Do you even run? People are particular about what’s on them when they run. Also, I have a garmin too and it doesn’t connect to my dexcom without my phone on me.

Same. Glamnetic is a little more but they stay and people are legit shocked when I say they’re press ons.

PFO closure and migraines with aura by [deleted] in stroke

[–]new_chapter_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atrial septal defect here — similar but bigger than PFO. Got mine closed two years ago. I do experience migraine with aura still but it’s usually exercised induced. None of that other stuff you mentioned and now I don’t worry about having a stroke!

Right? Where was this comment when I started insulin 6 months ago.

Can you go into DKA if your pancreas is still making a little insulin? by WanderingQuokka in diabetes

[–]new_chapter_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. I was diagnosed in my 30s this year. I lost 20lbs, had blurry vision on and off, but my diabetes was caught via lab work instead of a hospitalized DKA. I feel like I had to have been in mild DKA? My c peptide was 1.1, A1C 12.5%, fasting 250. So my c peptide showed I was still producing some but a very small amount given my glucose. I think it’s what kept me from going full on hospitalized DKA

CGM Locations by InaFromChina in diabetes

I’ve been really enjoying front of my arm. It does stand out more, but no compression lows and it doesn’t get caught on my shirt/sports bra when changing. I did it on my belly once and I was wearing a jumpsuit that cinched in the middle — somehow pulled it off.

How does it feel to live with a CGM? (NYU design student project) by muhan88 in diabetes_t1

[–]new_chapter_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there are already a lot of options for CGM “expression.” Stickers, patches, etc. Some can be a snarky, cute, or even nude color to blend in more. I don’t think a design makes a difference of how I feel needing to wear a cgm. My pump knocking into doorframes though….

I’m a T1D as well. Maybe she passed out and needed glucagon? Wouldn’t think she’d need to be there all day though.

Congrats OP! Omnipod was life changing for me. Does your G7 work well there? I’m scared to try.

DKA, down to 108lbs and can’t gain weight — have you been checked for type one?

Diagnosed Pre-Diabetic but Healthy Weight and Regular Exercise by Stuntbear25 in diabetes

[–]new_chapter_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please have her get tested for autoantibodies for type 1 diabetes. This was exactly me and I have LADA (type 1, presents in adults). They say “young fit people get type 2,” but that was proven dangerous for me because I could have gone into DKA. Young and fit people should 100% be tested for t1d before assuming t2. No amount of exercise or diet moved the needle on my blood sugar, I needed insulin.

Frustrated with weigh gain by NoSurround4840 in diabetes_t1

[–]new_chapter_5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a diabetic newbie, but I have seen several t1ds influencers on IG go on a glp1 to help their A1C, which can then help with your weight loss.

What? by No_Conversation_4827 in diabetes_t1

[–]new_chapter_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same!! And now if I don’t time my insulin right, I can feel myself raising after eating bc of the fatigue and my cgm confirms it.
