#Closed loop insulin system

[ask-sibverse]

So I saw this post the other day (and maybe because I've been diabetic a quarter of a century but "diabetes monitor" usually means this in my mind, not a sensor)

But anyways! Ink and T1D!Reader are friends with Sci who could definitely design a closed loop system for Ink! (For non diabetics, a closed loop system is a sensor and insulin pump that "talk to each other" to constantly dose and adjust in the background, allowing for better control and less frequent doses of insulin and less lows and yes I'm a Dexcom and Omnipod girlie)

[suzieb-fit]

Hmm, ok. I think it's finally time to accept that I have to stay peanut free. Any format. They need to go.

Anyhoo....Not gonna cry about it. It is what it is.

A very steady day. One walk and two short, medium effort home workouts.

Upper body strength after my walk. Then full body barre before lunch.

I was going to do something later, but the motivation wasn't there, for a few different reasons.

Still waiting for my omnipod/dexcom insulin pump loop system to settle down. No progress whatsoever, it seems.

That is definitely impacting both my physical and mental energy. Not exactly helping my emotional energy either.

But I keep tiptoeing through. I won't accept any other choice.

I've stuck pretty close to my macro targets, even with an extra (totally emotionally driven) snack. Mixed nuts (the ones I'm ok with), olive oil spray and sea salt. That's now my regular breakfast from tomorrow, unless i think of something else. That extra snack obviously wasn't my breakfast, lol!

The pic is from those final peanuts this morning.

I've got to put myself back into "take each day as it comes" mode.

Other "life stuff" going on right now, too. So I'm having to acknowledge this isn't a time to push.

I'm really glad I'm halfway through my 100 mile challenge to support the MIND mental health charity.

I'm seriously lacking donations, which saddens me, but I'm looking at it as a personal achievement interest, and the knowledge that I'm doing what I can to help out and show support for an excellent cause. I've also donated money myself.

Let's see what tomorrow brings....

Poor diabetes control: Latest technology may have a solution

Type 2 diabetes constitutes around 90% of diabetes in the world. While we do not have any control over Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes is mostly caused due to lifestyle factors such as poor diet, low physical activity, high BMI, and environmental hazards. Most of these factors can be eliminated by proper monitoring and discipline. And that is how nowadays health experts talk about diabetes reversal or putting diabetes into remission.

Apart from medications and introducing lifestyle changes like a proper nutrient-rich diet and daily physical activity, health care experts nowadays also take the help of the latest technology to keep poorly managed diabetes in control. The aim of current research and innovation in the field of diabetes is to enhance management as well as treatment so that a potential cure for the disease is discovered.

Implantable devices

One of the latest technological aids that have helped in the management of diabetes is wearable and implantable devices. These devices help track insulin release and have emerged as one of the most helpful advancements in the management of diabetes. The wearable devices are convenient and ensure the right tracking of blood sugar levels thereby helping the patient improve his diabetic condition.

Insulin pump

Insulin pumps are small devices that keep on delivering insulin supply rapidly and continuously with the help of a catheter that is placed under the patient’s skin. This particular pump is so designed that it keeps on administering the precise dosage of insulin all through the day the way a healthy pancreas naturally delivers insulin into the body.

A few products in this category also come with additional features such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) that keeps on providing real-time data related to the levels of blood sugar in the body.

Closed-loop insulin delivery system

The latest technology-aided implantable devices like closed-loop insulin systems automate insulin delivery as per the glucose levels. Such devices have an assembly of small machines like a CGM sensor, a control algorithm that monitors blood sugar levels and accordingly delivers insulin and an insulin pump.

Some of these devices have such a high level of technology that the algorithms in them also predict future blood sugar levels by analysing past and present trends and patterns and accordingly offer personalised suggestions for adjusting insulin dosage or even the dosage of lifestyle medications.

on a less meme worthy note man looping back to wesker not liking the healthcare system but still having some reliance on the heckin shot sends me because he's forced to either self administer or face the consequences of Not doing that and it's like man's backed into a corner about it and dang all of this could've been avoided if he just didn't act a whole fuckwit and oh idk maybe not infected himself in the first place??? and he knows it- he knows he's suffering and he did it to himself and he knows it isn't even remotely close to what he's done to others and so he just lets shit happen which is very unhealthy ... man needs this shit in like ... something similar to an insulin pump??? and also needs to get better coping skills and yeah of course it's hard for him to face what he did but he'll live with the physical reminders of it forever so what's the point of avoiding consequences when they're blatantly there

anyway even if he's massively depressed and uncertain of what to do with himself, he knows he can't do nothing and he can't do what he was doing before, and death would be the easy way out and in the end he wants to prove to himself that he isn't always going to be that frightened little boy who was taken from his home / that he isn't always going to be spencer's mirror- his journey of self improvement is so selfish in its reasoning, but from how he was raised it couldn't start because someone else wants him to be a better person, he has to want it for himself

and he also knows that the damage is done but he can choose to not do MORE damage and he can choose to have Morals and as time goes on he feels a little better because he's not running from consequences and whatever the outcome, he thinks it's worth it so maybe he can feel like he was also someone who could do something worthwhile in the end- and not just live as the weapon spencer wanted him to be / not to be spencer

he's slowly finding HIMSELF and that's admirable. it doesn't erase what he's done but damn it's admirable to make that change especially with how everything has gone in his life man thanks for coming to my tedtalk

