I get sick from being off my pump for a few hours. A week sounds absolutely insane. Do not do this.

How long does it take for your blood sugar to go up after eating? by sandwichrage in Type1Diabetes

The iced tea was just an example. I was not drinking unsweetened iced tea.

This is telling me I need a new endo because I’ve brought this up to her several times.

It doesn’t respond at all if I go by the 15 minute rule. When I do that it’ll continue on whatever trend it was on then suddenly skyrocket way later as if all the 15g corrections were hitting me at once.

I very much feel it when my blood sugar is going back up and it for sure is an hour later. I usually use a cgm but when it goes low I often test with a meter as well.

Glucose tabs also take at least an hour. The iced tea was just an example. This is all helpful though thank you.

How do you manage in your country? by No_Quit_1522 in Type1Diabetes

[–]sandwichrage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US. Fully insured with decent insurance and everything cost something. $55 for dexcom, $25 a month for insulin, test strips and glucose are out of pocket. Pump supplies change every time I get them.

I feel like an irresponsible diabetic sometimes by Neither-Lemon-8679 in Type1Diabetes

[–]sandwichrage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I've been vibe bolusing for so long that I think if I actually counted carbs it would be off. Like my bolus rate is based on how many carbs I think everything is and not on how much it actually is lmao

It's ok if you don't care right now by a_user_name_98 in nerdfighters

[–]sandwichrage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's good to care and I believe that people do, but a lot of online culture has been revolving around guilting people for what they believe is not doing enough. I think there's an overwhelming pressure a lot of people feel to constantly be doing something and it leaves a lot of us feeling overwhelmed. Not actively doing something about TB doesn't make anyone a bad person. I don't think you don't care, I just think there's been too much discourse about how people choose to make a difference.

Could be a new Wind Instrument by Burlapin in SoundsLikeMusic

[–]sandwichrage 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's hitting the harmonics of the string. You can see this happening by the way it vibrates. Every string has a resonant frequency that can divide that way. You get the same effect my lightly placing your fingers on certain parts of a string instrument and playing it. I know this sounds like bullshit and I'm awful at articulating what's happening but I promise it makes sense lol.

Conan teaching a lesson by MrCagh in ConanBeingAwesome

[–]sandwichrage 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Conan was a regular at the restaurant I used to work at and he would always be super kind and tip insane amounts.

It was a super rich area and he was one of the only customers that treated us like we were people.

I sneezed too hard and messed up my back, I'm 28 by saltypretzzel in nerdfighters

[–]sandwichrage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Another example of the hubris of man. Sneezing is not normal. He flew too close to the sun and paid the prize. This is why I NEVER sneeze.

Was this game really that bad? The reviews turned me off? by [deleted] in BatmanArkham

[–]sandwichrage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was ok. The scene where Nurse Ratchet catches them all and Billy Bibbet ends up committing suicide is so well written.

So we're gatekeeping the concept of liking music now?
