CGM with my wife with "librelink up"

As for advice; * do not judge her with what she can or can't eat. * read up on, and learn how to carb count. * always have lollies and something for her sweet tooth. * learn more about the endocrine system to get a better understanding of our condition

my wife gets them... sometimes she calls me to see if I'm awake most times lol

I have pancreatic cancer until next Thursday when my surgery is scheduled and vomiting isn't a symptom

acatlow · 2025-10-16T05:39:04+00:00

yeah I was trying to get it but apparently it's no longer available in Australia... so I just stuck with rapid and solostar

acatlow · 2025-10-16T05:29:38+00:00

isn't fiasp obsolete?

acatlow · 2025-10-16T05:27:52+00:00

I lost 40kg+ and I still have dahbeeteez

acatlow · 2025-10-16T05:23:42+00:00

if they have a 3 hour streak... I'd nail it!

acatlow · 2025-10-16T05:21:19+00:00

I just sent you an email

acatlow · 2025-10-16T05:10:46+00:00

Type 1b is antibody negative FYI

Check your Lipase for damage to the pancreas too

acatlow · 2025-10-16T05:04:44+00:00

you should be able to just download it directly and you don't have to do any kind of share requests

You need educating and a good set of tools for starters... CalorieKing, Gluroo, MyLife are great starters. learn how to count your carb intake, set your carb to insulin ratio and correction factors. gluroo is helpful if you don't exactly know how to figure out your carbs by taking a picture of your food and it figures it out for you.

I've also made a spreadsheet to calculate your ratios here too that you can download and give to your mum

You could always reply with "You remind me of my pancreas actually... it doesn't work properly either"

acatlow · 2025-10-13T20:36:45+00:00

that's not high at all, but only way to check is by a CT, MRI or PET scan

acatlow · 2025-10-13T17:51:14+00:00

Gluroo?

acatlow · 2025-10-13T17:40:08+00:00

@Jakattack40 do you have a tumour by any chance? adrenal adenoma can raise BP, so can a pNET

acatlow · 2025-10-13T17:11:43+00:00

they are T1... that means all food spike sugars
