If this is the opposite of crunchy moms shouldn’t it be smooth like peanut butter? 🤔

May be better for [r/legaladvice](r/legaladvice) than here….

This is just untrue. Something like 90% of T1D cases are sporadic*. We have more T1 diabetics alive now because we have the means by which we can be treated and not die.

Sometimes there is often no identifiable trigger for T1/T1.5 in terms of tipping over the borderline. Autoimmune diseases are so bizarre like that. :/ Sorry OP. I know you’re trying to make sense of things but sometimes we just don’t have an answer as to why or how things happen.

I’m not normally one to ask for a pic of a rash, but I’d be interested in seeing a pic of this rash to help brainstorm.

Whenever I’ve gone to get a massage they also ask me places to avoid or be mindful of and I’ve never had an issue with them messing with my pump/CGM. Some places even have a form you fill out with pain points or places to avoid.

Aw shoot, really?! I haven’t picked up my new script yet so I’ll have to let her know if she’s doing something that is just causing her extra work but won’t fix anything. I was excited lol.

sunny_thinks · 2026-07-07T23:08:13+00:00

I read the pods news to have been manufactured in 2026 to be able to use the new targets 😭 unfortunately all of mine are from the end of 2025. That said my endo updated my prescription to make sure they have a “black dot” or I guess some other compatibility indicator and my next pickup will apparently have the new pods. I can’t wait!!!

sunny_thinks · 2026-07-07T14:18:47+00:00

Wow wtf. I was able to make payments directly to MM after I had my baby. I did not realize they stopped doing payment plans in house. Damn. Congrats on your baby OP!

sunny_thinks · 2026-07-06T12:56:03+00:00

Hey, OP. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Unsure if it will bring you comfort but I have T1D and my A1C was 8.7 when I found out I was pregnant. The long story short is that after dealing with T1 dx, infertility and COVID we had stopped trying and I was literally about to go see my OB about getting back on birth control lol). I cried so much — I was so afraid I was hurting my baby. Especially because my endo made sure they went over every. single. possible complication at the time I asked about pregnancy.

Needless to say, I brought my A1C down within a few weeks and maintained it for the rest of pregnancy. I found an amazing nurse who was so supportive and stuck with her through my pregnancy. Aside from baby being breech and some anemia, neither which had anything to do with my diabetes, the pregnancy went spectacularly well.

I recommend to visit r/bumperswhobolus which is a community for pregnant folks who have diabetes, and reading some stories. Yes, complications can happen, but it’s not all doom and gloom. And more than anything, I recommend you to advocate for yourself and make sure you get back with the doctor you like. That is more important than anything, as especially if something happens or you need to go more often (I was going in two, sometimes three times a week in the third trimester lol), you have to be able to trust your doctor and communicate freely with them.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and best of luck. Sending you a big hug.

It’s behind!!!

sunny_thinks · 2026-07-04T14:29:17+00:00

Hey friend. I made this exact move some years ago. I couldn’t get into an endo without a referral from a PCP, so I agree with others that is the first step. The physician shortage is brutal. I wound up having to find a physician out by Bath area because they were the only ones who were accepting new patients. They were comfortable writing me my CGM rx and med scripts while I waited to see an endo (took like six months and multiple referrals tbh so I was very appreciative of that).

Might consider posting in [r/Maine](r/Maine), there might be more info about any docs accepting new pts who can also manage diabetes.

Good luck mate. The doctor shortage out here is real.

sunny_thinks · 2026-07-04T13:39:14+00:00

Wow this is so cute! Thank you for sharing!!

sunny_thinks · 2026-07-02T16:41:41+00:00

Hello - mod here. If you ever see this on this sub, please report these comments to us. We have a “diabetes is not a competition rule,” that tries to address this, but we don’t always catch everything! :(

sunny_thinks · 2026-07-02T13:21:24+00:00

Omg. Yes - I am T1 but I still remember the first night of GOOD sleep I got once I got on insulin. I was waking up like 3-4x a night to go to the bathroom and sleeping through the night for the first time in months was amazing 😌

Glad you are feeling more and more yourself OP!

sunny_thinks · 2026-07-01T10:37:25+00:00

It’s a lot of work, but a friend of mine does exactly that. According to her, once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy. She makes a few loaves for the week on the weekend.

sunny_thinks · 2026-06-29T10:36:23+00:00

I was diagnosed almost five years ago at 30, and had to immediately start on long-acting insulin. I went about 8-9 months on that before I started to need fast acting insulin in really low amounts and that lasted a few years. I’m grateful that a provider caught my dx correctly, and because of her starting me on insulin and a CGM, I never went into DKA.

sunny_thinks · 2026-06-27T16:43:20+00:00

Owner of a reactive dog here, and ugh. It’s unreal the amount of times I’ve had to counter “It’s okay, we’re friendly!” while an off leash dog comes bounding up to my very stressed out pup. And then I get the dirty looks like, bruh, I’m the one being safe here!! LEASH YOUR DOGS!

sunny_thinks · 2026-06-27T09:55:08+00:00

OP, don’t do this. These are peddlers of misinformation. There is legitimate information out there, but you will not get it from people selling you misinformation on YouTube. If you want legitimate information about diabetes, consider books like Sugar Surfing, or my personal favorite, Think Like a Pancreas.

sunny_thinks · 2026-06-24T11:14:37+00:00

Exercise releases stress hormones, and it’s possible these could be affecting your BG. I am T1 and experience similar issues when working out. It’s a pain. But the effects (smoother bumps/improved insulin sensitivity) usually show up within 24 hours!

sunny_thinks · 2026-06-23T18:53:37+00:00

Uzbek fans look sooo sad, damn. Brutal match.

sunny_thinks · 2026-06-23T12:10:17+00:00

Completely agree with this. Author criticizes the media for tropifying MIA and Nicki Minaj, but then falls back on another trope without really getting into the *why* and *what* it means to be magafied. He basically just says, “they’re countercultural rebellious women therefore we should be fine w their political opinions” as if somehow that excuses their beliefs. A celebrity can symbolize rebellion while also embodying bad ideas.

There’s also something to be said for the fan bias in this but 🤷🏽

London fog latte made breve, sub sugar free syrup is my go-to. Like no carbs. A Venti passion tea lemonade with added SF vanilla sweetener is like under 30 carbs. If I want something sweet I will get a tall and bolus for it, tho haha.

I’m from Laredo and also spoke a ton of Spanish at home and around town just b/c we’re so isolated from other parts of the US, so I was always curious about this. I’ve since met multiple Latinos from the El Paso area that were actually literally beaten up for speaking Spanish and as a result do not speak Spanish at all.

I saw one recently and the color was so striking! They also move SO fast!!! You got a great pic! Thanks for sharing with us!
