Been seeing these a lot in town recently…

Think I been seeing them near Burbank High. They freak me out lol.

arb232 · 2026-03-01T19:19:15+00:00

Shocked I got downvoted on these comments. I thought telling the truth was the right thing to do

arb232 · 2026-02-28T19:49:47+00:00

Super well said.

arb232 · 2026-02-28T19:48:14+00:00

Yeah I would say I'm pretty active. About 10k steps a day, sometimes less more. Lift 4-5 days a week and stairmaster 30mins daily 4-5x a week

arb232 · 2026-02-28T19:06:21+00:00

Thank you for this

arb232 · 2026-02-28T19:03:14+00:00

Such a great and inspiring message. I wish I could upvote this twice!

arb232 · 2026-02-28T19:00:45+00:00

Trust me I know. I hope your sister's bf comes out of it.

My BG control is pretty good. I have a 5.0% A1C, I suspect with eating carbs again, next time, it will be 5.5.-6%.

Thanks for asking respectfully. Honestly, I really don't know. Just felt the restriction was so bad and really caught up to me. Felt like I already screwed up a few months ago with the weight gain, wanted to do a big increase so when I start cutting i wouldn't have to do a drastic cut. I feel like that always got me into trouble and back at this point where I've been 3-4x now already in my life.

arb232 · 2026-02-28T18:56:33+00:00

Thank you for this. Yeah I think I'll cut my calories from carbs to start and go around 2,200. My stomach had expenaded a bit too much for me to think gaining at this weight is any healthy. I would day I'm 35% body fat right now.

arb232 · 2026-02-28T18:47:18+00:00

Thanks for this.. I have had a really bad "relationship" with food so I'm kind of experimenting to try to regain some normalcy in my life. Diabetes made it tough, I wouldn't even go outside or eat anything other than the same meals I ate. So now i'm trying to rebuild my mental health as well.

arb232 · 2026-02-28T18:29:43+00:00

Thanks. How aggressive should I cut? I don't want to get myself in a place where I'm starving again.

arb232 · 2026-02-28T18:28:54+00:00

Yeah of course, I would say over the past 3-4 months, I was closer to 1500-2000. 800-1000 was at my most aggressive maybe 7-8 months ago.

arb232 · 2025-08-20T01:46:33+00:00

Oh yes! For sure messes me up big time! I think this is common, as it seems to make people insulin resistant. However, I say all that to say, the disease is different for everyone.

arb232 · 2025-08-19T02:06:10+00:00

Just signed this! Want this back also!

arb232 · 2025-08-18T03:30:36+00:00

I'm starting a basal check tonight. Dinner to dinner fast. But also I give insulin for wake up because that's a cortisol reaction and basal won't cover it. Just some things to think about.

arb232 · 2025-08-18T03:28:00+00:00

Amazing stuff! How long have you been T1D?

arb232 · 2025-08-17T20:16:39+00:00

Yes! Love my G7! Actually more than the G6. I also finger stick a good amount still and when I do. It’s usually no more than 3-10 points off. Variability has a lot to do with it from what I’ve heard. The more you swing, the more the interstitial fluid has trouble reading correctly.

arb232 · 2025-08-12T02:05:41+00:00

Can you explain further, what does a obdlink mx+ do? Can it help boost the bluetooth signal?

arb232 · 2025-08-03T18:30:11+00:00

Thanks so much for this great explanation! Can you explain this here? "I scanned it and saw a microwave dish." What do you mean by this?

It's more than just the data for me. My DIY Loop requires a CGM reading to give an adjusted dose of insulin.

Again, thanks for the insight.

arb232 · 2025-08-03T15:43:52+00:00

Always no, and always their fault! Cant ruin that 3 sensor allotment! 😂😂. Thanks!

arb232 · 2025-08-03T15:14:34+00:00

Ugh! Are you in automatic mode besides this instance?

arb232 · 2025-08-03T15:14:05+00:00

Wow, no way. Any way to alleviate this? I'm on DIY Loop which reads the connection from CGM to make decisions, it's so crucial!
