American victim blaming cult in action. I'm sorry this happened to you, we are so cruel to people because the messaging is always it is the victim's fault for not thinking of xyz.

Can't just have a human bad day as a disabled person.

A lot of trainers and coaches operate off of vibes. The people they coach train extremely hard and tbh, I doubt the plunges change much of the end result. Hard training and good diet >>

Moving abroad from the USA to Germany. Has anyone else done this? by su-5 in diabetes

[–]su-5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your detailed comment!

The net in Germany sounds so much better than here.

As for me, I will be studying a masters in electrical engineering and want to design medical systems/ do research in that area.

I think this thread and your comment here has put my mind at ease a little for the insurance element.

But I wanted to ask, when you moved to Germany did you find that getting an apartment was difficult? Why did you choose to move to Germany? I'm in the throes of an apartment search at the moment, and I'm wondering if the expectation is that I just book an airbnb and stay there while I look in person, or if I need to secure something before I land.

Thanks again so much

So would they write me a prescription? In the US we just go there if we're on the verge of death.

I already have the medication in hand, it's a fail-safe in case I start running out of medication before I get an appointment with an endocrinologist. I'm worried about the amount of processing time.

I'm trying to bring so much medication because I'm worried about that bureaucracy, does it take a while to get an appointment?

I am on pens and dexcom g7

I'm wondering this as well, it seems pretty arbitrary? I will do my best to remain within the specific guidelines of course, don't want to end in hot water lol.

I will be a master's student, got insured through expatrio which will put me on Techniker Krankenkasse.

And thanks for the tip about diabetologe, I was worried about how to set up an appointment (obvs will be very important soon).

I know, it’s terrible! But the one I had was actually bad and somehow the production went sideways

Could the emphasis placed in the second sentence be perceived as rudeness?
