#T1Diabetes

[moonagedaydreamsofrhiannon]

yeah, diabetes sucks sometimes, but every once in a while I see someone in public with a dexcom or pump, and I point to my own, and despite being total strangers we have this mutual shared understanding that no one else gets, and it feels like a secret club that we’re in that no one else gets to be a part of

Type 1 diabetic culture is personifying your pump and cgm. every time their alarms go off i go "sorry, my wife is yelling at me" or "girl, calm down, ain't no one talkin to you"

Has anyone else had problems with their Dexcom G7? Recently, they've been worse than Dexcom G6 is They have a really bad inaccurate readings they disconnect so easily along with other things I want to know if I'm the only ones struggling with this?

Hey, Quick update.

Just wanted you guys to know that today I leave for Overnight Diabaetes Camp! 🎉

But we’re not allowed to use our phones for any purpose except to check our blood sugar and stuff. 😔

So I just want you all to know that it’s for a week, and i will still be on Tumblr until like… between 12–1 pm, when I leave.

I’ll be back next Saturday, so I should be responding next Saturday or Sunday. You’ll get an update.

You can still like my posts, comment, reblog, ask questions that I might not get to until the end of the week, all that sha-bang.

I’ll be back, I promise.

Just hope I don’t come back to see my inbox blown up

Sooo for those of you that don't know I have type 1 diabetes and I wear a dexcom (a lil thing with a filament that sits under my skin to measure my blood sugars). I just ran up the stairs and whacked it on a picture frame and it really hurt so I checked it and like- I ripped the whole thing out my arm?!?! Just had to put a new one on but I'm dreading tonight cos dex change nights always go really badly and I get no sleep AND I HAVE A GCSE PAPER TOMORROW. So that's super fun 😻

This is a really good day (blood glucose wise) for me. This is not an easy task tbh.

Flat lines are for dead people & that applies to many aspects of my life, ups and downs, again and again.

TRANS, DISABLED, ND, CHRONICALLY ILL REQ FOR ASSISTANCE

hey i’m max, i am a multiply disabled queer who is really struggling right now with my worsening condition and mobility, my health, and dysphoria

i’m looking to fundraise towards wheelchair costs (either the chair itself and the all terrain power wheels, or if i’m lucky and the nhs will fund it, just the wheels. i’m not holding out hope because they denied me a disabled permit based on my weight which is irrelevant to WHY i applied, and is also not remediable due to my pain and risk of dislocating, the reason i applied…)

injection ports for my insulin as sensory issues prevent me from injecting and it’s damaging my health

for chest reduction, i don’t want a full double mastectomy as i am enby and genderfluid, but my chest is very large, causes me medical issues also and is causing deep dysphoria, body disconnect, and depression. i have had to refrain from,, **removing** them myself

gender care service to access testosterone, safely alongside my multiple conditions, but also discreetly due to living at home still and not having support in my trans identity

i will need home adaptations when i move out, meaning i can’t rent and so i want to save money to place a deposit on an accessible home and adaptive changes

these are listed in priority, the top two being my main priorities as my health is in danger.

any help is greatly appreciated, reblogs and comments too.

my paypal is below thank you 🫶🫶

This is the only safe place for me to ask this,

T1d, heds, and pots. Specifically

What are England, Australia, and New Zealand like for the above-mentioned disabilities?

Self pay + US "Healthcare" is ruining my life and I have so little quality of life that moving might be necessary.

For reference, I am a citizen of England and Australia.

[t1d-culture-is]

t1d culture is saying "wanna see a really cool rollercoaster??" to your non-t1d friends and then showing them your cgm graph thingy

me but saying "I have such a cool pic of the mountains" instead..... /light-hearted

Specifying a type of diabetes when saying crap like 'lol this fic is going to give you type 1 diabetes!' does not, in fact, make you sound smarter

It makes you sound dumb

NO type of diabetes is caused by eating excessive sugar! Get this through your heads please

*type 2 is at least EXACERBATED by high carbohydrate diets, not that that's an excuse to keep using this stupid phrasing. But type 1 has NOTHING to do with dietary sugars at all!
