Sigh, second in a row #Dexcom #CGM sensor dead at 8.5 days instead of the official 10.5 days, and I'm out, currently waiting for delivery and I thought I still had a couple of days for that...

My time isn't really mine.
Oh, you managed to steel yourself and are about to drag yourself out for a walk? Gee, that's nice, but despite eating a bunch and not taking nearly enough insulin for that, BG is going to trend down, so, yeah, good luck with that.
Oh, you want to chill and do stuff then? Ha ha ha ha 📈 you get your ass out there.

Aaaaaarghhhhhh
My main phone, after system update from Android 13 to 15, decided to stop getting data from my #CGM. Well, I have an old (android 9 😬) phone in drawer, for now it will work for #xDrip, even though it's too old to install current #AndroidAPS on...
Well, guess what, even though both xDrip and the Bluetooth app (did you even know your system had one?) are excluded from battery optimization, it now also decided that I don't need data from the sensor 💀

My spoons/marbles/spell slots today/this week have been largely consumed by "my phone decided to stop being compatible with stuff helping keep me alive".

#LifeWithDiabetes #WeAreNotWaiting

Sigh. Debugging sensor connectivity issues (the one in my arm, helping keep me alive).
Change a setting.
Wait 5 minutes for another attempt to communicate with sensor.
Change a setting.
Wait 5 minutes.
Change a setting.
Reboot.
Wait 10 minutes, because after reboot first time communication will work. (unless the reboot caused you to miss the communications moment, in which case wait another 5 minutes).
And so on...

#LifeWithDiabetes #Diabetes #WeAreNotWaiting

Well, I'm glad I waited with upgrading phone to Android 15 until weekend, because now it's a dance and seeing what options to adjust, if any, to make xdrip actually keep getting the data from my #CGM sensor 💀

I'm using the "opportunity" of a failed pump to remind myself what life on injections is like (for one, it's *much* easier logistically when e.g. travelling, camping). And the thing that's currently weirdest for me is not having to dance around the connected pump when dressing or undressing.

Ah, yes, the very beginning of weekend is the *perfect* time for my insulin pump to fall apart.
You know, the thing giving me insulin, without which I'm dead in at most days.
#LifeWithDiabetes #t1d #Type1Diabetes #diabetes
The Warm Days are here, so I guess by now the experiment is conclusive: mixing 1:1 #insulin #FIASP with something else (in my case, liprolog) still gives you faster action, but generally no site blockages during the 3-4 days I keep the site and tubing. Pure fiasp could result in a blockage within 48 hours.
