Went to #HarpersFerry with friends to #tube today. Reached into my pocket to check my pump afterward and pulled this out.

Cool.

Welp.

Guess we’re heading home, 1.5 hours away.

I had coffee, chocolate milk, a granola bar, a glass of OJ, French toast with syrup, a Gu gel, another granola bar, a beer, & 3 mini pizzas today. I only bolused ~2.67u all day.

I also #biked 16.7 mi & burned 1,700 calories.

I’ve noticed on days I #cycle that I just shouldn’t bolus, or else I end up super #hypo.

Once again, #Dexcom, I must insist that you go fuck yourself and your sleep thievery.

Great fucking work, #Tandem #ControlIQ

Just once in my GD life I’d like to be able to finish a task from start to finish without having to pause to give attention to this needy fucking disease.

Don’t know about you but I love getting woken up multiple times by a death siren warning me of my impending doom, only to find out it is full of shit. My BG is 115 mg/dL, btw.

Oof, that’s the shortest length of time I’ve had a #Dexcom #G7 #CGM sensor in me before removing it. Just burning for 12-ish hours. Let’s try this again.

#Dexcom. Because why WOULD you want to know your BG?

Must be day 10

I made the rookie mistake yesterday of saying out loud that my #gastroparesis hasn’t been bad this last week and as a result my BG has been much better. Instant inexplicable 350mg/dL insulin-resistant response to the same dinner we eat every week with no issues.

I want off this ride.

Well fuck if I ever eat a Philly cheesesteak again. #WTAF

I’m starting to understand self-destructive behavior. It is so much easier to tear it all down when you have a body that constantly lets you down and undermines you in your daily life, stealing the most invaluable thing you have: time.

It is escapist, but I get it.
#T1D #Type1Diabetes #Diabetes #DiabeticProblems

Me: works outside in the garden, hauling a literal ton of topsoil, building planter boxes, burning 3,000 calories, BG 90%+ in range.

Also me: stands in the sun for 10 minutes, BG falls off a cliff and sets off every phone/pump alarm.

Drinking OJ at 181 mg/dL because you just know your body is up to some bullshit.

My body has decided to digest my dinner promptly tonight, along with the OJ, wheat thins, and craisins I ate over the course of a 2.5 hour hypo (ending 4 hours ago) when it WASN’T digesting, and now I’m 310 and rising.

My mental health will kill me if my T1D & gastroparesis don’t first.
