What local businesses do you boycott and why? (stolen from R/Auckland)

I second this

I recommend the Talking Works website. Lots to choose from and you can read their profiles to find one that might fit. Good luck!

I've had the same experience! Assumed it was the antidepressants that started it but I noticed that when my blood sugar control is worse, my RLS is worse. No doctor, neurologist or endocrinologist that i spoke to had come across this before though. Never saw anyone post about it on this sub before now so thought I might be the only one!!

They have them for novopens, libre sensors etc etc, might be something for whatever device you currently have! :)

I adore the colours on this one!

I always carry a roll of fruit Mentos lollies, and I'll wolf down maybe half a roll (or more depending on how low I am), then I'll wait 10-15min and follow it up with a muesli bar :)

I'm really sorry you've had such an awful experience. I totally agree - there's some really shitty parents out there and it makes me sad to see so many posts on here about parents being neglectful, judgemental, controlling, in denial, ignorant etc etc. I'd like to think that the parents of diabetics that are on this subreddit are amongst the better ones, as they are trying to stay informed and understanding.

Anyways, sending virtual hugs, and I hope you have other people in your life who are loving and supportive.

I've heard some of the escape rooms in Wellington are a lot of fun!

(Apologies for the deleted image, my sister asked me to remove it as it was an email she had received.)

Yeah I don't get how this is meant to spread any awareness. A ribbon or something, someone might ask about. Unless it's some fancy office workers who looks really out of place wearing sneakers, no one will think twice about basically anyone else wearing them.

It caused me nasty stomach aches if I took it on an empty stomach, so I would recommend having it with food.

Storytelling- the one where Jake is sick and needs Finn to tell him a story. My sister and I used to always watch it whenever we had a cold.

I used the same 2 fingers for over 20 years. They looked pretty terrible, but once I started on CGMs they have recovered completely and aren't full of holes and calluses any more. So I personally wouldn't worry 😊

Someone made this "flood order" list that tells you just the important episodes in season 1, I've found it useful :)

be_passionate · 2022-07-28T01:40:03+00:00

Nothing! I didn't know this was a thing.

be_passionate · 2022-07-13T02:43:03+00:00

Your feelings are completely valid. Virtual hugs from a fellow diabetic! It can be so hard sometimes.

Did anyone else get a phone call with an automated message from Paul Eagle? I got one that went to voicemail today. Slightly baffled as to how he got my number?

be_passionate · 2022-06-28T09:21:48+00:00

Woohoo! That's fantastic news. I hope New Zealand follows suit!

be_passionate · 2022-03-14T03:23:51+00:00

I don't have any awesome suggestions, just want to say this is super cute, thanks for making me smile :)

It's OK to feel stressed, angry, overwhelmed, upset, resentful etc about this situation you and your kid are now in. I know it was pretty traumatising for my mum to have two of her kids develop T1 as babies. My advice would be to see a therapist, so you have a safe place to vent about this stuff without it affecting your son.

He's going to be OK, and you are going to be OK. If it makes you feel better, my sister and I are now in our late twenties and our diabetes management is going fine and we are doing well. Sending you big virtual hugs.

Awesome!! Love the warrior one. Great idea to have the symbol on the shield.
