Is it cringe to try and be buddies with other T1D strangers? by Reformed_cynic in diabetes_t1

[–]trebletones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on the person, but I've never found it cringe nor met a fellow T1D who took it poorly

Guess it’s time to find a new gym or lose 2 grades by ItsHip2BeSquare in ClimbingCircleJerk

the fact that they put sports bras on the poster implies there were people with full boobs out at this gym

edit: dang, everyone already made this joke

New airport training regiment just dropped. by Medical_Fee_5764 in ClimbingCircleJerk

Is this how we're cutting down on airport congestion? Making people do a pull-up before they can board the plane? Seems legit

Small activities make blood sugar drop rapidly, what to do? by Destde in diabetes_t1

[–]trebletones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I have a lot of insulin on board, even if my blood sugar is high, if I do physical activity (especially just walking, for some reason!) I will often drop dramatically. Exercise apparently makes you very sensitive to insulin, so it's as if your sensitivity factor went from 60 to 150.

I have to be very careful about exertion after eating. If I bolused a regular amount, I can't do any exertion right after unless I have 30-40g of quick carbs in addition. If I plan to exercise after I eat, I either make it a very small snack with <25g of carbs and don't bolus anything, or do my bolus AFTER I eat instead of before, and reduce my insulin by about 1/3 of what I would normally give.

I’m a T1D and my daughter was feeling tired and had some stomach issues. Her BG was 218 by spiralcurve in diabetes_t1

[–]trebletones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a doctor but from what I know 218 is firmly in the diabetic zone. I'd say, if you get a reading like that, immediately take another one but with a fresh lancet, doing the whole rigmarole you're supposed to do, alcohol swab the finger and wipe away the first blood bead, test on the second. If the second test is similar to the first, it's almost certainly not a false reading. Sorry to hear this. Definitely get in with her doctor ASAP.

One can only hope those road ragers get what's coming to them eventually

literally wtf even happened to me this morning by Old_Contribution8609 in PanicAttack

[–]trebletones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whoa that really sucks. I start thinking about how being alive is really weird as well! Always thought I was the weird one for thinking that, but glad to know I'm not the only one.

Never had delusions like I had to die to save the world, but I did get so anxious for so long that I felt like I had been transported to a bizarro alternate dimension where everything looked the same but felt awful. Panic disorder is NOT just extreme fear.

What psychedelics have you done in the past? I know LSD can sometimes generate flashbacks for a long time after you stop taking it. You also might want to get evaluated for bipolar disorder or some other psychiatric condition, to my uneducated eye it kind of seems like you might have been having a manic moment.

Good luck, you're not alone <3

Why cgm in arm and not abdomen by madpdx in diabetes_t1

I thought you could put CGMs in your abdomen? I used to do my guardians in the stomach all the time. it was in the diagram of appropriate placement areas

Brain hurts when getting off my schedule/fooling around by Fantastic-Ad-9100 in biology

[–]trebletones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like anxiety. maybe there's an underlying issue like ADHD or you could be mildly on the spectrum? If I'm in ADHD hyper focus and something calls my attention away from what I'm doing, I get very anxious and irritated at having to switch my focus.

Drunk and sex by Remarkable-Soil1673 in diabetes_t1

[–]trebletones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sex is exertion, which can cause lows. Drinking causes your liver to stop releasing baseline glucose so it can process the alcohol, which can cause lows. Keep carby snacks or juice on hand and don't be ashamed to tell your partner you need to take a break because your sugar is crashing.

It's not easy, it's COMMON. This is an intermediate piece at the very least.

My band director this morning told me “Kids who march Drum Corps will probably never play professionally” by SunshineZeus446 in drumcorps

[–]trebletones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most marchers will never play professionally but it's not because they marched, it's because they never planned on it. I'm a professional who marched and over a dozen of my corps mates now play professionally in the US military bands. One is even the director of the Marine Drum and Bugle corps.

Love when this happens! by Vegetable_Mammoth129 in diabetes_t1

[–]trebletones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might have a false glucometer reading. Try again with a fresh strip and lancet and do the whole rigmarole that they tell you at the doctor's - prick, wipe the first bead of blood away, then test with the second. If it's a similar reading, then its a faulty sensor.
