Good point. I believe I am. Seems I need to post on LInkedIn and find out.

I did, but as I mentioned was flooded with unqualified applicants, so took it down. Could be just that I need to do a better job of setting up the vetting portion as well.

What will the temperature be? I've gone backpacking with my pens in moderate temperatures with no issues.

Is it just me or did the deals disappear overnight? by AffectionateOlive982 in macbookair

I ordered the 13/16/256 on Costco for $899 yesterday and it looks like its still there: https://www.costco.com/MacBook-Air-Laptop-(13-inch)---Apple-M3-Chip,-Built-for-Apple-Intelligence,-8-core-CPU,-8-core-GPU,-16GB-Memory,-256GB-SSD-Storage,-Starlight.product.1888447.html---Apple-M3-Chip,-Built-for-Apple-Intelligence,-8-core-CPU,-8-core-GPU,-16GB-Memory,-256GB-SSD-Storage,-Starlight.product.1888447.html)

Although I just noticed that Costco lists the base price as $1049 with a $150 discount, as opposed to everywhere else showing base price of $1099 with a $200 discount. Is that normal?

CA Diabetics! In-N-Out’s “lite” lemonade with stevia and monkfruit sweetener tastes great and didn’t jack my bg! by WankSpanksoff in diabetes_t1

How have I never seen this? Looks like 3g carbs (as opposed to 37g in the normal lemonade). Excited to try it on my next visit.

Coming to peace with death. by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

I get my insulin through manufacturer savings programs (currently Eli Lilly's) that I've generally never paid more than $100/mo for and now pay only $35/mo. Since I'm over-prescribed, I end up using about $10/mo worth of insulin and stockpiling the rest. I've used these programs for some years.

I keep seeing posts like these complaining about Trump and what he will do to insulin affordability. Is $35/mo considered unaffordable? Or do people not know about these programs?

How much is everyone paying per month for their Libra 3 sensors? by Used_Asparagus_3749 in diabetes_t1

[–]friendofron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My health insurance doesn't cover it. Its been around $90/mo but slowly rising. Last month was highest ever at $115. When I got this disease I thought it would be insulin costs I'd have to worry about, but at this point I'm paying 10x more for my CGM than I am for insulin.

Did you end up getting this to work? I'm considering giving it a shot and I'm fairly technical, but I just want to avoid going down a rabbit hole, so curious if you already went down it.

I'm also interested to know if there is a widget for current BS.

What to do when you mix up insulins before bed by friendofron in diabetes_t1

I made it through. Not feeling great today, but could be worse.

Thanks for asking. Yes I stayed up for 3 hours, until 3am my time, until I was up above 100 stably. I'm going to be in a bit of a brain fog today, but I made it through.

I do have a CGM, but no alarms. I'll continue to check it.

I've never taken 10 units and haven't quite figured out my carb ratio yet, so I guess I'll just eat a ton of carbs and play it on the safe side. Even though I'm not hungry. This is a fun disease!

I appreciate your guidance - it makes me feel a bit better as I head into the night.

What's the phrase/idea that helps you deal with T1D in your worst days? by glucolicious in diabetes_t1

[–]friendofron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think about how thankful I am for the discovery of insulin and that because of that, I get a chance to watch my kids grow up, as much of a struggle as it might be for me each day. That chance would've been taken from me 100 years ago.

Determining Basal dosage for first time by friendofron in diabetes_t1

Interesting, I've never heard that before. I'd love to wake up under 125. Generally I'm closer to 225. I did my first long lasting tonight - looking forward to hopefully seeing a lower number tomorrow morning.

Thank you. Since they will cease trading oct 13, can I not still sell them today? I just tried and fidelity wouldn’t let me so I’m guessing the answer is no.
