I think the hardest part of my son's #t1d is my own experience working with computers. I expect the same output when I give the same input, and he's a child, not a computer

Made him the exact same breakfast 3 days in a row, his CGM within 20 points so gave the exact same dosage, always 12-15 min before he ate.

Wednesday he was high all morning, because he was on day 3 of the insulin in his pod, and it had lost some potency

Thursday he was dead straight across all morning, everything was perfect

Today he has gone low twice already and has had 2 snacks because his class is going on a field trip and he was bouncing around with excitement

Tur man har flexibelt jobb. Sonen har klämt en kebabrulle men har inget insulin (det har han eg men inga nålar). Rycker ut för leverans.

Carefully gathered and entered a few dozen pieces of information to submit a #dexcom G7 complaint.

When it works, it usually works well, but a decent number of them fall off or malfunction, and then a complaint must be filed to receive a replacement voucher.

If you don't keep up filing the complaints, you'll reach the end of the insured supply before the end of the insurance year. Then you'll have to cough up > $85+HST for each 10-day sensor.

This is an enshittified process.

I love it! The way the mc's mind offers some tasty world building exposition as the narrative flows along!

(As a #t1d i got excited about the finger prick- though it's not for a bloodglucose test)
I always wonder if there's foodstamps, is there also a way to get insulin and other med supplies?

Side note- i see a pungent irony in the fact that i rely on a simple AI to control my insulin pump, considering how much i love these dystopian near future #specfic #scifi stories!

I’m starting to understand self-destructive behavior. It is so much easier to tear it all down when you have a body that constantly lets you down and undermines you in your daily life, stealing the most invaluable thing you have: time.

It is escapist, but I get it.

My stupid OmniPod failed at 4 am this morning, it scared the shit out of me! I’m glad it didn’t wake my wife up. I’m not sure how it didn’t though. #ScreamingPod #InsulinPump #Diabetic #T1D

Me: works outside in the garden, hauling a literal ton of topsoil, building planter boxes, burning 3,000 calories, BG 90%+ in range.

Also me: stands in the sun for 10 minutes, BG falls off a cliff and sets off every phone/pump alarm.

Asking for some suggestions!

Does anyone know of current android phones that have the least amount of ai garbage or at least a way to remove it from the device? I need to get a new phone and I prefer android. Has to be from this list.

Drinking OJ at 181 mg/dL because you just know your body is up to some bullshit.

My body has decided to digest my dinner promptly tonight, along with the OJ, wheat thins, and craisins I ate over the course of a 2.5 hour hypo (ending 4 hours ago) when it WASN’T digesting, and now I’m 310 and rising.

My mental health will kill me if my T1D & gastroparesis don’t first.
