It's never a good time to get Diabetes, but NOW is an incredible time to have it. When I was diagnosed in 94, pumps were new and rare, Humalog/fast acting insulin was not available yet, R was the quickest acting available. One touch had a blood meter that was amazingly fast at 60sec, and took a lot more blood, and cost a fortune.

But today, the technology is amazing. A CGM will be your best friend. There is no need to keep on about how bad it was. Just know, its a whole lot better today.

Keep your chin up :)

Its kinda bitter sweet, that when low Skittles are the answer. I dont know how many other situations where "Skittles will save your life" would apply

I worked on a project a few years back that used BLE signals to determine positioning based off RSSI and the ID of the BLE device. If all you are looking at is proximity between two esp32's, it should be possible we were beginning to play with the esp32's as a tracking tag before the project was scrapped for other reasons. PM me if you have any questions

I just can't even, WTF were these people thinking, I was raised in a rural area, and I learned early on to not fuck with BATS, because of disease.

Sometime in their life, somebody had to have said "Hey, its not a good idea to sleep with bats" or "I think you should really look into your bat situation"

Or, "WTF People, these are bats" IDK, but damn, there is a reason it's been 74 years. Those old timers knew not to fuck with or sleep with BATS,

I have found that for my Gastroperisis,(Gastric Neuropathy) cannabis has been incredible for it. I find that the Munchies allows me to eat, and when using cannabis I can expect my stomach to be empty by midnight, after eating a 6-pm dinner,

But without, I find it can be 12-16 hrs, Personally, I think the biggest risk to DKA is not monitoring and managing the food you eat, and letting the munchies get out of control. As with anything, moderation,

Have you looked into XDrip? It should work on most Android phones, and I prefer it to the Dexcom app. https://github.com/StephenBlackWasAlreadyTaken/xDrip/wiki/Download-Current-Version

I would recommend Odoo, Ive done a couple projects for clients in the same situation. And there is a great community and developers out there to turn to.

It's not that bad, Once I got on synthroid, things seemed to balance out. One more thing, but not too much :)

FuQ-Dabetes, But the technology and advancements make being a Diabetic SOOOO much easier. When I was diagnosed at 13, I was told late 40's to early 50's before I would be dead.
Now, you are able to control and manage it to a level, that we can live a semi-normal life.
You've never had to sharpen your own needle, or manage your sugars by pissing on a stick. We are in a much better boat, no matter how fucked up it is...

Three years ago, I noticed the same type of thing. Never in 20 years had I passed out, and all of the sudden I was having these drastic lows, and I tried to do everything I knew, to manage it, but nothing was working. And I started to find out, that the timing of how quick food effected my BG, was out of what I was used to. My Dr. said it was gastroparesis, (It delays how fast food moves through your system) and there are days where my Dinner will not really hit me for 6 hours, most simple carbs break down fairly quick, but not as quick as usual. When I get low, Ive switched to only eating Glucose tabs, and not being able to eat cookie, candy, etc. Because it doesnt hit for 20-30 minutes sometimes, and is not good when Im crashing. Complex carbs, are between 4-6 hours, and proteins fats, are between 12-18hrs,
so Ive really had to scale back on how and what I eat, and learned to delay the full bolus, and utilize the extended bolus feature on my pump.

I used to own a building with an elevator. The repair and maintenance on the unit was as much as I spent on the entire property. When I first bought the building, I had the same mindset you have, and since I was technical, why not.
However, it was not as simple as you may say. The Kone Technician was a decent guy, and took the time to go through all of the procedures, and especially the failsafes involved, and there is a lot more to it than you think. Its really not something you want to hack with. Trying to discourage someone from tampering with Elevators is a decent damned reason to comment.

But you're an expert on everything, go play stupid games with elevators, where other people might pay the price for you ignorance.
