You’re so fucking stupid

[Wildfire Whispers @WildfireWhisper]

My son developed type 1 diabetes when he was 2, diagnosis was 6 weeks after a well visit. (Had we not been trying to potty train and realized how much he was urinating, he would have died)

He was four when diagnosed with Tourette’s, less than 2 weeks after another.

I can not prove vax injury, I didn’t even know to look till years later, but I have come to deeply suspect it.

Medtronic Guardian 4 is actually the most useless, and in fact most DANGEROUS piece of medical equipment it’s ever been my displeasure to use @Medtronic @MDT_Diabetes

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

Hey so if I keep turning basal back on (bc my sensor continues to read low) maybe I don’t want it to randomly and silently to turn off as soon as I go to sleep, only to turn back on once I’m already 209…

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

Bruh I’m definitely NOT the first diabetic to be pregnant why are these doctors acting like it’s so hard to coordinate with each other 😭

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

@allysonshughes I will in the morning, my last sensor cut out today after they were already closed. But I don’t think they have Guardian 4s unfortunately.

Of course this one stopped working early 🙃

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

Does anyone use the Guardian 4 sensor around the Kansas City area? This is an emergency please

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

Sensors have been lost in the mail for a week… after supplier delayed shipping for a week… after new PA & script took 1.5 weeks to procure… after I fought with insurance for a week about what suppliers I can use…

I’ve been trying to get sensors for over a month now 😭😭

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

Pls. Literally having a breakdown rn. I’m pregnant I just need to know what my blood sugar is 😭

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

Me pump hasn’t been giving me insulin for the last two hours… omg

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

Hey @MDT_Diabetes @medtronic if your sensors are going to fail early almost every time you need to send replacements in a timely manner. Why have I been waiting for MONTHS to get replacements? I am out of my normal 3mo supply

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

Literally in the middle of a high risk pregnancy and Medtronic can’t get me sensors ffs

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

They literally do say this to us though? Lol

[celia @_celia_bedelia_]

Can I ask why y’all don’t have the “OMG SYNTHETIC HORMONES ARE BAD” when it comes to diabetics and insulin?

Curious, what the issue is here 🤔

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

Y’all I am 11 weeks pregnant and have been STRESSING about my blood sugars bc of the baby. My a1c is 5.6 🥹 all this anxiety is fr messing with me bc I’ve felt like I’ve done a horrible job 😭

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

YA’LL

[CNN @CNN]

A weekly dose of semaglutide, the key ingredient in blockbuster medications Ozempic and Wegovy, helped seven out of 10 patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes stop taking insulin after three to six months in a small study https://t.co/bzUQAWPLta

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

So I got sent a dead CGM transmitter… I’ve been using a normal meter in the meantime and generally doing really well!

Haha well today decided to fix that for me and I went from 461 to 38 👍🏽

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

@charlie_lon I do not think I’m the person you think I am

[Insulin Thot @YoungT1D]

I’m really tired of people blaming me for a disease I can’t control just because it shares a name with a disease associated with poor diet and exercise. Can’t we please rename it? Like fr?

[M @emsplanations]

Sometimes I think about the fact that I look death in the face every damn day and beat that shit down with a juice box and some fruit snacks and it’s just, like, a normal part of my life. What the heck.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Drugmaker Eli Lilly will cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month.

The change takes effect immediately for people on private insurance — and the uninsured. The cap puts them in line with a provision in the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped the cost for certain seniors.
