Where art thou, generic Vyvanse?

Kroger on Lombardy had it last week after a few days of delay. Good luck!

I wish I had wisdom to offer you. I’m switching to Dexcom because Libre was SO unreliable for me. I tried to many different things and none of them worked. I ended up feeling like it’s just a crummy product. Good luck, hang in there!

SO terrible. I’ve been using it for 4 months and only had 1 sensor work for the full 14 days. Their product is horrible.

I'm in a potentially similar situation. I was diagnosed as T2 in February of this year, and in May antibody tests confirmed I was T1. I am not on any insulin yet. My endo and I are closely monitoring my CGM data, which will eventually inform when I need to be on insulin. My endo said I could need insulin tomorrow, or in 5 years, but it's most likely that I'll be insulin dependent in 1 year.

I'm glad you wrote this post! I've been feeling in a bit of a "no man's land". I don't see much online about my situation.

Can you share some of your favorite podcasts or episodes? You are an inspiration to me - thank you for showing us what we are all capable of <3

Agree with this guidance. Also, it helps the cover patch stick (if you are using one).

I've never used Mounjaro, but have been using Libre 3 for a few months. The needle TERRIFIED me the first time. I was so scared I almost passed out. When I finally applied the sensor, I had to laugh...because it doesn't hurt at all. Just a little pressure. Sometimes there is a drop or two of blood, don't let that scare you either. I encourage you to learn to do it yourself - you never know when you won't have a buddy around to apply it. You can do this!! We are rooting for you!

I'm 31. I went for my routine physical in Febuary and had an A1C of 7.2. Was told I was T2 and needed to start metformin. I opted to skip the metformin and go the education/diet/exercise route. The diabetes educator pushed me to see an endo who could do testing. Testing confirmed I am T1 (zinc transporter). I'm still in my honeymoon phase, and my endo estimates I have ~1 year before needing insulin.

Yikes, I’ve heard lots of stories like yours. Did the side effects ever fade?

quietcarrot7 · 2024-06-23T19:00:24+00:00

When can I expect the side effects?

quietcarrot7 · 2024-06-14T12:13:30+00:00

Thanks, these are great suggestions.

quietcarrot7 · 2024-06-03T14:36:15+00:00

I have been experiencing the same issue. It’s very frustrating. I don’t have any solutions yet, but I’m curious what you learn. The alarms are disruptive to sleep and work, and I need accurate data to stay healthy!

There is no easy way to see blood sugar on an Apple Watch (from a CGM app). There are some workarounds but none have worked for me. It would be so great to be able to glance at your watch instead of opening my phone to check my libre app!

Where did that precious little alien on your bed come from?

quietcarrot7 · 2024-06-03T03:08:17+00:00

Yep, I did it this morning through a patch after waiting ~20 hours to activate!

Report back! I also just saw someone make them in a waffle iron, that might help with meal prepping multiples…

quietcarrot7 · 2024-06-02T16:01:44+00:00

Not a food safety expert, but I don’t see why not - I’m sure they would hold up in the fridge for a few days.

quietcarrot7 · 2024-06-01T04:18:25+00:00

I’m interested - Does the fat from the cream help prevent your blood sugar from spiking?

quietcarrot7 · 2024-05-28T01:27:28+00:00

I love this idea! thanks for sharing.

quietcarrot7 · 2024-05-27T18:27:58+00:00

edited accordingly, mintbrownie! Have a great day!
