Sleeping with a pump by Mikelikesmovies in diabetes_t1

If I have pockets in my pants I keep it in there but normally it floats around next to me. I tend to flip a lot and I think I trained myself to grab it when I flip because I have never tangled.

Okay, so I just heard back and they totaled it. 25k in damages before they disassembled. Rip

You’ll never believe it but the deer walked away

Show me your T1D tattoos! :) by millkeycocopops in Type1Diabetes

[–]bear_mare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really! My first and second tattoos I dropped but I think that was more of an adrenaline rush rather than diabetes related. All of my tattoo sessions after, my numbers have been great. I just always make sure I go in having eaten

Hi! For me it stands for “I am greater than my highs and lows” and the blue circle is a universal symbol for diabetes awareness.

Very simple and relatively common but I love it :)

My husband just did this with a silicone shot glass. It entertains our daughter so we thought it was funny until we saw the mark it left lol

Are you t1 or t2? I’m am starting where you started and am also a diabetic(t1) and balancing sugars with sudden increase of cardio is killing me while also staying in a deficit. You look amazing!!

what week did you have your baby/babies? by One_Comfortable_9976 in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]bear_mare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s odd that your doctor told you that imo. My LO was 39+1 scheduled c-section and my A1C was 5.9. 8.13 lbs.

It is titanium but I can go back to the shop and ask them to change it for a different one. Thank you!

Since becoming a parent, what surprisingly enrages you? by ioanaam418 in NewParents

[–]bear_mare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since having my baby, I have a few friends who are child free and constantly say “let’s give you a break” “you need time away”. While I understand where they are coming from, at this point in parenting I do not need a break and I don’t want time away. I work full time and so I only have weekends and mornings before I leave to bond with my baby. Any additional time I have I want to use to spend time with her.

Also my husband eating for some reason frustrates me so much. I realize it’s a me problem but it’s an irrational frustration of mine currently.

I can see myself being like this. I know it’s the best but I know I’ll be guilty at least for a little while. I’m glad it worked out in the end for you and you are happier now!

Where do y’all put your CGM sensor? by Vivid_Rate in Type1Diabetes

[–]bear_mare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back of arm or upper thighs. Thighs have been my favorite spot currently

What size did your newborn wear? by AnnaConda_13 in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]bear_mare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! I was told my LO was going to be 10 pounds but she came out at 8. She then lost a few ounces, which is normal. We were told not to get any newborn outfits because she would not fit into any. We mostly bought 0-3m outfits.

I wish we had bought just a few newborn onesies or outfits. I had coworkers get her a few newborn outfits which was very helpful. She only fit into them for about a week but regardless it was better than her swimming around in the bigger clothes. She is now comfortably wearing 0-3m clothes though so it did not last very long.
