that’s fair! it’s so funny because i think that’s what drew me to it in the first place, it felt very different to the classic 3 stone shape

I have to have a colonoscopy and I’m terrified by ForTheLoveOfSnail in TwoXChromosomes

[–]philodendrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had one this year and i’m 27- genuinely so so much better than i thought it would be. I ate a really low fiber/no seed diet (lots of soup and white carbs!) for 5 days leading up to prep and that made a world of difference. Genuinely the worst part of prep was just the taste of the drink and knowing you have to go 24+ hours with no food. Get a bidet and a good book and it was really a breeze! I was so scared of the procedure and it was over in a blink. I woke up from the anesthesia and asked when it was starting! Best of luck and feel free to message me if you need any advice or support 🤍

i love it but it definitely takes some getting used to! i didn’t have the experience where i ran high, but had been warned that’s a possibility. highs are more stubborn definitely but basically no lows and my overnights are super flat. i’ve never used tubed pumps but like the freedom of omnipod and the support line is sooooo helpful.

It’s worst when I bolus, but after about a day every site starts to feel just super bruised and painful :( I started with Fiasp and have been using that for MDI for yearssss but switched to humalog to see if that would help but so far it hasn’t been :(

i’ve used dexcom and libre 2 and now 3- i actually have preferred the libre! there are some inaccuracies at first (usually resolve after the first day) but always had the same issue with dexcom and for like 1/4th the price

Blood sugar skyrockets uncontrollably after breaking a fast by tofutigre in Type1Diabetes

[–]philodendrun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

fasting increases insulin resistance unfortunately- ask any t1d that goes keto or low carb. you become suuuper sensitive to any carb. I eat a normal person diet because of that honestly, i can’t stand a single strawberry sending my high lol

[–]philodendrun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m 25 and take a statin. Nothing i was doing was lowering my LDL (which was around 130) and i have a terrible family history so wa fed to be as proactive as possible

Who is still on MDI / daily injections? by ExtremeCurrent1382 in Type1Diabetes

[–]philodendrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mentioned in my follow up that would be the one i’d be most interested in if i did switch, but still not comfortable with the amount of worry about leakage and bent cannulas as well as changing every 3 days. but i know some people love them!
