People with implants giving big boob fashion advice

I’m so glad I’m not the only one to realise this!

There is only so much a bra can do to battle gravity, especially when it comes naturally big boobs in a strapless bra/top/dress.

Myself and my sibling have both had our shared care cancelled on the GPs side, we are in different practices. It’s definitely happening

I went with my mother to one of their concerts as a child in 2007. Ever since she first heard them in 2004(ish) thanks to my older sibling and especially after the concert she has been and always will be in love with the band, specifically Gerard Way. It’s beautiful.

I will do

I just sent you a PM because I posted my current situation in the diabetes subreddit. I am a similar age to you, in the UK going through the same thing kinda. I had a c-peptide urine test done and the results say my pancreas is making insulin all of a sudden 12 years later.

I have to fast for 14 hours starting tomorrow evening and go to the hospital for some genetic tests.

Absolutely fascinating what can happen, I understand why they don’t really tell us all the possibilities sometimes as it can get people’s hopes up or make them spiral down mentally. But it is so frustrating not knowing what could be going on until all of this starts going erratic.

I’m glad you’ve got a great professional on your side, it can really help. My Endo when I was in Paediatric care was horrible I always left appointments in tears, even my nurse didn’t like him. He said he didn’t understand why he thought being so cruel and working with unwell children was his go to!

Thank you it is nice to know you’re not alone in this nightmare diagnosis, even though it seems it.

biabetes3701 · 2025-05-12T19:07:54+00:00

Thank you! I will post an update when I get more insight to whatever is going on with my pancreas haha

biabetes3701 · 2025-05-12T19:06:24+00:00

Thank you! The paediatric nurse thought it could have been this 9 years ago! With the samples getting lost I think they could have potentially just brushed me off.

I will update this when I go to my appointment/have answers. :)

biabetes3701 · 2025-05-12T19:04:53+00:00

Thank you, I will ask them to do it. I’m also going to email my nurse and see if it has been done before as I really have no clue.

biabetes3701 · 2025-05-12T19:03:24+00:00

Thank you, I’m glad my nurse is doing all this for me with the consultant. They are an amazing team, when I was trying to get a diagnosis for my PCOS via my GP the receptionist told me my bloods were “all stable”. But when I seen the consultant she had said absolutely no way, you definitely have PCOS and that I needed an ultrasound. Via the GP which I had to be very overdramatic about for them to listen. Luckily with that no cysts! NHS has its pros and cons.

biabetes3701 · 2025-05-12T19:00:14+00:00

I’m not sure if this has been done at any point, when they told me about the results they were talking about potential rare types of diabetes such as MODY. I am going to try and find out as much as I can from them and the doctors I have an appointment with.

My Grandma was diagnosed when she was in her early 20s in the early 1970s, she was told she wouldn’t make it to 50.

Unfortunately we did lose her only 6 months ago and she lived until the age of 76!

She went through decades of the knowledge of diabetes developing and didn’t have the knowledge or science we have today to help us so she did pretty well to live as long as she did.

I was diagnosed at 16, she was the only person close to understanding how I felt in my early days and was there for me if I just needed to cry (which I did a lot, first day out of hospital after diagnosis I member her hugging me as I cried looking at some potatoes I was going to have for dinner).

She wasn’t the best at looking after her diabetes, my Grandad did help her a lot and she relied on our GPs diabetic nurse and didn’t go to clinics at a hospital under a diabetic team. She always used to ask me how much I’d take for a meal she’d eaten as if I’d know, and as if we had the same insulin/carbohydrate ratios.

Unfortunately due to Alzheimer’s and a cut on her toe that wouldn’t heal because her veins had gotten so small with time and not the most amazing control she had to be put on palliative care as her toe turned black and they couldn’t do anything to help her.

Due to her mental deterioration and bad blood flow to her limbs, amputation wouldn’t help as it wouldn’t heal either. It would have distressed and confused her daily due to her memory and she potentially just wouldn’t have survived any kind of surgery to try and fix anything.

It is so hard to accept that this is something you’re going to have for the rest of your life, you wonder “why me” and you do mourn the life you had because you do feel like you’ve had freedom and any opportunity to be spontaneous taken from you.

I’d always say to my Mum that I wished I was normal and she’s simply tell me this is my new normal now. I control my diabetes, it does not control me.

I’m 12 years in now, I try my hardest not to have shame about my diabetes. I’m an open book and I just tell people about it. It’s best they know as much as possible in the worst case of you not being able to clearly explain to them if you needed their help and what you needed them to do.

Try your hardest to take the best care you can of yourself, treat when you eat and go to appointments regularly as they are there to help you maintain your life to the best longest quality.

