I’m pretty sure my spirit animal is either a raccoon or a beaver.
When you’re so lazy & irresponsible you can’t even come up with a specific person or thing to blame for all the “unnecessary death” that you caused, so you just say “somebody a long time ago decided not to do it that way.” Somebody. A long time ago. 🤦🏼♂️
We’ve gone from crawling to walking, but we need more knowledge, better understanding, and better tools before we can hope to really run. The other option is going to be to shrug and accept that what we’ve got is “good enough” 😕 /End Rant
The math for #insulin dosing is already too complex for humans to handle. We need automation, and the automation still has lots of room to improve. Better tools (faster insulin analogs) are going to be necessary too.
What’s the calculation for an insulin to fat ratio? How should a fat-covering bolus be timed? What about protein? I feel that with answers to these questions, the #wearenotwaiting crowd could take the baton and crank out better algorithms for dosing.
We still need to improve our understanding of differences in macronutrient metabolism. We need more basic research and then better models based on that research.
While I can get my TIR and other control measures where I want them, I’m coloring outside the lines based on faulty and simplistic assumptions and calculations in order to get there.
We need better tools. My miscalculations were pragmatic- based on achieving the desired results based on imperfect data and overly simplistic models and tools, because NOBODY is looking at how to account for macronutrients other than carbohydrates.
#T1D Things I learned today: 1) my insulin duration is about twice as long as I thought it was. 2) my insulin sensitivity is higher than I thought it was 3) my misconceptions were likely due to an inability to account for protein, fat, and fiber.
Is attempting to be super social and “exercise it out” an appropriate method of dealing with crippling depression??? Asking for a friend...
Anyone else have this kind of relationship with Rachel? Lmao. We all do, right? This was after 2 nights of lows. 😅
It’s one of those weeks where I wish there were 5 more of me to get everything done that i need to get done!
When you take that amazing extended shower sans external medical device between CGM sensor changes! #sogood
My brother once was admitted to the hospital bc he couldn’t afford his insulin for a while. He was taking expired insulin. My brother no longer has a pump because he can’t afford it. My brother can’t live an actual life because some people wanted more money.
The scientists who pioneered insulin therapy were so dedicated to making it accessible, they gave away their rights to profit from it. Yet almost a century later, the life-saving diabetes treatment is out of reach for 50 million people. What went wrong? bloom.bg/2LAb1Ez
