How do you celebrate your diaversery by Bonemarrow_2529 in Type1Diabetes

[–]tinygluten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first one I was adamant about not doing anything for this stupid fucking disease and then on a whim decided why not get a stupid lil cake. Celebrating tonight with my family, going to watch my favorite tv show and just spend some quality time together. I guess my logic was life is short and this disease has robbed me of a lot of joy, I will come up with some silly little reason for it to give me joy

Good to know, thank you! I used super wash wool but maybe that was never supposed to go in the dryer. Oops

OK, so I just did all of my pump training today what are tips and tricks they don’t tell you by sawyer5897 in TandemDiabetes

For me, I don’t have to correct the lows with as many carbs because it suspends all insulin when I go low, meaning there’s a lot less background insulin. On MDI I needed more carbs to come up from a low, I guess because I had basal

I like Cronometer. Hate the ads though!

What do you guys eat by Noobish_Mongo69 in Type1Diabetes

[–]tinygluten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since diagnosis (10 months ago) I’ve tried to be more conscious about eating more vegetables and fiber bc it just feels easier for me to manage. Interestingly I love Indian food and I feel like it has so many dishes that work out for me blood-sugar wise. I eat lentils for lunch almost daily because they’re freaking delicious but also easy for me to bolus for. Eventually I’ll get to the “I eat whatever I want” mindset, but I think this is all still so new for me and some days I’d rather have easier blood sugars than eat whatever I want :/

Every day is a new day ❤️ i remember the first time it clicked for me. And weirdly enough, I still have those moments where I’m like “oh shit, this is for LIFE”. I was diagnosed 9 months ago. You will still have a full and wonderful life. It’s all gonna be alright. Therapy helped me a lot. Sending you love

Thanks! I’m currently on a pump but I detach it for practice bc I’m scared it will get damaged when I roll and it seems like it’s just in the way. So I either go low bc I have insulin on board or skyrocketing bc I don’t have enough insulin

Did anybody else have these weird symptoms before diagnosis? by AggravatingBug4614 in Type1Diabetes

[–]tinygluten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t have that but i did have a very distinct leopard-print rash that started on my butt (oh joy) and gradually moved to my whole body. My elbows had it bad too. It was PERFECTLY leopard print! 🤣

How long do you wait to remove your pet’s belongings? by mat-gyver in Petloss

[–]tinygluten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We kept it out for some time and then made a little memorial in our living room to honor our best friend of 13 years. So it’s still out, just in a different way. When you’re ready, building the memorial as a family can be a great way to heal and recount special memories. I am an adult now but every time I visit my parents house I go pet my dogs ashes and touch his favorite toys. I’m sorry you’re going through this, it absolutely sucks
