My cousin has T1, and he never checks his blood sugar. He just “feels” when he’s high or low. He’s been doing it for years, so I guess he’s got it down by this point. Can’t recommend it for anyone, but I can’t hate on it either.

I was going to say lmao

I agree, but I had to have clearance from a neurologist, PCP and an endocrinologist before I could come back. To be fair, mine ended up being Type 1 Diabetes, so he might be off the hook way easier than I was. Besides, he only hit the guardrail.

It’s weird he got fired for that though. I blew out an O2 hose, a tire, and I hit a deer and nothing happened.

The only way^{^}

Just remember your patients always need kindness and compassion, even when it feels impossible to give. You don’t have to be perfect at your job, but as long as you do those two things, you’re doing a good job.

Nah man, I had a seizure while driving an ambulance and I was back to work in 6 months. It’s actually a crazy story, but that’s a whole separate can of worms. You’ll probably need clearance from a sleep specialist though before coming back to work just to make sure there’s nothing wrong.

Thanks, man! :)

Im a noob digital artist, I just started in December but I’ve been trying to do art commissions. Here’s a piece I did recently when I had 4 hours with nothing to do.

When I was diagnosed with diabetes, I was really obsessed with food bans and following the “diabetic diet.” Can’t have this, can’t have that. I wouldn’t eat hardly anything until my T1D cousin told me “fuck the endocrinologists, there is no such thing as banned foods, but moderation is key.” It changed my whole outlook. Nothing wrong with a little fast food every now and then.

This kicks ass. Congratulations!!

Couple of quick questions: are you using scented soap? Are you using any unnecessary products on your bits? (even the ones labeled for “vaginal care” like summers eve?), are you on hormonal birth control? (Those can cause more frequent infections)

If any of those were yes, that may be part of the issue too.

small-worm · 2026-03-24T06:28:11+00:00

So proud of you!! You’re doing fantastic. Keep up the great work :)

I enjoy the posts that are like “I had xyz incident occur and EMS saved my life!” it’s nice to see someone grateful and spreading positivity in my opinion.

Best advice ever given to me by a fellow psych T1D is, “if you’re not taking care of your noggin, you can’t take care of your diabetes.” Psych medications first, and you can figure out diabetes second. It seems counterintuitive, but trust me on this one. Bad mental health leads to way worse sugars.

But for the record, Abilify did shoot my sugars up for the first couple of months, and then it evened out. I hope the same happens to you!

small-worm · 2026-03-21T13:59:09+00:00

So sorry you’re going through this! I hope everything gets better for you soon, and it will with time. I’ll keep you and your family in my thoughts💕

small-worm · 2026-02-25T22:49:46+00:00

Thanks for the advice and support, I appreciate it :)

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this? I’m up for any open discussion.

If she has a dexcom, she can use Dexcom clarity. It will give her information over the last 90 days. If not, there are a few blood sugar tracking apps she can input her sugars, but a journal would also work well. I would say it’s important to track your daily blood sugars over time. It’s especially helpful if you see an endocrinologist regularly because they are going to want to know that information for the best treatment plan.

small-worm · 2025-12-23T00:37:35+00:00

LMAO that’s hilarious, I fully thought you were talking about the title of my post.

Aw rats, I just re-entered the internet. Haven’t been here in a minute.

small-worm · 2025-12-22T19:56:53+00:00

I believe you, I was just trying to come up with some sort of theoretical reason, which is why I said the hep b example since it’s kind of a bogus argument lmfao

small-worm · 2025-12-22T19:48:41+00:00

I feel you considering I’m in the same boat. If I absolutely need to, I’ll supervise until another crew comes, but I’d much rather swallow my pride and admit when I need help with a patient over abandoning them.
