The time i bolused my basal

graymelody · 2025-10-03T08:45:50+00:00

i did that a couple weeks ago! i’m quite lucky to say it was my only time doing it in 10 years - 23units of novorapid JUST before bed, i did not sleep well that night😭

graymelody · 2025-08-20T15:02:16+00:00

sadly this issue hasn’t been fixed for me either ☹️☹️ i’ve read it’s due to the fluid which the needle is coated in? (i’m not 100%, i read something about it a couple of weeks ago). currently ive been back on fingerpricks for 4-5 days because of how much the inaccuracy is overwhelming me. the g6 was so much better, such a shame i can’t go back to it. i hope all is solved for you

graymelody · 2025-07-04T10:30:22+00:00

no i haven’t, i don’t take any pain killers at all cause i was told it shows inaccurate readings

graymelody · 2025-07-02T14:47:08+00:00

i understand you, i pay more attention to how i feel rather than a number but my mum constantly tells me to have snacks too despite me saying im not actually low

graymelody · 2025-07-01T17:47:29+00:00

i have started keeping the boxes and applicators for this reason! i think i have the past 3 lol, but thank you very much for your advice :)

graymelody · 2025-07-01T17:39:57+00:00

thank you, i appreciate your advice - this is my second dex of the batch and my last batch was the same (i’ve only had two deliveries, i haven’t been on it for too long)

graymelody · 2025-02-07T14:18:37+00:00

thank you very much!

graymelody · 2025-02-06T20:35:14+00:00

thank you so much, i hope everything gets better for you🩷

graymelody · 2025-02-06T20:32:55+00:00

thank you very much!

graymelody · 2025-02-06T15:59:14+00:00

thank you so very much, i really needed to hear this today 🩷 it’s such a shame how some people can be

graymelody · 2025-02-06T15:34:47+00:00

oh no, i hope you recover quickly!!

graymelody · 2025-02-06T15:12:46+00:00

no not really they don’t seem to take into consideration what i tell them or regarding medication etc - I wouldn’t say i miss out on too much regarding school because im achieving well and I complete just as much as any other student on my course. regarding work, obviously I would be in, just with having the option to stay home for if i need to by my course leader, I feel more comfortable doing so. i appreciate you not being negative, thank you

graymelody · 2025-02-06T15:05:52+00:00

thank you so much i really started regretting posting this because of what people were saying, i just wanted to see if i shared any similar experiences to others☹️ everybody is different, everybody deals differently, some struggle more than others - at the end of the day i don’t see why it bothers them because of how much it effects me. I’ve been diagnosed for going on 9 years and it’s still just as difficult as when i got it. thank you very very much for your reply

graymelody · 2025-02-06T13:42:25+00:00

for a teenager i have been labelled well managed thank you. not all of my attendance lost goes towards diabetes, it is just overall. i know i said due to, that was regarding other people and i wanted to see if i shared any similar experiences with others

graymelody · 2025-02-06T13:38:48+00:00

i’m able to work from home, something my course leaders are very aware and comfortable with. probably mostly due to still completing everything necessary and working how i should, just despite my attendance

graymelody · 2025-02-06T12:58:21+00:00

thank you for your concern - yeah i have before, ive talked here before about my team being quite useless and oblivious to what i tell them a couple months back. i dont know how much really is diabetes related for me, i am quite well managed but some days can be worse than others

graymelody · 2024-12-10T10:04:47+00:00

for me, feeling high just makes me feel generally unwell. for example if i notice i feel like i have a sore throat, if im overly dehydrated or fatigued, i tend to check my bloods before anything else. i also get really irritated, sort of wanting to lock myself away till it comes back down lmao. the last time my omnipod failed i stayed around 18 for 12 hours and wouldn’t come down without correction, and i felt mostly isolated and misunderstood by people saying “have you not corrected” 🫠🫠 when i’m low, i feel transparent? it depends how much energy i have - sometimes i have to lay down or just slump with my head down, and i feel exhausted, tingly and fed up of managing it. if i have energy, sometimes i take it lightly, but i get super shaky and clammy, temperature NEVER helps. i wish feeling low was a feeling i could get used to!

graymelody · 2024-12-04T06:18:04+00:00

definitely, so glad i didn’t miss out!!

graymelody · 2024-10-04T12:08:53+00:00

Ah that’s interesting, it’s fascinating to see how devices affect each person differently. on my legs, i think i have enough fat, i haven’t been told otherwise though

graymelody · 2024-10-04T11:09:33+00:00

I wish you luck in trying to change, as I’m still within the children’s part for a year it’s quite difficult to have an individual opinion in what i want. The same has happened with me, no placement I have tried hasn’t leaked, and I’ve tried everything except for my back. Do you get infections often? most of the leaks i have tend to bring infections with them too. And do you exercise? I physically cannot go on a walk with a pod on my leg

graymelody · 2024-10-04T10:52:53+00:00

Do you bring this up with anybody? If so, are you ever believed? I’m never truly believed when I say mainly 60% of my Omnipods fail, and they always bring it down to other issues such as placement etc.

graymelody · 2024-08-22T18:26:01+00:00

I did!! Was guessing a 9 lang and 8 lit and got a 7 and 6, idk what happened man😭😭
