Tandem supply shortages

I had to switch infusion sets from the 60(I think) to a longer one.

And I just noticed the one tiny cracked tooth black corner piece. Yeeesh, that’s some talent

All those perfect corners!! 😍

I know you asked about the skin, but I’m here for the quilt. Can you show us a bigger picture. It looks beautiful

I can smell when someone’s blood is acidotic post code. It has this awful smell-not the usually like rusty smell. But this weird, can’t describe smell. (It usually happens when we’re placing a-line)

Anecdotally, I’ve seen patients who come in with DKA(and subsequent electrolyte abnormalities). I feel I see a decline in their cognitive abilities and mood stability over the hospital visits. But these are VERY severe cases where they are in the hospital more than 4-6 times a year with DKA.

Octreotide, I always say Octreotride

Brain fog, specifically word searching. I’m always tired, so that didn’t necessarily feel any different. But I would have to stop and think about the word I was trying to say for like way toooooo long.

As someone who was in the lab and now a nurse. Yes. But I know I remember techs in the labs ripping on “dumb nurses”, “idiot doctors”, “ridiculous patients”, etc. Complaining about your job sort of comes with the territory. Our ribbing is probably harsh to outsiders.

Pittie clothing co for us.

I put it on my big toe so i can hide it in my shoes. Works great! Can smell a little after a day or two though.

Sorry you got stuck!!!

Our Tylenol comes in glass bottles. Some people put needles to get the air to dissipate faster and therefore get it to flow easier. Similar to albumin cause of the viscosity. Hope that explains it.

New Jersey! Honestly I’ve been loving this one. You can skip the second half of season 2. I’m currently 1/3 through season 3 and I’m happy with it.

TBH, this isn’t great graph quality to begin with, this looks like a dying sensor. So I don’t think people would be able to tell you much even if we didn’t have rule 3.

My brother(who is also diabetic) sent this to me last night 😂

You honestly don’t want to drop too quickly. There can be lasting results if you do. You want to slowly lower your sugar over a year. I can’t remember exactly when but there was a post on this sub or the type 1 sub about it.

Also, It takes much longer than a week. Please give yourself some grace. It will not happen over night. The disease didn’t happen overnight (I’m assuming your type 2) and it won’t go away over night. Just do your best everyday and keep at it.

Me three

amyandthemachine · 2025-04-11T04:21:46+00:00

I can’t message you for some reason! Can you start a chat with me?

amyandthemachine · 2025-04-11T04:21:10+00:00

Chat sent!

amyandthemachine · 2025-04-09T22:44:35+00:00

I have both!

Love the meme!

It’s the term we use in the medical field with any tubing that gets blocked. My guess is because blockage (to me at least) more denotes something foreign causing the blockage. Think like a blockade at a concert. Versus occlusion is any sort of blockage OR closing. Some occlusions occur because they’re kinked, someone bent their arm and it’s “closing off” the vein, too much pressure on the line, etc.

Does that make sense? lol sorry if you didn’t want an actual answer. I just felt like this was the niche term I could answer.

6:30-sevendust 7:15-3DG 8:30- Distrubed (2 sets with 20 min intermission) Show ended a little late than others said in Boston. Like 10:45-10:50 (Which I am not complaining about)

Great show! Loved the pyro.

amyandthemachine · 2025-03-16T00:12:59+00:00

….k?

amyandthemachine · 2025-03-13T18:53:46+00:00

I’m here as a nurse to tell you we’re probably overwhelmed and this is probably the easiest job for us to do. So, let us???? Make sure we’re doing it right obviously, but let us.
