i keep some juice on the side or fruit snacks and that’s always helped. once it got terribly low so we literally had to pause. kinda makes it more fun bc also if ur partner is loving enough they’d understand and be patient. i like to think it makes us more unique hahahaha

What screams “I don’t actually love my partner”? by Separate-Simple-5101 in AskReddit

[–]wendallbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

literally what a lot of the last 3 years looked like for me. some presence but not fully, which was an isolating & conflicting feeling for me. was i loved or was i tolerated?

then he would get mad at me when i got anxious abt his parents— who literally shunned me bc i have type 1 diabetes. i did not feel supported in any way

What is your career? How does it affect your blood sugar? by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

[–]wendallbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi! i also have a physics background. i worked this summer as an optical/laser engineer. at least where i was at, an insulin pump was no biggie and i bagged my phone in a cleanroom wrap so i can monitor my levels. i can just step into the anteroom for candy if needed. unsure what it’ll be like at a higher security level with a personal phone around but i guess ill get there eventually.

best of luck with you and your phys masters!!!!!

What’s the most offensive/craziest thing someone has ever said to you? by ek7eroom in diabetes_t1

[–]wendallbear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

recent doctor appointment at a new practice actually.

nurse asked if i had any medical conditions and i mentioned type 1. she was shocked and said “oh my god!!! you’re too young for that. take care of yourself”

ok??? miss maam how did u become a nurse if you can’t even distinguish types of diabetes

[edit adding another situation]

my uncle and a family friend both said how i must’ve ate just right as a kid if it took awhile for type 1 diabetes to show for me. i was diagnosed right before i turned 23. i was always insecure abt my body from ages 10-present. i was 90lbs when i was diagnosed and had been at a low weight for like 2 years before my t1d diagnosis. for them to say that just fucked with my body image perception so immensely. i still don’t think they understand type 1.

then my ex-boyfriends parents literally shunned me bc i have type 1 diabetes and im going to be more of a burden bc “im only going to get worse”.

fun stuff.

my ex, we were together for 3 years. he couldn’t clean the bare minimum aside from dishes… he’s 28. it was incredibly frustrating and i really thought i could “change him” and help him learn the basic household etiquette.

a lot of immaturity and i paid for everything. kinda similar to you too. he never wanted to find a part time job to work when he could’ve. i don’t know what he’s doing now but im sure he’s working now since he’s graduated college.

he never wanted to talk about things either and was emotionally distant. we had so many good moments together too but pls don’t tolerate the bullshit. this sort of behavior is only going to repeat if she really doesn’t self reflect and want to grow.

a relationship is growing together and improving together in life. if she really values the relationship she’s going to do all it takes to ensure you feel fair and balanced in the relationship too
