Have You Been Treated With Tzield? If So, How Did It Go? Did You Have Any Side-effects? How Much Insulin Are You Using Post-treatement?
Has Anyone Ever Tried To Extend The Life Of Their Sensor For Longer Than 10 Days? I've Seen On Facebook Little Tricks On How To Do This.
You can. Using the G6
Just need to keep the sensor number handy. Remove the transmitter and wait 10 minutes.
Start like it’s new. Reinstall transmitter and wait your 2 hour warmup. 🤷♂️

Is It Bad/dangerous To Be Upping Pre-meal Short Acting Insulin Doses?
Got diagnosed last month with immunotherapy-induced T1D, as a result of immunotherapy treatment (Keytruda) for recurrence of synchronous uterine and ovarian cancers (tried to avoid repeat of 6-month-long chemotherapy). Odds of T1D side effect are 0.5% but I got it. It’s been a month since my surprising diagnosis and I am still wrapping my head and arms around everything. Would greatly appreciate any tips and wisdom. Thank you!
Oooh - I am so sorry! I have the same story - different cancer, but same keytruda outcome. I am 3.5 years in. Please be patient with yourself! It's a long learning curve, it will never be perfect, but… read more
I've Posted Several Times About My 18 Year Old Struggling With Constant Highs. 300-400. He Increases The Basal Rate On His Pump Frequently.
Gives extra insulin with meals. We watch his diet closely and he does exercise. His doctor added long acting Lantus but so far he isn't showing any benefit from it. They are doing research trials on using glp1s on type 1's. Has anyone tried this? If so did it help? I'm at my wits end and constantly worried!
He uses the Dexcom G6 and Omnipod 5. I am having to strongly advocate for him with his doctor right now which is unusual. I pushed until she added the Lantus. Now I am pushing to try a different rapid… read more

How Can I Stay In My Goal Range When Experiencing Stress And Pain?
My physiology has always had an effect on my sugar levels. When I used to have my cycle- my numbers would be higher. Same with stress or anxiety
But now, those numbers are beginning to skyrocket when I’m experiencing those emotions. And pain has become a newcomer to the group
A trip to the MVA to renew my license kind of turned into a situation because I didn’t have an appointment. Didn’t know I needed one. Nothing in the paperwork. I hadn’t been there for 8 years- so I was not aware!
