Time for a N=1 experiment.
How long will a Medtronic Guardian 4 CGM sensor last? Already 1 week in and I've had to restart it.

World Diabetes Day 2023: Mental Health and Peer Support.

Hello, and welcome to the first #GBDoc blog post. I’m Louise, one of your #GBDoc volunteers. I’m 28 and have lived through the many highs and lows of Type 1 Diabetes for almost 6 years. So, I figured, what better way to ...

Technology to manage my diabetes: Digital finger prick meter (BG and Keytones), Libre2 Flash/CGM sensor giving almost real time graphs on my phone and long range avg. Echo Pen 5 to check when my last insulin dose was. Internet to chat with peers in #GBDoc
Sometimes I even resort to the traditional pen and paper numbers logging - oooh and before I had a Libre there was a SpreadSheet for calculating longer term averages and trends.

Diabetes itself is slow - that in itself is something I'm still getting used to. Looking back I'd been ill for a few months. However, when something goes wrong you need to act fast. Diabetes + Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome bounced off each other to make a situation that needed professional intervention and a supportive Wife to push me to get help when claiming "I'm fine" with a 250bpm resting heart rate! 3/3 #GBDoc #DiabetesAwarenessMonth

The 4T's were all there but we had separate other reasons for them until we knew the #t1d was there (End of term tiredness, trying to cut food and lose weight). Biggest thing I remember from the hospital was the annoying cannula, setting off the alarm on the infusion pump every time I bent my arm and being told I either learn to inject or it stays in my arm.

My #t1d diagnosis: 23 Dec 2019 (Age 35). I'd had "a cold" for a few days and it just wouldn't shift. GP > Ambulance > A&E for 250 resting heart rate. High blood sugar was spotted by paramedics but an aside to the heart initially. Spent my first week doing a "magic show" as I had to be supervised by cardiac nurses as I did my insulin injections for the first time - and tethered to a cardiac monitor. Released on NYE and Wife refused to take me home so we went to my parents for support. 1/3 #GBDoc

I'm hosting the #GBDoc Quiz #Halloween special this Thursday (26 Oct) from 8pm.
The quiz happens on Zoom and, whilst it's nice to see our dia-buddies, it's also cool to join quietly with your camera off if you prefer.
#t1d, #t2d, #MODY whatever your flavour it's all good including friends and family with #tFd.
If you want to join the fun and have some #Diabetes #PeerSupport just drop this account a DM.

@GBDocChatHost A3) Mine are booked in I once missed a Flu jab and got a nasty flu that year so never again. I used to take extra vitamin C but don't now after the issues with Libres with Vitamins C. #GBDoc

A simple one for Q3. Have you had your flu jab, your Covid jab(s), Pneumococcal vaccine, anything else to minimise the effects of getting those nasty bugs? #GBDoc
