Type 1 Millennial

t1d since ‘94

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

I have a friend who had her pancreas removed & is now Type 1. Does anyone have any resources for this type of diabetes??? She has extreme periods of stubborn lows & highs. I think it may be called brittle diabetes. I can’t find anyone who specializes in this specifically.

I love turning on Do Not Disturb for the weekend.

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

@BazingaKatie I can relate to this. I was dx’d at 5 & whenever we’d be out to eat, my dad would make me go to the bathroom to test my sugar or do an injection. It made me feel shameful.

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

What’s one of the first t1 diabetes trauma you experienced?

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

@UKSaulGoodman Oh my goodness!!!! I bet you learned the difference between the insulin types after that! Shit! I’m so sorry!

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

@Andy06593781 Oh wow. I can so relate. They definitely don’t get it & are too textbook sometimes.

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

Of course, I start with ZERO insulin *on-board* & I always disconnect.

What do all you fellow t1d peeps do prior to spinning?

I have a Peleton & im trying to find the “sweet spot” before taking a 30-min class. So far, drinking a banana protein shake & waiting for my bs to get to ~250 gets me though 90% - 98% of class 😱

@findinggg @type1christine Exactly

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

@peaspod23 @type1christine How the fuck do you guys get “stock piles” of insulin???

@luvtatertots420 A “diabetic attack?” Eww wtf so lame.

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

I wish the glycemic index was on everything.

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

When I was diagnosed in 1994, I was told that my pancreas didn’t work. Period.

That’s fucked up.

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

the only resources I can find on *type 3c diabetics* are on people who still have their pancreas, unfortunately. (Fortunately for them, unfortunately for us lol)

@Type1journey @BenCostiloe Oh wow. Good to know! Glad it helps you. Weed will often make my hands & feet extremely cold so I wonder why that happens to me.

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

Can we talk about smoking weed as a t1d?

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

@hellokitty1211 So funny! I need a good chart to show them conversions.

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

Me when I see someone’s blood sugar in mmol/L

[Type 1 Millennial @Type1Millennial]

@BenCostiloe Hmmm really? I’ve taken long breaks & never noticed this.
