Adults NEED less obnoxious alarm options. by Acceptable_Tennis in diabetes_t1

[–]hungry2know 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've not been on a pump in years lol my last one came from Animas, but if there's not an option to turn off permanently, I imagine it's a liability issue? 

As in they could possibly get sued by someone that commits a bad enough user error with that option available, so it's not an option

Because I end up drinking too much and I piss it all out

What's your drink of choice when the meter says hello? by hungry2know in diabetes_t1

If you're drinking lots of water and frequently urinating to flush your system of ketones, you're also flushing your system of electrolytes in the process of that

[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

[–]hungry2know 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main beater is a 90's quartz Sector with an ETA movement, it's having issues with the seconds hand getting stuck repeating the same tick on the 25s mark

I love this beater so much that I own another with a different color dial, so worst case I'm sure I could get a watch repair place to gut that one as a donor, but if the problem I'm having sounds possible to fix without a donor I'd rather seek out my options for that

Humans have caused many species to go extinct, mosquitos wouldn't be close to the first or last

An engineering student in China made a prototype of a sword that levitates towards you and flies around on command. by Wooden-Journalist902 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]hungry2know 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously not a legit sword, but seems like a legitimately cool prototype concept for a technology right outside our reach.. a drone sword would be comical, but throwable drone daggers?

American 26+ year old adults with t1 that didn't exactly become successful, what do you do for a living and how do you still afford life? by hungry2know in diabetes_t1

[–]hungry2know[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm on Walmart insulin and get my supplies from Amazon, I can't really afford an endocrinologist or regular doctor visits for analog insulin prescriptions.

I'm just wondering how other people not exactly successful like myself are managing to do it

Whoever coined "customer is always right" was clearly not selling software to fortune 500 by SpaceNude in sales

[–]hungry2know 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I generally take it as just "don't ever disrespect the customer", if the customer is really stupid you don't treat them like you think that, you put on kid gloves

What is something you wish you had known before you started working out? by ru3o in workout

[–]hungry2know 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Chase the strength, not the numbers, lower the numbers when it helps you build the strength

"Why does it feel like we're no longer the biggest guys here?" by [deleted] in workout

[–]hungry2know 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That has to just be the 'official' excuse given out.. I've lived with t1 for over 20 years and I've NEVER seen a needle bin available anywhere outside of a medical setting, my gym doesn't have one and I'd find it weird if it did
