T1D Girl

Life is tuff, especially if you have T1D. I created this Twitter to share my thoughts and feeling about life with the disease.

My dog is also diabetic (ikr) and tonight I tried to get him insulin from Walmart but they were out and won’t get any more until Tuesday. So I guess he is going to take some of mine. Like how could they be out of insulin? Even though it’s bad insulin people could die without it

I love how on prescription commercials they think $15 is too much to pay for a prescription. #ifonly #diabetes

I just about did a 25 UNIT bolus not a 25 CARB bolus 😬😬😬😬 the virus won’t kill me, I will #diabeticproblems

I’m a very crafty person... so I decided to make my own pump skin! I love how it turned out!!

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

Had a virtual edno app the other day and we changed some settings on my pump and I feel like a new person! My bgs haven’t gone over 160 for the last couple of days 🙌

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

The one nice thing about a pump is using it as a flashlight in the middle of the night... you know other than it saving my life on a daily basis

You know what’s weird - finding a piece of my midnight low snack in my pj pants... 2 nights later 🤔

I literally just thought about eating something and my bg went from ⬇️ to ⬆️ #diabeticproblems

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

I have a love/hate relationship with my dexcom and pump #diabetes

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

Got a major bleeder when I changed my dexcom, so I changed it out again got a little blood the 2nd time and after 45 min my dexcom still won’t connect. Also was on hold to @dexcom for 40 min and decided to just hang up cause that was going nowhere #whatdoIdo

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

Why are @dexcom support people so hard to understand??? 😩

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

Why does insulin have to smell soooo bad 🤢 #diabeticproblems

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

I haven’t had a day this good in a long time, and I have to tell ya, it feels really good #diabetes

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

I am really craving hot chocolate, but don’t want to deal with all the sugar. What do you suggest??? #pleasehelp #diabeticproblems

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

Update: I also have strep throat and bgs are all over the place

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

I have an ear infection, lymph nodes are swollen and bg is 395. I just all around feel crappy 🤒

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

Today was my only day this week to sleep in, and what happened???? I HAD A LOW BG 1 HOUR BEFORE MY ALARM WAS TO GO OFF 😭😭😭😭

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

My arm itches SOOOO bad under my Dexcom. It is taking everything inside of me to not rip it off just to scratch it #diabeticproblems

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

Layed down in bed and then I remembered that I needed to change my pump 😫😭 #diabeticproblems

[T1D Girl @GirlT1d]

Accidentally forgot to put my pump back on after my shower for about an hour 😬 bg is 113 🙌 happy but so confused #diabeticproblems