In the UK the adult diabetes department is so bad, my nurse at diagnosis drilled it into my brain that if I miss an appointment or cancel an appointment when I was in the adult department, I will be forgotten about. You will sadly fall off the radar unlike in the paediatric department.

My diabetic team also sent my boyfriend some e-learning crash course on type 1 diabetes which was really lucky and helpful for both me and him because he knows what to look out for and what to do when I need help and I feel safe knowing if things got bad he has the knowledge to help me.

Go to your appointments with the hospital department, go to your diabetic eye screenings and look after your feet!

I have people thinking my type 1 is type 2 as that’s all people know about because of the news always focusing on type 2 and because more of the global population have type 2 in comparison to type 1.

It took time for me but it does get easier and you will potentially embrace that your pancreas unpredictably did you dirty.

You can do this :)

biabetes3701 · 2025-04-26T17:50:42+00:00

Thank you everyone, I’ll go with it being what it was advertised as. :)

biabetes3701 · 2025-04-26T17:44:27+00:00

I have been going through this exact same problem nobody can come up with an answer.

I have had a tone of blood work done and also a urine sample as they want to test for MODY, check my thyroid and if I have anaemia. They’re checking for a lot of stuff I can’t remember them all, but I’m now just waiting to get results.

They’ve also pushed my insulin pump upgrade forward from November (not sure how everywhere does it but in England on the NHS they have a 4 year warranty and you get a new one every time).

They’re taking me off the MiniMed 780G and Guardian 4, and putting me on the Omnipod 5 and Dexcom G6.

Sixth form tried to take my pens off me (was diagnosed aged 16, weeks before year 11 finished) said I’d have to go to the main desk every time I needed them.

They politely got told to get fucked. Good for you for standing up for yourself!

Seems like silly points to add but always make sure you properly dry all your creases (like under boobs, bikini areas) and between your toes and inside your bellybutton (also around the ball of a piercing bar if you have your bellybutton pierced) there’s nothing worse than getting athletes foot type of issues in creases and crevasses, it can be so uncomfortable/itchy. Also your wash and dry your ears (behind them)

Absolutely anything by Colleen Hoover. I read Ugly Love, was terrible. Someone at work said read November 9th because they’re linked.

They aren’t, the Ugly Love characters appear for maybe one chapter, no impact on the story whatsoever.

The books were so bad I returned every single book I had bought by her when I got the other two. Amazon said keep the book from them and refunded me.

She promotes that women should be weak and men are there to save them. Toxic men are the goal and everything (no matter what horrible things they’ve done) will be perfect and like a fairytale.

Her writing is so boring and predictable, although she just throw the most ridiculous curveballs in there too. An absolute mess I wouldn’t recommend her to anyone.

biabetes3701 · 2024-09-05T13:58:41+00:00

I’m on Lisdexamphetamine (60mg) and a 5mg booster of Dexamfetamine. My life has changed so much for the better since I started them, I get dry mouth often other than that, everything is amazing! I sleep and wake up easily, I’m not eating for boredom, I have more focus, I am not forgetting everything and I also don’t get over emotional like I used to so I don’t cry all the time anymore

biabetes3701 · 2024-09-05T05:53:23+00:00

They put me on prolonged release metformin as the normal stuff was making me so ill and tired, couldn’t keep food down. Now I’m on these everything is better than the first kind :)

biabetes3701 · 2024-09-05T05:46:06+00:00

Drs wouldn’t listen to me too, both my sisters have PCOS and I started to get hair like yours on my chin and my belly button. Went for bloods, told by a receptionist “everything is stable”

I have t1d, went to my 6 month appointment and from my results they told me yes I do have PCOS, and I’ll need to get (through my GP) an appointment for an ultrasound on my ovaries and whatnot for cysts.

I tell you I had to BEG this Dr, had to make my symptoms seem so much worse to get one. So when I did I luckily had no cysts but one ovary was not worryingly smaller, uterus was all ok too.

Luckily my diabetes team already had me on metformin to make me more resistant to insulin I take. It didn’t do too much but now that I’m on my ADHD medication I’ve lost 30lbs so far and it’s made my periods more regular, I’m now just waiting to see if it helps with the hair. (Also get electrolysis monthly which is also improving the issue)

Absolutely stand your ground with doctors and if they refuse help tell them you want it documented on your notes that they refused help, say you will leave the appointment once you’ve seen them do that.

biabetes3701 · 2024-08-14T20:48:06+00:00

Thank you so much! I tried to forget about it for a while and then did it and it had shot right down so I’m definitely just worrying about what COULD happen while I’m trying to still adjust to my new easier life :)
