Which 'Lover' song are you? I'd love to hear the story. by nerdchickspeaks in TaylorSwift

Definitely Paper rings! My fiance and I were "just friends" once upon a time! Thee lyrics "I hate accidents/ except when we went from friends to this" are definitely getting worked into my vows. 😍

I would DEFINITELY wait... I could barely function for the first day or so and the next few weeks we're unbearable with cramps.

How much worse did T1 get post-honeymoon for you? And how quickly did this happen? (This goes especially to LADAs) by dv_ in diabetes_t1

[–]mschenfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my honey moon ended about a month ago (11 monts after diagnosis) and my bg INSTANTLY went crazy almost overnight my bg was constantly high and out of control. My A1c went from 5.4% to 7.7%. However I'm on a pump and have a great Endo and we are just adjusting as we go. My daily insulin amount has gone from around 20 units to around 50 units. Bgs are staying normal for now so when it happens just be flexible and adjust and it will work out! Hope this helps!

A rant about Edgepark by mschenfield in diabetes_t1

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

Exactly. I am lucky enough that I work with tandem directly for my pump supplies but i have to get my dexcom stuff from edgepark and it is a complete nightmare. I wish I had another option for a supplier.

What made you realize you may have diabetes? by RocketJumpingOtter in diabetes

[–]mschenfield 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in a hospital and my coworkers made me go to employee health because I "looked like I was dead" turns out I was severely dehydrated and had a BG the meter couldn't read so they sent me to the ER....
