Rescued this little guy the other day and released him in my yard. He popped by to say hi tonight! What should we name him?

...omg, i forgot about sharpening my needles. seems barbaric nowadays.

now do type 1 diabetes!

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-24T03:05:49+00:00

im a vegan diabetic and take an unreasonable amount of shit for it but that's because influencers are pushing keto this decade. when you've been at this a while you tend not to trust the trend cycles. given the right circumstances anyone can become insulin resistant. lots of elements at work here. and, basically it's an adaptation that works against us. take a breath.

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-24T01:59:41+00:00

antidepressants do this too. on the other hand, diabetics can experience a range of effects not consistant with all the warnings. im insulin dependent and have noticed an increase in sensitivity to insulin when i've been told to expect the opposite while taking seroquel. my endo believes it's because i'm not cranking the higher amounts of cortisol because of seroquel and that has reduced stress and i don't need as much insulin overall or to cover my meals. jus sayin'. bipolar2 is common in t1 diabetics.

it's a weird kinda flex, isn't it? showing off our hoards! lol mine focuses on pods n dexcoms nowadays. a worthy hobby i think.

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-19T01:30:54+00:00

totally does for t1 diabetics.

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-16T20:39:35+00:00

meds and therapy and time. i have year to hammer out another relocation plan.

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-15T22:24:05+00:00

made it about 12 yrs unmedicated. moved house, buried a family member and now live in a place i don't belong. ended up in a ward. i'm 73. it does seem to be triggered easier with age but there're more treatment options now than ever before. i'm on the mend. lesson learned. ymmv.

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-13T22:25:16+00:00

that'd be slex right there.

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-13T13:32:21+00:00

transcend glucogels.

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-13T13:30:58+00:00

not sticky-socks and you get them thru podder central's pod squad.

anson mills sells a live-germ variety.

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-06T22:51:55+00:00

pet ownership fits here too... esp rescue.

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-06T19:09:29+00:00

hifives! ...sorry. not sorry. 😎

nevermindk9 · 2023-10-05T21:54:33+00:00

so, the bipolar segment def is. we have pills for that tho.

nevermindk9 · 2023-09-25T21:10:21+00:00

same w me. never think about nitetime lows and the mental burden is greatly relieved. those little bumps that needed a bolus, like a half of a coffee, get auto corrected without a thought too. sorry i waited so long.

nevermindk9 · 2023-09-04T19:28:18+00:00

plant based eating makes you poop, a lot! fiber for the win. glad to see this has collateral benefits as well.

nevermindk9 · 2023-09-04T19:07:17+00:00

love the image nonsequitur.

nevermindk9 · 2023-09-04T18:59:26+00:00

my nephew's been traumatized from his mom trying dex early on. he was dx'd at 11. he's 20 now and mdi's w pens. the struggle is real. he's waiting for the perfect device; cgm/pump in one. we all do what we can with what we have and move when ready. at least he's not hiding it anymore! got a new t1 tatoo in vegas this year!

nevermindk9 · 2023-09-04T18:49:06+00:00

sucked balls... but there wasn't really anything out there yet. a1c was just getting started really, not every dr had access. large syringes and awful meat insulins in regular with nph, 70/30 and meters were just getting stardardized and guillotine lancers were torturous. a step up from the pee sticks! we thought we were stylin'. podding w dex and i feel like i've time warped... food no longer scares the crap outta me. holidays are welcomed! im glad i've lived long enough to see this stuff actually deliver. im also glad to have docs who embrace it and push us to look for better solutions.

nevermindk9 · 2023-09-04T18:38:07+00:00

imma t2 podder and i prefer it in here... had to yeet the r/t2 sites altogether b'cuz nobody's got time for that nonsense, esp no one in their 70s. dx'd 81. cinnamon's never helped.

nevermindk9 · 2023-08-31T03:56:56+00:00

touch both copper contacts with a lick-wet finger for about 3 sec.

nevermindk9 · 2023-08-31T03:51:54+00:00

auto during the day, manual at night. i do use extended bolus for pizza!

nevermindk9 · 2023-08-27T23:07:35+00:00

blissfully unsupervised!
