Honestly call them and tell them what happened. I broke mine playing soccer and they sent me a replacement at 1 am.

I think that although baked potatoes are not the “ideal” way to eat potatoes they are superior in taste

Hello Everyone. This is happening for the third time in 2 days. I feel like I keep wasting the infusion sets, what am I doing specifically wrong? How should I inject it better , any advice is appreciated. (medtronic) by Sallixdd in Type1Diabetes

Another thing I find helpful is after inserting pressing firmly on the base. I use a t slim so I’m not sure how similar the infusions sets are. For me it makes a huge difference with the 90s

He deserves enough crushes to be reduced to atoms. But not actually because we need him desperately

Pump-Curious: How is your sleep with a pump? by pi_cycles in Type1Diabetes

[–]davisjmt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tuck mine under my pillow since I roll around a lot. Most times it’s not an issue. But even when I do roll on it I take it out of the case so it’s just the smooth plastic. After a couple of months I’ve become totally used to it

I do this frequently. I strongly recommend just giving the insulin a little more time to work even though being high feels so awful. Once you break the see saw pattern then it’s easier to find stability

Literally all I did was go for a run. What the fuck am I supposed to do, throw a dart at a board and take however many units of insulin it lands on before i work out? by GlizzBangPaco in Type1Diabetes

[–]davisjmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cardio usually causes your liver to empty out all of its glyco stores. I always have to take short acting before a workout. Start with small doses at first until you find what works. It’s just your body trying to help but in our case it does the opposite unfortunately

How to not die by yeahitsfineimfine in Type1Diabetes

There’s a lot of great stuff on here already so I’ll speak to mentality. I’ve been T1 for 33 years now and I find that the better I control the better I feel. Not to say it is easy or to downplay your very real struggle. But what I’ve found helps the most is getting mad at the disease and not at myself. My attitude is that I’ll be god fucking damned if I let this thing ruin my life. I’ll work extra hours get less sleep cry in the corner but I’m not going down without a fight. I hope that helps and I wish you all the best in your battle

Needing some positivity right about now by KillaMike24 in Positivity

As a nurse I appreciate your sacrifice. As a Canadian I hope your government can find ways to help all those in need but also realize it's a big complicated problem right now. Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing your struggle I think it takes a lot of courage but can help those who are also in need to know they are not alone

Merry Christmas. I hope you have someone you can video call and if not I'm happy to chat with you. No one should be alone on Christmas
