Chris GeoghooliganWell fuck if I ever eat a Philly cheesesteak again. <a href="https://toot.community/tags/WTAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WTAF</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/T1D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#T1D</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Type1Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Type1Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/DiabeticProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiabeticProblems</a>

TomI think the hardest part of my son's <a href="https://social.tomlarrow.com/tags/t1d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#t1d</a> 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

John Francis 🦫🇨🇦🍁💪⬆️Carefully gathered and entered a few dozen pieces of information to submit a <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/dexcom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dexcom</a> 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.<a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/t1d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#t1d</a>

Will<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@hazelweakly" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@hazelweakly</a> I love it! The way the mc's mind offers some tasty world building exposition as the narrative flows along!(As a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/t1d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#t1d</a> 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 <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/specfic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#specfic</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scifi</a> stories!

Chris GeoghooliganI’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. <a href="https://toot.community/tags/T1D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#T1D</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Type1Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Type1Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/DiabeticProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiabeticProblems</a>

Ed WorrellMy 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. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ScreamingPod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScreamingPod</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InsulinPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InsulinPump</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Diabetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diabetic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/T1D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#T1D</a>

Chris GeoghooliganMe: 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.<a href="https://toot.community/tags/T1D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#T1D</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Type1Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Type1Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/DiabeticProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiabeticProblems</a>

Chris GeoghooliganDrinking OJ at 181 mg/dL because you just know your body is up to some bullshit.<a href="https://toot.community/tags/T1D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#T1D</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Type1Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Type1Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/DiabeticProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiabeticProblems</a>

Chris GeoghooliganMy 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.<a href="https://toot.community/tags/FML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FML</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/T1D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#T1D</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Type1Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Type1Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/DiabeticProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiabeticProblems</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/gastroparesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gastroparesis</a>

PJ Evans<a href="https://social.tomlarrow.com/@tom" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tom</a> Amazing. As a father to a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/t1d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#t1d</a> son also, I’d love to know how you do this. Is it a Libera CGM?

TomWent down the self hosted home assistant rabbit hole tonight after receiving my Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition So far running the speech to text and text to speech in separate docker containers and keeping all that voice data local I don't have many IoT things for it to control, but I can say "Hey Nabu, what are my son's blood glucose numbers" and have it tell me the numbers and the trend which is really darn cool <a href="https://social.tomlarrow.com/tags/t1d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#t1d</a>

Chris GeoghooliganMy dawn phenomenon is much more manageable now that I’m bolusing a 5g equivalent for coffee.My evenings and overnights are a disaster now, but my mornings are good 😅<a href="https://toot.community/tags/T1D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#T1D</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Type1Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Type1Diabetes</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diabetes</a>

Ed WorrellIt has only taken me 2 weeks to get my BG/insulin pump on track. 😒 i finally got it all working in sync yesterday! 100% TIR, 119 average BG, and most importantly, only 36U of insulin. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Diabetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diabetic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/T1D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#T1D</a>

Chris GeoghooliganFor those who don’t understand how <a href="https://toot.community/tags/gastroparesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gastroparesis</a> affects my <a href="https://toot.community/tags/T1D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#T1D</a>, my insulin was suspended for over 1.5 hours before I finally caved and had a glass of OJ and a bowl of cereal with no bolus. It’s been 1:15 since then and I’m only at 116 mg/dL.Sometime this evening, unannounced, my BG will skyrocket when I start to digest. Meanwhile I’m fighting to not be hypo.

Chris GeoghooliganI’ve been having some success controlling my crazy <a href="https://toot.community/tags/DawnPhenomenon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DawnPhenomenon</a> and persistent afternoon highs lately by increasing both my insulin:carb ratio and basal rate in the AM, AND giving a small bolus for coffee.
