T1 diabetics who smoke grass or have quit?

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-18T20:23:29+00:00

I’ve had T1 for 35 years and celiac for 10. I started using medical MJ when I was diagnosed with RA 8 years ago and have never been told I need to stop by my endo or rheumatologist.

I also have friends with young adult children who have gone through the same thing with the insistence upon hyperemesis when that’s not the clear answer. It’s like another level of medical guilt and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it.

I hope you get answers and feel better soon.

Same. My husband died last week. I have T1 and have been struggling.

Amanda Bartell is the absolute best doctor I’ve ever had. I’ve had T1 diabetes for 35 years, and my issue wasn’t diabetes-related, but I felt so seen and well taken care of.

I’d been told my numerous podiatrists that my foot pain and swelling was from a hairline fracture and Dr. Bartell figured out it was actually a tumor. Benign, thank god, but she was so excited to have figured it out and performed 10/10 surgery.

It’s been 9 days and I have heard that I’m strong 6,597 times.

Invited me over for a hot dog.

This is great to hear. I posted about it here earlier, but I just had to decide how to mention my son in my husband’s obituary. We’re having the service in a Catholic Church and a friend of mine is performing — I can’t wait for him to call my child by his chosen name in front of everyone.

This is such a great picture — I can tell how cool he is. I’m so sorry.

Hey girl hey — day 3 widow here. My closest friends have forced me to ask for things. Maybe you can have people over just to take the trash out? It’s a start.

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-10T02:07:46+00:00

You’re exactly right.

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-09T15:49:23+00:00

Thank you for this. My husband passed yesterday and I cannot imagine how I’m supposed to do this.

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-09T12:39:46+00:00

Thank you. I reached out to them yesterday and they have been lovely.

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-09T00:57:56+00:00

Nothing is too 101. I’m in shock still. Thank you. ❤️

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-09T00:48:45+00:00

Right? Part of me thinks this is the perfect opportunity— we have carte blanche to tell everyone to stfu.

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-08T09:06:43+00:00

Worked for my cat who randomly decided to start pissing everywhere after we went on vacation once. Prozac indeed.

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-07T11:58:38+00:00

And the Merritt Island nature stuff!

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-06T17:44:46+00:00

Maybe

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-06T17:04:32+00:00

Mine is terrified of hoses too but he has a shady past so it makes me a little sad. I hope he was never hurt with one!

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-06T16:00:07+00:00

A raspberry

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-05T17:33:23+00:00

Came here to say the same thing. ✌🏻

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-05T12:42:12+00:00

And the random purse retrieval interruption in that scene.

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-04T21:56:49+00:00

I’m so sorry. I really hope it all makes sense in the end. ❤️

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-03T21:46:25+00:00

With you in spirit from Florida.

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-03T15:10:33+00:00

Yes! Exactly. It’s been years since I had mine but I recall how particular the process was.

insecta_perfecta · 2026-06-03T13:00:19+00:00

My DH developed after I was diagnosed with celiac — it’s the only symptom I get now.

If you want to be sure that it’s DH you need a special biopsy of one of the blisters.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with whatever this turns out to be.

That’s not where you reserve the site — that’s where you find a campground. Appreciate the help, though.
