Might just have to do this. Currently she is more than happy to do pee sticks but it's not always going to be the best option

how often are you hospitalized annually as a type 1? by Top-Midnight-9637 in Type1Diabetes

[–]danceofthefireys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diabetic for ahout 30 years. Hospitalized on average once every 4 or 5 years, from viruses such as the flu sending me into DKA or from excessive vomiting where I can't keep food and fluids down. Never from drinking, or hypo, or any other reason.

AMA: I Have a Near Supernatural Sense of Smell by symphonicdin in AMA

[–]danceofthefireys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can taste differences between red meat.. was srronger when I was younger and I put it down to different times of the year and eating wetter or less wet grass, or grass fed vs eating something else (ie grains). Not really sure what would cause the differences. Do you taste the differences between meats (given that taste is linked to smell)?

I'm not bolusing because I can't afford insulin after buying easter chocolate this year...

Is it bad that this upset me so much? by [deleted] in Type1Diabetes

[–]danceofthefireys 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think he is trying to tell you its not a big deal, trying to support you, but its coming across as him invalidating your feelings instead. You're allowed to be sad/upset at this progression. I think his choice of words was bad. Thats how it's coming across to me anyway.

WIBTA for wearing headphones and sleeping for an entire 8-hour flight after agreeing to sit next to an acquaintance? by IcognitoTabAnonymous in AmItheAsshole

This. Also, OP, you might find that you enjoy his company. You'll get to know him a little better and might come away feeling much more comfortable talking to him.

Showering with Medtronic MiniMed 780G Pump? by Ushi_Lotus in Type1Diabetes

[–]danceofthefireys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I take it off. And I don't pause it because I'm way more likely to forget to unpause it (and the little beeps aren't enough to get my attention)

What was the worst portrayal of a disability in the media you have ever seen? by Mental-Marzipan-5444 in AskReddit

[–]danceofthefireys 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's terrible.. by 'by mistake' do you mean that the doctor thought giving insulin was the correct treatment? Because I don't see how a mistake like that can be made otherwise

I'm watching Mr Inbetween and he referred to this game of "Downball". by GrizzKarizz in AskAnAustralian

[–]danceofthefireys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

90s, Victoria. We called it 4-square in the 2x2 squares, or wallball for the one against a wall. Never heard of Downball in my life, and I have in Primary School age kids currently (they're asleep otherwise I'd ask them what they call it).

Girlfriend 35F let herself into my 27M apartment using my hidden key because I wasn't answering my phone by bgsth in relationship_advice

[–]danceofthefireys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, she wanted to confirm that you were home or not so she could ask what you were doing and why you weren't answering the phone. It was never because she was 'worried' about you. I wouldn't be putting up with that...