T1D Technology

Growing up with emerging technology is definitely a unique experience for everyone in their own way. Personally for me, my relationship with technology is a little different because of my disability as a type 1 diabetic. This is an adolescent, autoimmune, and permanent disease that stops the production of insulin in the body that destabilizes the control of blood sugar. The way I rely on technology is interestingly different from your average person due to the technological advances made in the recent years. I’m now able to give myself insulin and know my blood sugar levels through my phone that's connected to the devices attached to me. I am quite literally attached to technology 24/7. When I was younger this did not exist and instead I was poking and injecting myself with needles over 10x a day. It's scary to rely on technology like this because if for whatever reason the internet goes down or the apocalypse happens, how am I going to be safe and carry on? Technology like this sometimes doesn't always live up to the expectations, for example a recent new advancement has been something called the closed loop system which works with your insulin pump and your blood sugar monitor machine to work as one. So if your blood sugar goes up then the machine will automatically give you insulin to bring the glucose down. Sounds really nice, but a large flaw in this design was the over application of insulin. As T1D’s our blood sugar is affected by everything we do, physically, emotionally, and mentally and this new advancement doesn't always take that into consideration and creates a new problem. For example, exercise for me tends to lower my blood sugar. If I’m riding high blood sugars and I’m working out, but the new closed loop system doesn't know this and still gives me more insulin, I'm going to be dealing with extremely dangerous low glucose. I’ve been managing my body like this for over a decade since I was 10 years old, so It feels weird allowing this machine to do the work for me when I know my body and how it reacts better than anyone or any machine. Don't get me wrong, I'm so thankful for the access to medicine and technology today that those in the past never got to live to experience. But there are always flaws and issues with technology like this that do not consider all other outside factors. We should use, adapt and understand technology but we should also remind ourselves how to live when we don't have this type of access anymore.

Hyderabad’s advanced diabetes hospitals offer laser treatments to prevent or treat this condition before it causes irreversible damage.

The most common type of laser therapy used in Hyderabad is focal laser treatment, which targets areas of the retina that are leaking fluid and causing vision problems. Another form of treatment, pan-retinal laser photocoagulation, is used to reduce the risk of vision loss in patients with advanced diabetic retinopathy by reducing the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the retina.

These treatments are performed by skilled ophthalmologists and are highly effective in managing diabetic retinopathy, preserving vision, and preventing further complications.

Bariatric Surgery for Obese Diabetic Patients

For patients with Type 2 diabetes who are also obese, bariatric surgery has emerged as a promising option for managing both conditions. Several leading hospitals in Hyderabad offer bariatric procedures like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, which not only promote significant weight loss but also lead to improved blood sugar control.

Studies have shown that bariatric surgery can lead to remission of Type 2 diabetes in some patients, especially those who have been struggling to control their blood sugar levels with lifestyle changes and medications. Hospitals in Hyderabad that specialize in diabetes care have a dedicated team of surgeons and endocrinologists who work together to provide the best possible outcomes for patients considering this option.

Diabetes Education and Personalized Lifestyle Programs

While medications and treatments are crucial, education and lifestyle management play an equally important role in managing diabetes. Hyderabad’s top diabetes hospitals offer personalized lifestyle programs that include one-on-one consultations with dietitians, exercise physiologists, and diabetes educators.

These programs help patients learn how to manage their condition through proper nutrition, exercise, stress management, and regular monitoring. Many hospitals also offer workshops and group sessions to educate patients about the latest developments in diabetes care and how they can incorporate these innovations into their daily routines.

Day two of following the recommendations in Mindy Pelz's "Menopause Reset" book.

Well, a couple of them for now.

Circadian rhythm helpers.

No caffeine for two hours, and sitting in the light of the rising sun.

Plus what I already do anyway, a morning workout.

Upper body strength. Always a preferred start to my day.

Back to normal life after a couple of iffy ones.

My diabetic appointment went well yesterday. My new consultant is actually wonderful. Love the guy! And not just because he's ok'd me to go on the "closed loop" treatment system.

That's where my CGM (glucose monitor) and insulin pump link up and take the thought and effort out of my background insulin delivery.

A game changer, hopefully.

It's potentially a long wait, but I'm in the queue. What a relief! And a weight off my poor, cortisol drained brain, lol.

Speaking of which, I'm booked in for a blood test in afew weeks to check several things including those cortisol levels.

But back to today. I'm going to make it a good one 😁

having been diagnosed with T1D back in August, I find Kyle and Scott to be great representation also, Kyle can still eat cake, he just has to worry about the three-hour fat delay from that cake (all animal and plant proteins are high in saturated fat). plus, given how Scott's insulin works in both "Basic Cable" and The Fractured but Whole, I like to think the world of South Park has a way faster insulin than Novolog/Humalog (and pump-compliant as opposed to Fiasp, Lyumjev, and Afrezza). new headcanon: Kyle's on a fully-closed loop patch pump system, so he can eat and drink all the sweets he wants. I mean, this is South Park - they have a mad scientist in town who normally puts multiple asses on one-assed animals. He probably made a stupid-fast insulin while trying to put five asses on a bacterium.

Get it, because he’s diabetic?
