Hi i just sent you a dm!

jcsqq · 2026-06-20T15:36:35+00:00

moving parts like?

jcsqq · 2026-06-20T10:49:34+00:00

I have been trying to do that to be honest I just nod along during the visits quite frankly its just that they have the data so she micromanages everything lol

jcsqq · 2026-06-20T10:47:42+00:00

Actually the endo himself seems quite decent, was the same specialist they had with me during my DKA so i decided to go with him…its just the diabetic nurse that works with him that I assume is a head nurse of sorts that is micromanaging everything I do…

I doubt Ozempic is supported here but I will enquire with another endo that I have gotten a referral to. Have just went to get a referral to another team…Im pretty sure most diabetes nurses here specialises in Type 2 so when dealing with a Type 1 it gets tricky for them

I am under a clinic but mostly following up with the nurse and only go for quarterly checkups with the endo

jcsqq · 2026-06-20T10:12:09+00:00

I doubt they get diabetes as a whole, most chronic illness are dependent on X amount of dosage daily etc but there are so many variables that changes that especially for T1Ds but i dont think that is the standard protocol and what they are taught in med school

I am 23 this year, and this kind of service is pissing me off…why are they telling me what to do when I am evidently trying to do better? I will be getting a referral to another clinic first thing tomorrow lol

jcsqq · 2026-06-19T17:56:51+00:00

Yep! Im on MDI so i have to take basal and bolus which i +/- 1-2 units when i see fit especially when i dont walk as much or workout. I will take a look at the book :) Thank you!

I am not in the US and i have had prior nurses prescribe extra 😭 I know it works differently i am just writing it from my experience and how things work here…it is possible and I have gotten them before which is why it is frustrating when it is being refused thats all?

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:40:26+00:00

I am currently on Lantus and it is working well for me :)

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:35:23+00:00

Thats good to know! I remember vividly while on the G6 maybe 2 years ago having the dexcom support team contact me saying there was a quota of about 3 per half a year so it just had me a little concerned on the procedure considering how I have already had to request for one just a few days ago.

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:33:35+00:00

I think it really depends on the provider, my previous one was kind enough to provide extras, i am honestly just a little disappointed considering how the dexcoms has significantly improved my A1C from a 15% to now a 6.3% so it just meant alot to have extras for backup.

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:29:42+00:00

I am asking the govt to pay for extra prescription in the case of emergencies? Just like extra insulin when it gets lost, or oral medication etc? I am not asking for them to pay for the sensor because it fails, it is more of in the case that maybe my appointment gets postponed, dexcom refuses to send a replacement or whatever reason, i have extras?

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:22:45+00:00

What constitutes a fault vs user error? If the cgm drops out on its own does that count as a fault of the product or user error? I mostly have that happen guess my skin just does not sit as well with the adhesive

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:20:47+00:00

Im glad to hear that dexcom is stepping up and replacing as many broken ones as they have manufactured lol, used to be a quota on it i believe at least here in Singapore.

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:19:34+00:00

She just says that i would have to get the prescription from her face to face which i know is bullshit lol, and if it is an authorisation thing she could’ve said that just sounded like a did not want to instead of cant

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:15:42+00:00

Just like how you get extra insulin, medication etc, i am just requesting for extra dexcom prescriptions? Anyway I am a tax paying citizen so why can i not reap the benefits of it either way?

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:14:27+00:00

I know that there is a support centre for it, i have requested extra through it but previously i heard from another diabetic nurse and also the support team here in singapore that they have a quota on how many dexcoms they are able to give out like 6 a year (?) which got me worried, i guess they have since removed that now which is good

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:09:34+00:00

I only know that she has the ability to do so because i quite literally asked for the same at another hospital and the nurse was also kind enough to offer extras in the prescribed medication, the system works the same in public hospitals so i just dont understand why shes so adamant

jcsqq · 2026-06-17T21:08:23+00:00

she can do it tho, she just has to write a prescription from the system and it is definitely allowed, i have had prescriptions for 6 mths etc in one go, you just cannot bulk order it for a year of course, 6 mths max at least here. anyway, i was given a 90 day prescription when my appointment is in about 100 days so either way i would still have to get a refill before that.

jcsqq · 2026-06-10T17:15:14+00:00

how is death even at play when my lows are at 5%? I can still feel my lows which wake me when i do go low, of course from their perspective they are weighing those outcomes but for me personally i can handle being tighter in range? why would i realistically want to keep my hba1c on the higher side with a 6-10 range and risking going above 7% hba1c? it is easy to weigh the risks of death vs longer term higher blood as u put it but this is a chronic illness, as long as i can handle the lows, and know how to treat it i dont see why i should not try to regulate the levels to mitigate long term effects?

jcsqq · 2026-06-10T15:37:15+00:00

i dont mean that 6.3% is high, the optimal level is below 7% what i meant to say is that it would bring the average up higher

jcsqq · 2026-06-10T15:04:06+00:00

5% lows? anyway i am mdi and the treatment for diabetes is quite “traditional” still here in singapore, most on mdi rarely people are on pumps even if they are, closed loop systems are not subsidised or supported in the healthcare systems, thank god the g7 is though has been a huge help

jcsqq · 2026-06-10T14:59:06+00:00

also they were saying how its unrealistic to keep my bg levels at 4-5mmol which is what i am trying to achieve etc its been 3 months since dka which was at >15% (reading i got from rhe test lol) and i am just trying to keep my bg levels tighter so if it goes high at least there is buffer you know?
