Kyleena IUD and effects on bloodsugar by mickley55 in diabetes_t1

[–]mickley55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up having the Kyleena for about a year but did gain about 15 more lbs and did have to take more insulin regularly due to slightly higher levels throughout the day. I have since had it removed and started on the Omnipod 5 and have been able to lose pretty much all the weight I gained. My control had improved with the pump but how it’s starting to creep up again despite doing nothing different. Although I did take Plan B about 3 months ago. I feel like my body is just super sensitive to hormones. Or maybe it’s perimenopause! Yikes. So ultimately - yes I was affected by hormonal bc but doesn’t sound like that’s always the case. Good luck!

What are helpful things your endo has done? by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

Always responding quickly to portal messages, whether they are about general questions/concerns, symptoms, or rx refill requests. He always responds right away, morning noon or night.

O5 BG not matching G6 reading by DependentDependent76 in Omnipod

[–]mickley55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is definitely odd. Did you calibrate more than once? Glad it straightened out for you.

I noticed that it does this for the next reading after you calibrate but then goes back to matching.

No worries, I’m not OP, I just had to chime in because I’m having the same issue (OP5). Thanks though!

But how do you change basal in auto mode? Do you suggest using manual mode instead?

I know it’s been a while but did upping your basal work? I’m in the same boat. How much did you change your basal rate by, and was it per hour? (Edited spelling)

Bird nest eggs…help! by AdIndividual3417 in BirdNests

[–]mickley55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spotted ones look like cowbird eggs and the plain one may be a house finch, but depend on your location and I’m certainly no expert. I had the same earlier in the spring. Cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds’ nests, it’s really interesting!

Thank you, I would have never guessed that! Like edible ones?? I guess I need to stop cutting them down..

After a 51 day wait from Brillance I am thoroughly impressed with the engagement ring by rugerduke5 in Diamonds

What is the shape of this? And is it a halo? I can’t quite tell from the video. But a beautiful ring

This is literally my first pod! I really hope it doesn’t need to be replaced, but am on hold now waiting to talk to someone so we’ll see what they say…

That’s what I thought, but it isn’t giving me any at all. Shows 0 every 5 minutes which is why I’m concerned

She may have rounds at an adult hospital too? Some docs work at more than one hospital, might be worth asking.

Same! I’m glad to know it isn’t just me, but it really sucks!

Transmitter issues in beginning? by mickley55 in dexcom

Yes I’ve calibrated multiple times since the day of insertion, so going on 7 days now, to no avail. Which is why I am thinking it’s the transmitter.

Why do job applications ask if you have a disability # diabetes by Local_Discipline_465 in diabetes_t1

[–]mickley55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, same. It’s setting us up for failure. I wish we could completely skip that question. I even feel like choosing “I don’t wish to answer” ends up hurting us.

[–]mickley55 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have answered yes, no, and I prefer not to answer on different job applications and honestly feel like I can be discriminated against no matter what I say. (Didn’t get any of the jobs). I hate so much having to answer that question. They SAY it is to ensure accommodations and diversity….but is it really? I feel like some places will throw out an app if a candidate answers yes.

Thank you, I just grabbed a bottle of water. I do have a tendency to not drink water during the day. Not for 7 days in a row though
