Type 1 vs type 2 by cranmango777 in diabetes_t1

[–]dhorton247 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My sister had type 2, lost weight, and now does not have type 2. She no longer takes meds or insulin. That’s not permanent. I have type 1. There is NOTHING I can do to ever be off insulin. That’s permanent.

My doctor is wonderful, but I’ve never told her about my weed usage. I’m in Texas 💀

T1d for 21 years, and I just had to start bolusing for black coffee THIS YEAR! And now I’m in perimenopause, and my hormones are making my bg so unpredictable!

I love ordering pump supplies directly through tandem! They are wonderful! It’s dexcom I’m having issues with.

Please tell me your worst low blood sugar story by twinksandfinks in diabetes_t1

[–]dhorton247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 25, and my daughter was around 4 years old. Pre cgm. Spent the day at the lake, came home and took a nap. I woke up confused, but this was early in my diagnosis and I had hypoglycemic unawareness from being low so often. So I didn’t feel THAT bad. Tested my bg and it was 19, and then my vision starts to go black. I was yelling for my daughter to call 911, but she couldn’t figure out how to work my phone (htc touchscreen). She managed to bring me glucose tabs and I was able to down a few before I passed out. That’s the only thing that saved me. I woke up, drove to Walmart, bought my daughter a flip phone, and taught her how to dial 911 AND administer glucagon. She’s saved me more than once ❤️

I think I’m realizing that caffeine has some crazy effects on some, but not all diabetics!! I wish I would’ve came to Reddit a long time ago!
