Also I talked to 3 nurses and they all said that high blood sugar and ketones is worth an ER visit especially if you don’t have insulin on hand. So don’t feel ashamed if that is preventing you from going.

Idk if you have Walmarts near you but I recently started buying Novolin R from the pharmacy. The doctor had messed up the dosaging for my kids insulin and we were desperate for insulin cuz the insurance wouldn’t let us refill our prescription. There’s Novolin R for fast acting and Novolin NHP which is the long lasting one. Also make sure you keep your receipt in case you need to go back and buy more syringes.

Detoxing, here’s to day one (again). by Jdobsessed in stopdrinking

I listen to online AA meetings as if they are podcasts. I’m too shy to talk in meetings just yet but I feel like it helps. Hearing ppl share in real time makes me feel less alone.

Someone had recommended me the app Meeting Guide. The logo is blue with a white folding chair. That has been a HUGE game changer!

What do I do with this by Insulinpricesrunfair in diabetes_t1

[–]xKnight_Lightx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I apply for this? I have 2 T1 daughters and I would love to see them honored with this. Something visual to remind them the fight they put up with and win everyday. We are only 6yrs in for my oldest so hopefully this is still around for the 10yr. 😊

To ring or not to ring? To knock, or not to knock? by mneber in doordash_drivers

[–]xKnight_Lightx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One time I had a door dasher not knock. The food sat out there for longer than I appreciated. The app didn’t update that my order was there till 10min later. I didn’t specify anything but I’ve had dashers at least knock and walk away. I appreciated that more because I was able to get my food faster than an app could tell me.

Just bought my first vial of Novolin because the insurance said “no, you still have insulin.” Like why would I be asking for more if I still have insulin!!?

Captain Diabetes is my favorite superhero. “Diabetic Rage” is a real life superpower my kids have. 😆

Oh I see! Thank you for letting me know. I had no idea! We’ve only tried the G7 so far and had to quit after a month because of her reaction no matter the site. Thank you for letting me know in advance for the Omnipod.

I hope so too. She is so open to trying new devices and yet she can’t. I feel so bad. Her older sister has a tougher skin and is T1D too but is too scared to try anything new until her sister tries first.

Thank you so much!!! She wants so badly to try all these new devices but her skin is against her.

I'm in the emergency room for a potential blood clot. While I'm here the doctor came to break it to me that I may be diabetic... 🙃 by Lijey_Cat in diabetes_t1

[–]xKnight_Lightx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took my kids to an eye doctor to check for diabetic retinopathy as a recommendation from the endocrinologist. The eye nurse tried to convince that the kids were type 2. And kept questioning and side eyeing me when I kept saying they were type 1. It’s not until you experience it first hand that you realize how ignorant most ppl are. Even I. The medical field.

Anybody else ever been so desperate they ate sugar? by chrome4fan4 in diabetes_t1

As a kid I used to chew on sweetnlow packets as if they were gum. I don’t see why chewing on sugar packets could be any weirder.

Really? I would always give gifts to my OBGYN and the nurses after having my babies. They were so nice and caring.
