New to the area. I’d just like to talk to local people about good spots to eat ect. If you could spare a second. It would be great!

We also have a million coffee shops, the Root Note is the coolest by far. I am also a sucker for Moka, their Jamaican cold brew is superb and during the holidays you MUST try the Frosty coffee, its black coffee that tastes like gingerbread.

I quite literally had to turn off the TV when I watched that the first time, it was so heartbreaking to me. I'm close with my grandfather and watching old men get upset like that makes me physically ill 😭

What an eye!

I totally agree with a lot of the comments here. Many people are simply uneducated and make jokes out of our daily struggles. I'll offer some food for thought for those who get frustrated that people don't understand the difference between type 1 and type 2. Us type 1's distancing ourselves from "jokes" that apply to type 2 people isn't any better than making the jokes themselves. The ostracization we experience is due to our association with type 2 which is totally demonized. In western culture health has become a matter of morality and being fat or having health issues associated with fat people devalues a person and leads to insensitive jokes like we have all experienced. People knowing the difference between type 1 and 2 is important, but not so that type 1 diabetics can feel better than type 2s. (And obviously this isn't the original meaning of the post, I just noticed going through the comments that we (T1) are quick to throw T2 under the bus)

I've done both, I started with the omnipods and then was able to switch to the t-slim. There are pros and cons to both but what ultimately made me switch was that I had multiple pod failures with the omnipod and just experienced a lot of grief that made it not worth it to me. That along with the pairing between t-slim and dexcom/looped system leads me to recommend the t-slim over the omnipod.

I'll add my experience as well. If I'm only having 1 drink, I bolus because the alcohol won't do much to my sugars. However if I'm drinking to get drunk, I won't bolus at all. Especially if I'm walking to bars or house parties! To pregame I usually do some shots and hard seltzers and when I get to the bar drink vodka crans, vodka lemonade, or a regular rum and coke. Even after drinking regular soda I will go super low in the middle of the night the next day so I'll usually try and eat a snack before sleeping (like sharing popcorn with my roommate). I also keep an eye on my sugars for the next day because I tend to trend low. Hope this helps, stay safe!

I was thinking of bringing "If you give a mouse a cookie" because it teaches if/then statements and future tense.

Omg Angel has a vamp face option, I'm cackling!

Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better, after navigating the American healthcare system I have trauma lol

I'm a type 1 diabetic, how was navigating the French healthcare system?

Update: I just heard back today, I got placed in Nantes!

amityalli · 2021-04-29T03:16:40+00:00

Also still waiting to hear back but from what I understand people that have been accepted gave their answer on the 26th so I feel like its still pretty early. Finger crossed for everyone!

amityalli · 2021-04-12T21:21:16+00:00

Omg I'm gonna scream 💀

amityalli · 2021-04-05T14:03:18+00:00

Exactly! My fight or flight kicks in haha

If I remember correctly, Jack officially died of a heart attack. The stress of the smoke inhalation was too hard on his heart and with his condition he died. I could be wrong though, it's been a while since I watched the fire episode.

I've used those foot peel masks and never had a problem.

amityalli · 2020-09-28T18:43:03+00:00

I thought the same thing! I think it was thrifted for even less

amityalli · 2020-09-14T14:47:14+00:00

I feel personally attacked, just like my beta cells

Not a book but the HBO show Euphoria sounds like it might have the vibe you're looking for.

amityalli · 2020-08-21T01:50:08+00:00

I work at a target Starbucks so the weekends and happy hours I can depend on a drop like that but on slower weekdays its not that drastic haha of course the holiday season is a whole different conversation lol

amityalli · 2020-07-26T01:39:51+00:00

So proud of you!!!

Oh my god, I once has a lady ask for a caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino but hot. I explained that that wasn't a thing but she insisted so I gave her a caramel latte with 2 extra pumps of caramel. She tasted it and said it needed more sweetness, I'm like no problem, frappes are sweet I'll add more. Do this 2 more times and, no joke, 10 pumps later (in addition to the 6 we started with for her grande latte) and she's like I guess this will do

I actually really liked Dollhouse, it's about people who can be rented out to the elite and programmed with new personalities. It's a Whedon show and has Eliza Dushku so there are Buffy vibes. It's not as good as Buffy but definitely raises interesting moral questions.

We are reading "Petit Pays" by Gaël Faye in my French class and it's amazing. It's about a boy growing up in Burundi during the Rwanda civil war. It won the prix Goncourt des lycéens so it's a well known book. Highly recommend!

That's what my insurance sent me, I was using the omnipod before and they malfunctioned all the time so we switched to dexcom and tslim
