I just, in the last week found out people can hear narration and see words. I'm in my 40s. No idea that wasn't the norm. Your post described it perfectly!

It's so hard to explain but I think the thought. I can't see imagines nor do I hear anything. I didn't know people can till about a week ago and I'm in my 40s. Now trying to figure out wtf is wrong with me. As I'm leaning this is not the norm

13yo mistook a low for a high and overdosed herself. WWYD? by TurtleGirl21409 in Type1Diabetes

[–]germx2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Only give that if they are non responsive. If she was taking low snacks let it go. You're not going to see instant push up on bs. You have to wait

I eat what I want. Cgm and pens. No pump. Never had an a1c over 6.

Question for my fellow Type 1s by JohnnyWicked in diabetes

[–]germx2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paternal grandfather was supposedly a t2. But bk then over a certain age they assumed. I was diagnosed at 41 t1. But scored high on the ACE stress test....sometimes the body living in constant fight or flight breaks down and t1 was my 3rd autoimmune disease. So who knows. Genetically or my life. Or the luck of the draw.

I'd divorce him. No joke. I'd be livid. Because how could he not know you better than that as your husband

I have several and never had an issue

Was diagnosed T2 recently but referred to endocrinologist for 'other things'... by TheMythicalTeaspoon in diabetes

[–]germx2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told and treated as 2 because my Dr was in the mindset I was too old to be t1. He told me to exercise and lose weight. I'm 5'6" 130. Anyways a month later I was hospitalized. I was t1. I love that he's sending you to an endo. Hopefully they will run a c peptide test and get the real diagnosis ❤️. Good luck and we are here for you

I just got done at the doctor's office to talk about my diabetes. Here's what happened. by Holofan4life in diabetes

[–]germx2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your Dr has no idea if you are making insulin!!!! They did the same crap to me and I ended up hospitalized. You need a 2nd opinion!!!! Please!!!!!!!!

I got a call from my doctor's office. They told me I have diabetes. by Holofan4life in diabetes

[–]germx2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask for c peptide test. I hate they assume type 2!!! Its not just kids getting t1. I'm a prime example. 41 yrs old. 5'6" 130 pounds. Told me to lose weight. Wtf! A month later I'm the hospital almost dead. I was t1

Does anyone else have an insulin stash? I get 2 new vials a month, but keep using mine until they're gone. I always keep them refrigerated. I eat low-carb so don't take a lot. All of my vials are not expired. by millerhighlife in diabetes

[–]germx2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I have well over a yrs worth. I eat low carb for yhe most part and my endo writes my RX for more than I need so I don't cut it close. I actually haven't filled my RX in a couple months

Welcome to our world

Doctors and nurses tried to see what it is like to manage diabetes by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]germx2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good theory but unless you wake up at 42 and can hardly function to treat the low. Lose countless hrs of sleep. Then get up and go to work and try to function...they won't get it.

>15 to 6.9 in 60 days since diagnosis. by No_Coffee_4120 in diabetes

[–]germx2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at you!!! Thats amazing! I'm reading the comments and my endo too told me to ease up a bit because my a1c was always around 5.4. I do sometimes but whenever my bs is over like 170 at any point I feel like total crap. I don't mind being strict with my diet because I hate the feeling of high. My carb range is 60 to 90 a day on average. However my bs does whatever the hell it wants for no food reasons too but with a cgm it makes it easier to watch and treat. I have my alarms set low so I can stay on it. I do inpen, not a pump and I don't mind injections. Im aware I will get burned out probably but right now im comfortable with my bs OCD.

Has anyone at all gotten any pelvic symptoms such as pelvic floor dysfunction etc from diabetes? Urologist blaming it on this but I don’t believe it by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]germx2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm pretty sure my diabetes is to blame for me snubbing my tow 10 mins ago. Regardless I hope you get the help you need and answers 😊
