So I downloaded an app called gluroo on my android. I also have a galaxy watch and I've consistently had issues getting my dexcom readings on my watch. Gluroo has been great because 1. The number is big enough to see and 2. It has been consistent in connecting to the app. As an added bonus i can screen shot my graphs and info off my phone.

I don't know when this app became available but I just found out about it and wanted to share.

Factory knots

Crochet Rant

I know factory knots are a thing. I usually just deal with it. But I'm working on a fairly large project using cakes of baby blanket yarn from bernat. I'm on cake 18 of 26 and each cake has had no less than 4 knots. The current cake i am up to 17 knots! I'm only half way through this cake!

I don't want to be a Karen about things but this is ridiculous. I sent an email to yarnspirations about it. I'm over this project and over the knots.

Thanks for listening to me piss and moan. I appreciate it πŸ˜€

I went out to eat at Wendy's with my bf. I don't normally eat fast food, so this was a treat. I ordered a junior bacon cheeseburger (I don't eat the bun) a junior fries and a junior frosty. Like I said it was a treat. We ordered at the kiosk as I don't like interacting with people much. It was also lunch time, right next to our college campus so a fair amount of people with college starting soon.

The guy running the front counter said very loudly in front of everyone "who's this junior Frosty for?" When I said it was for me, he started in how I needed at least a small, what's the point, my whole meal was for a kid and I'm clearly an adult.

I simply pointed to my dexcom and my o

So I'm on the op dash and dex g6. I've been doing great with them for a while now. Until today.

In the middle of a very important meeting at work, I get a screamer. Only my 2nd one ever. Pdm didn't stop it, so had to rip it off and stab it. After the meeting, put a new one on.

Out to dinner with my bf and I get a signal loss on my dex. I didn't bring my manual glucometer cuz I'm a dumb dumb so didn't eat much. Dex completely died so I have to change it early when I got home. Got new ones ordered for the failures.

Then just now, went to the bathroom before bed, ran into the wall and knocked my pod off. Aaaarrrrggggghhhhh.

Thank you, I feel better now. ☺️

Backordered?

Supplies

Had anyone heard of a supply issue with the dash pods? I just got a letter from my meds by mail place saying they can't fill my rx due to a shortage.

What sucks is my local pharmacy does have them, but my insurance won't cover them unless I do mail order.

Hi everyone. First time posting here. I'm 45f, t2d, 6'3" sw 265 cw 245 gw 180ish. Sa1c 15.1 ca1c 7.0 on 2.5 still.

I originally started on Oz and wowza, my body did not like that. Had to beg my endo to switch. Finally got switched to mj and the only really bad side effect I've had is the sulpher burps. For me, I just take a shot of pickle juice and they are gone.

I guess my rant is my endo was not at all happy with my numbers after six weeks. He said I should have lost more weight and that I was obviously still eating too much. He didn't seem to care about my a1c

I explained I wanted to get on mj for better sugar control. At my heaviest I was 657# that was 4 years ago. I lost

Three years ago, at this time of the morning I was calling the hospice nurse. She wasn't available but had let the service know mom was close and was trying to get someone to come. Covid had just started and hospice nurses were in short supply.

I held mom's hand. I prayed with and for her. I gave her messages to give to my daddy and brother for me. I thanked her for being my mom. I told her how much I loved her. I told her it was okay to go. She had been unresponsive for days.

The last couple of months were rough. The alzheimers had destroyed any resemblance of my mother that was left. She got angry. She hated everyone. No. ALZHEIMERS hated everyone.

Shortly before she

My new endo (old one wouldn't give the op, dex, or anything except metformin. I'm actually a t1d now that the new endo did the blood work) got me on the g6 and the dash. My insurance doesn't cover the 5 yet but I'm ok with the dash.

For the first time in almost 8 months I'm in range 98% of the day and I actually feel human!!!!! It's so much easier to bolus and I'm not running high for hours.

So I'm trying to find a good endo in my town. I am t1d. I also have hashimotos. Got recommended to go to this endo and she has great ratings. I've been to the other 2 in town and they try to treat me for t2d even though peptides confirm t1d.

I asked about getting on a pump. She recommended the op5, however my insurance doesn't cover it yet. I know and am comfortable with the dash from taking care of my mom and she had the dash. My pcp got me started on the dex g6 but only put in for a 1 month supply until I could see the endo. I asked for the endo to send in an rx for the g6 and she wanted me to go to the g7. Again, insurance doesn't cover it yet. Additionally, I thought the g7 an
