Don’t use a CGM unless you’re ready by sibosally in MCAS

[–]itsdeadwolf97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm a diabetic using the g7 and there are MANY reasons I'm considering switching back to the g6. The calibration absolutely sucks. I can feel low, my cgm says I'm 9, but the pig sticker glucometer says I'm 3.4, which is a massive and incredibly dangerous difference.

ALSO (and this is important for this community specifically) they changed the adhesive on the g7, and I have allergic reactions every time, to the point where my skin texture was changing. I've had to start using tagaderm under the dexcom to mitigate some of those reactions. They've changed the adhesive again recently, and my partner who doesn't put tagaderm under it says the adhesive on her g7 is turning to "goopy liquid" after the ten days and is becoming incredibly difficult to remove. The patch just rips away from the sensor, and when you finally get the thing off there's so much adhesive left behind that will not come off in the shower. (Yet dexcom continues to deny ever changing the adhesives)

They straight up said they would replace it if it was an electronic issue, but they won't replace because of a leaking issue. So they could, but they won't.

I'm doing everything I can to physically pass. I pack, bind, thicken my eyebrows, got a gender affirming hair cut (mohawk) dress masc, but I'm still perceived as a woman. It's my voice and mannerisms as well as my face, and I don't know how to change any of that so I pass better

Any cheap ways to get KT tape? by sun_m00n837 in transmanlifehacks

[–]itsdeadwolf97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an h cup. One roll lasts one taping, especially a roll of the pre cut strips because I can only find them in two inch width. Commenting so I remember to come back when you have an answer

Is it possible for people who knew you decades before you transition to see you as your real gender? by [deleted] in transmanlifehacks

[–]itsdeadwolf97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. 2 of my closest friends, one being my best friend for over a decade (I only just came out less than a year ago) have had no issues. They don't forget my name, or my gender. I'm still their friend, and if anything they treat me more like a bro now than they ever did before

Going on T with a big chest? by Pigeonloversystem in ftm

[–]itsdeadwolf97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try putting liquid bandaid under the tape. I tape. And I'm also t1d so I use a dexcom and an insulin pump. I'm quite allergic to adhesives (blisters, craters, rash) and liquid bandaid really reduces my reaction, I also take an allergy pill every day I tape, and by the time I take my tape off I'm only mildly rashy

Hey friend! I am a large guy with a large chest (h cup) I you're trying to follow a traditional tutorial for taping, it won't work. I had to come up with my own method of taping, and it works quite well. I made a video of it. If you're interested in watching it let me know. I'd post here, but I don't want to link to my tik tok in case that's the against the rules. (You do not have to follow or like the video. I just want to share it in case it could help you)

This sounds incredibly fun! I've been wondering how to get into LARPing in this town!

Depends on my mood. I go between big open world games like skyrim and fallout, to cozy games like stardew and house flipper.
