I'm the burnt out library staff member you were warned about. The many adventures of a tired type 1 diabetic [Tslim x2 & G7].

Chronic Yapper with bad grammar.

In other news I got over 15k steps on my walking pad 😅. Ofc I was trying to work on something very detailed & important... and that did not happen 🫠.

Haven't had this big of a bump in a while. Possibly since I mis-dosed on pumpkin bread last year & my infusion set popped out. Should have done about 9 units up front but chickened out and only did 6.66 as I didn't want to go low. Now I know I definitely wasn't going to at least 😅.

I am 100% considering it once its G7 & Android compatible. Just hope its covered by my insurance. Supposedly Omnipod Dash is 100% covered but Omnipod 5 isn't. So my Endo wouldn't prescribe the Dash lol even though I gladly would have tested it before I went with Tandem.

I am Android, but I use the app Gluroo to send my glucose info from my G7 to my Galaxy Watch. Works well for me though the dream would be a functional pump app on my watch, I can't even get it on my phone because Verizon & Samsung forced my phone to OS 16 even with it shut off in 3 places 🙄.

Ah okay. Unfortunately this already happens in a lot of other countries. So this isn't too surprising. We are "a drain on the system" it's why preexisting conds. & high risk pools are always at stake with the ACA. Ppl assume it won't hurt them & a lot of times it will just not as bad as diabetics.

Yeah, to some degree I did it to myself because I ate a higher carb meal than usual & potentially could have been more agressive in my dosing, but I had been running lower after meals lately so I was concerned I would tank lol. I have already gone low once on hold with Tandem & that was awkward.

What's this about/from? Like where'd you hear about it?

Maybe when Tandem comes out with their "care" app it will be a feature. Since it will allow people to follow the pump [highly requested apparently]. It works as a patch for folks who use Libre's too since they don't have a follow app like Dexcom.

I mean it was even in the original version of the IRA & Republicans on the fincial committee chose to remove that before it was passed claiming it was too costly & out of scope to include everyone.

There's someone who was told they had to quit their job because their state [state job] doesn't allow them to work in their own system more than 40 hours in order to intern but they do not want to go into non-public sector work.

They do not care about experience in the field & its nuts.

It's the "your boss left, & other people will do their work, but we are going to create more work, & a committee, but the committee won't be too extra work."... but it is, it's so much more. Then anything you do for fun? You should drop that. The thing that keeps you from quitting? Drop that.

The worst part is it's not meanness, it's not anything straightforward. It's the "do more with less" when there's never been more. I've been at this damn place, applied & got better jobs & pay, 12 years & it never got actually better. The better pay meant more stress & less enjoyment.

& its the time for it, + having to manage health issues that already impact my job on top of the internship. Choosing not to eat bC I cant function high, but I cant walk to my car with IOB. I end up working later & later because we are understaffed but still have to find 12 hrs for the internship.

Everything to be on the device itself & not the cloud after we had the AWS outage earlier this week. Separately, at least most pumps can run basal if the phone stops working, but of course, if you can't feel highs or lows that makes it difficult to trust that nothing is going to go wrong.

Its release & killed 3 iPhone batteries with that which is part of why I finally switched to Android [prior to pumping by 3 years] & wasn't planning to go back. Kinda stinks most of the newest tech is all iPhone only, but also phone only. I never thought I would be grateful that the FDA requires
