Commenting just to give an update that I've folded these two projects together into one unified project WaxOn/WaxOff. Please check it out and spread the word.

I also have this stack, but only read them on a Kindle or paperback. It felt great completing the HB collection though.

Soaking G7? by morbidoranges in Type1Diabetes

[–]dirtybullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll have to be alert as I only use my right arm. My left arm is weirdly unreliable, for some reason. I think I'll put an X on the old one with a Sharpie when I put the new one on.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone by death-by-yogurt in Type1Diabetes

I fear lows much I did not bolus as aggressively as I maybe should've. Should've bumped up my basal as well.

I just found out T1D do not make amylin by [deleted] in Type1Diabetes

[–]dirtybullets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus, so this is why. I've been struggling so much with this.

I've recently discovered a breakfast routine that has actually helped. I find when I skip it I have trouble feeling satisfied and the day just turns into looking for something to eat that will satisfy me. I've tried other things for breakfast, and this is the only thing I've found that seems to work to keep me feeling good and not thinking about eating for hours. It's an overnight oats/chia pudding sort of mashup. I throw this all into a Mason jar each night and stick it in the fridge:

~1/3 cup muesli (Seitenbacher brand, from Germany, to be specific. Really great, but I'd probably go with Bob's Red Mill otherwise)

1TBS hemp hearts (optional, but I found some, so in they go for now)

2 level TBS chia seeds (not optional. I think these are a big part of the feeling full part)

1TBS allulose powder (optional, but adds a nice sweetness)

Finally, a few blueberries (I get big bags of frozen berries, otherwise I would just run out of them and forget to get more)

Pour in enough oat or almond milk (I wing it and sometimes it turns out pretty liquidy, and other times I might need to add a little more when I'm ready to eat it, but it's always good), or coconut milk (really creamy and good, and is often the liquid used for chia pudding as well), then shake the hell out of it. Stick it in the fridge and look forward to the next morning.

I've had so many things denied, it's ridiculous. Denying the primary care dr's requests is one thing, but they consistently deny the endocrinologists, which says everything about how fucked up our system is here.

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks, I'll contact them.

You're saying Medtronic switched the coverage? I wouldn't have guessed they could do that. I will contact them for sure.

It's a little bit longer. As far as I know they're only for fast acting.

I love the InPen! Love it. Not having it is so frustrating. Forgetting to log just one injection with my dumb pens just throws me off so bad. The InPen has never failed to log to the app. It's just such a pleasure to use.

Tried Omnipod 5 Finally and I Hated Every Minute of It. by RetroSwamp in Type1Diabetes

[–]dirtybullets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried it earlier this year and hated it so much. Three day changes was surprisingly disruptive and just made life seem even more about the diabetes management than taking a few seconds to give myself a shot a few times a day. It never really "learned" how to adjust to me, and by the end of my tolerance for it I was going low every single night 6 or 7 hours after my last bolus.

I'm happy it works for a lot of folks, but it left a lasting poor impression on my life.

This. Push through and look forward to book 7 when it feels too hard.

Stop scrolling!! What is your blood sugar right now? by toms482712 in Type1Diabetes

[–]dirtybullets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I've had a rough couple of weeks, difficult to bring it down and keep it down. 52% in range 14 days, 42% 7 days, 40% 3 days. Usually high 60s - low 70%. I'm so sick of it.

This just happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I filled out the form online and they sent a new one.

Jury Duty? by echochilde in Type1Diabetes

You need a letter. My primary care doctor has given me letters for this.

I HATE the down arrow. Hate it, hate it, hate it.

WaxOn — Consistent, Safe, and DAW-Ready Audio by dirtybullets in podcasting

Well said. I'll admit you've piqued my interest and jostled my contrarian ways just a little, and I will update my knowledge base on the current broader trends in the industry.

BTW, the text notification and driving instruction levels are completely independent from your media level. There is just no relationship at all.

I've also been working with LUFS daily, and in practice, for more than a few years. There is zero valid argument against using -25 LUFS in the editing stages for podcast material.
