Holy hell! What's scarier than what happened is how many people don't have a clue about #diabetes. Many of those comments are just frightening.

I was chatting here with someone today and they asked me about being #diabetic They said that they imagine it's difficult to live with #diabetes, unlike the commercials try to make you believe, that you pop a pill each day and you're just fine.

I don't know what NuHerbie is but glad to hear he's keeping you undead!

I woke with a blood glucose of 114. Pretty good.

I had to make a taffy apple salad before I could eat something. Thing is filled with sugars.

I didn't even taste it. Just my hands in the mixture and my #dexcom high BG went off at 220. Yikes! I better not have any

I hate #diabetes. At least this time I heard the #dexcom alarm before it got too low. Still feel like crap

The US is killing diabetics without decent insurance

Open source artificial pancreas software has gotten FDA approval! And open source hardware solutions are coming!

Anyone else having issues after the #dexcom 6 update? If my phone isn't plugged in, or is at least 90% charged, when an alarm goes off, the phone shuts down.

Ten years ago, a tech-savvy group of people with type 1 #diabetes ( #T1D ) decided to pursue a #DIY approach to their own treatment.

A few years back I was a stage manager at #makerfaire and someone from this group gave a talk about this on my stage.
I'm glad to see it is still ongoing.

"A community of people with type 1 diabetes got a self-built device approved. What can they offer that big companies can’t?"

As you may know I have type 1 diabetes, and nothing about open source movement touches me more than the fact I'm able to hack together old devices from different companies together into a system that works very well, and even better than the unreasonably expensive new proprietary stuff. Without OpenAPS and xDrip I'd be living a much more limited life today.

Q4)
Do you think there are myths and misconceptions about the word ‘#diabetes’ alone, due to a poor understanding of the different types?

I had some people previously say to me about #T1D:
- That's the worst one right?🤔
- That's the one you get at birth?🤔
#GBDoc

There's no swearing like what you do when your CGM dies three days after you put it in. I think I beat my dad's old record from when he was setting the focal point for the telescope he built. #diabetes #t1d @diabetes

Working on a paper about #t1d and there's a participant quote about how nice it is that Starbucks has nutrition information for everything, and like +1 to that but also Starbucks seriously if you would just make your app update nutrition information for drink customizations you could be like the holy grail for diabetics. I don't go to Starbucks because it's good coffee, I go because the indie coffee shops don't tell me how many carbs are in things.

@viq
Sorry, I wish I had an answer. I keep giving myself enough insulin for what I THINK I'm going to eat, then don't want to finish. I end up eating more than I want so I can use up the insulin and not have a drop. Sigh. #diabetes #t1d

I have a question: does anybody know why the lid of my sharps bin has these notches? #t1d
