@OooooKayKay @dexcom This wasnt completely the fault of the pharmacy....there was a national shortage of Dexcoms for a few weeks. Luckily they were able to figure it out

[BlackDiabeticJourney @BlackDiabetic]

I walked into the Pharmacy to pick up my prescription only to be told that the Dexcom G7 is on back order for another two months. Great job @dexcom

@type1christine Same here...makes no sense.

[BlackDiabeticJourney @BlackDiabetic]

Who has the OmniPod 5? I am currently in training to get it so I need some feedback...

[BlackDiabeticJourney @BlackDiabetic]

The All-In-4 Dental Implants....what has been your experience in obtaining them? The insurance, surgery, post surgery?

[BlackDiabeticJourney @BlackDiabetic]

A1C is currently 6.8!! The lowest it's been in years....gotta celebrate the hard work!

[BlackDiabeticJourney @BlackDiabetic]

When your blood sugar sits at 232 for 5 hours and doesn't move, no matter how much insulin you take.....

[BlackDiabeticJourney @BlackDiabetic]

I put my Dexcom G7 on yesterday and my arm just grazed the corner of the wall and ripped it off...it sucks.

Awhile back, someone told me that my profile looks like I give advice while sitting in a leather chair with 1000 leather bound books, a glass of scotch and a half smoked cigar betwixt my fingers...

@kamaria_jasmine Hopefully the flavor was still in it

[BlackDiabeticJourney @BlackDiabetic]

Who has neuropathy in your hands or feet and how do you manage it?

[BlackDiabeticJourney @BlackDiabetic]

I recently had a discussion about how "healthy" it is for me to drink Scotch as a T1D, due to its lack of carbs...yes, there are calories but...just mind your business.

[T1International @t1international]

People with type 1 diabetes can eat sugar, so long as they're able to access a healthy, balanced diet while maintaining their insulin intake and exercise appropriately. Stigma and myths about diabetes mean that, too often, people with the condition get blamed or judged.

@thelongptgirl He is an attention seeker...no way he can survive that

[BlackDiabeticJourney @BlackDiabetic]

@SpaceGirlSoozi I will report back with the results soon...#genius

[BlackDiabeticJourney @BlackDiabetic]

When non diabetics ask about my A1C but get the name wrong....ive heard ACS, D12, A-whatchamacallit....

Hi guys! Anyone know any really good dieticians that specialise in diabetes in young people, and that fake medical aid?

It’s urgent. Please let me know, and please RT, my dietitian could be on your TL.
