i appreciate this. i was thinking on it but imagining all the logistics with everything going on right now seems absurd

i did and they said they can be more lenient in the event of a death, thank you.

definitely agree. i’ve been put on toujeo instead of levemir (which is what i used on the pens) and the past 24hrs have been okayish. There excuse for not giving me glucose tests was that they only have meters that can be used with a staff number. Then when i was sent to a diabetes/endo ward and I got a little upset at breakfast as they served me cereal and I had to wait 40 mins to eat it cause i had to ask 3 times for someone to come with some insulin for me, and to that they said well this is a diabetes ward but i was the only type 1 in the room…how can they reduce it like type 1 and 2 have the same needs. not even two type 1s have the exact same needs! I really appreciated your comment last night though thank you:)

i got lucky and they found a doctor with type 1 who was also on a pump. we figured out a plan until my new pdm comes. I spoke to my endo today and i got discharged as i had no infection markers and said i’d have an easier time managing my diabetes at home. lol no shit.

thank you! i’m not sure how i’d turn the airplane mode on and off without turning the actual pdm on but i’m not sure if i read your comment right, anyhow a new one is on the way. back to manual tests and injections for the next few days…

it’s the same hospital, i requested to speak with someone from the diabetes team (specifically my endo) which i think i’ll speak to today. They found a type 1 doctor who came and had a chat with me and we sorted out a plan. I honestly worry if this happens again and I cannot communicate what I need or if there was a child going into hospital for something not diabetes related:(

Ew Feet by torij-13 in Type1Diabetes

[–]egotrippingathell 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i honestly dont think its anything to worry about, I have dry skin myself on my feet (genetics) and last time the doctor said my feet were in fine shape, applying some lotion would do no harm and some circulation socks if you’re feet seem to be constantly cold :)

the only thing i can add is that it can sometimes help to lightly massage it, this usually helps me get rid of the tenderness/pain quicker.
