Tons of rules. Procedures. None of which were followed, of course.

I just saw they’re partnering with Woolrich. I’ve inherited real Woolrich from my grandma, and I already know they’re devaluing themselves just by partnering with Target. I don’t expect them to be any good.

I’m not saying that complaining on the internet is always the right choice. I am saying that under *some coincidence* after posting a scathing review of the twiist insulin pump rollout under their ads, mine is being shipped tomorrow.

Me: awesome! Novofine needles don’t give me welts like the stupid BD needles!

Novofine: well now I’m not going to make them anymore. 😑

Out of the hospital, back on insulin!

I can’t have ranch dressing because I’m on the diabetic diet. This only matters because I can’t have ranch, but they brought me regular coke for lunch? Nothing makes sense.
Also, I’m on 300mg Effexor daily and haven’t been getting it. You don’t cold turkey that shit.

I’m just complaining. Monday night got admitted to the hospital from the ER. I’m still here. They haven’t given me any long acting insulin. They won’t give me insulin for carbs. Only blood sugar. I can’t speak with the ordering physician. Since Monday morning I have eaten 1 apple and 1 orange.

And the misinformation out there putting all types against each other like they don’t ALL suck. “I have to take care of my type 2 so I don’t get type 1” and “at least my type 1 isn’t caused by the sin of obesity” both have a lot to unpack.

Can we also talk about why girls/women in the south get dressed up in dresses, full makeup and jewelry, for college football games.

I’ve been trying to get in touch with my doctor for 3 days. I don’t even have any meds I could try.

I know it’s not a permanent solution. I just need to be propped up by pharmaceuticals until I can find/fix the real issue.

Can I please have a body that isn’t CONSTANTLY doing stupid shit?

I really don’t know how I’m supposed to keep functioning for another month with this headache, from a suspected csf leak. Everything hurts and I want to throw up.

I got stuck in the Atlanta snow/ice event in 2014. I eventually made it to my parents’ house, but bc I didn’t live there had no backup insulin and my pump was almost out. I ended up using some Humalog that was slightly yellow. Somehow still alive.

No, we have that program at MY work. I’m pretty sure you’re not in LTC pharmacy.

I don’t go to work today. I slept through my alarms, plural. I slept until 2PM when I went low. My dog hates the Libre alarms so I got up. Ate, back to sleep. My whole body still hurts. The only things getting me through are puppy dog cuddles and kitty purrs.

2 days ago I was vomiting harder than I ever have in my life. My whole body still hurts. I just traveled by plane from Pittsburgh to Atlanta and my head is threatening to implode. And spine. If I DO have a csf leak I probably made that worse. I’m feeling ragey that I have to show up to work tomorrow

My non-celiac mother had the same food I did and she was totally fine.

Pancreassassin @pancreassassin.bsky.social · 12d

I think there was gluten in my gluten free dinner last night. I started throwing up violently after eating it. My blood sugar decided to plummet to 44 and I thought that was going to be it for me. I’d swallow a Smarties candy and it would come back up. Thankfully I’m alive, but quite unhappy.

I told her it was fine. Kids are curious and I’m not self conscious about it. She apologized again.

I was at a football game today and there was a boy about 2 years old sitting behind me. He kept asking his dad what my Libre was, but dad didn’t know. Eventually I turned around and told him I have diabetes and the thing on my arm helps me stay healthy. His mother looked mortified.

I can smell it on some of the kids at camp, and residents when I do vaccines.

Pancreassassin @pancreassassin.bsky.social · 14d

I’ve always had a pretty good sense of smell, but I’ve hit a new thing: I can smell when my mother has an upset stomach. I can smell the extra stomach acid/gasses when she has indigestion. What in the actual heck is that about?

I have a great recommendation for a steak dinner. I’m a vegetarian, but I’m sure this is the same as what you’re used to.

I did a half day at work and then went to a neurologist for my constant headache. He’s pretty sure it’s a csf leak. Fantastic.

This still isn’t the worst birthday I’ve had, but people keep saying “and on your birthday?!?” like my body cares.
