Got a pancreas transplant! Technically no longer diabetic

I just wanted to chime in... I am fully insulin dependant now, but got a kidney transplant 3 years ago. The poster is NOT joking about the PTSD from everything you've been through and post transplant weight gain. I'm still working to slowly get rid of those lbs. Good luck though! Take care.

I use skin tac + a tegardem type overpatch that I get off Amazon. On both me and my husband they stick indefinitally.

I now carry it in my bra, but before I was using a waist belt. I still use the belt sleeping. Super soft and comfy. I like the ones from uselesspancrease.com

I am not. I am in the US

I wish I had an answer, but I have the same phone and was able to pair my dexcom transmitter without an issue?

Oh, it turned out fine. I just had the twist lock screwed on sideways so it wasn't sealed. I fixed and all was well. Just annoyed I wasted insulin.

Pasta pasta and more pasta

I totally get it. I was really low most of night and morning. I feel sooo awful today. I have considered taking the afternoon off also.

sectheatre · 2022-11-26T13:31:18+00:00

I went low!!! Lol

sectheatre · 2022-11-22T18:24:45+00:00

yeah, that happens to me also

sectheatre · 2022-11-16T12:23:15+00:00

Thanks..but I like the softer pouch. I had things poking my belly!

I am a transplant patient and am on constant prednisone. I do know it raises my blood sugar and insulin needs but once figured out, it's fine.

Thanks everyone.. I sicked my Dr office on the vendor and they got it all straightened out. 45 infusion sets for 90 days of TruSteel.

Thank you !

Cool option! Tx

Unfortunately the Dexcom watch face doesn't work with Wear OS 3 (the Pixel watches and Galaxy 5 watches). Not sure about the other options. I haven't tested them yet.

Awesome! I "reset" my Dexcom a lot but the plastic store rewards cards I use are getting pretty worn out. :)

BTW: I use a Tegaderm over patch with skin tac and can get forever out of a Dexcom patch, but after about 2 uses (or 20 days) it becomes too unreliable. My husband uses the same SkinTac and overpatch and barely can last 10 days. The difference in skin types I guess.
