26 years after dx and my a1c is the best it’s ever been #loop #WeAreNotWaiting #t1dlookslikeme #t1d

[Carling Skvarca, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C @cyborgpancreas]

While loop helped me to not think, it also led me to think 1 million unthinkable thinks. Thinks of babies and life and travel and more happiness, thinks I had never thought I should think about. I’m so thankful for these thinks. #WeAreNotWaiting #loop #t1d #t1dlookslikeme

Bartender: That’ll be $50.00 for your beer, sir.

Person: What?! I paid $5.00 for the same beer a few weeks ago! Who would jack the price up so high while selling the exact same product?!

Did you take insulin with your morning COFFEE? The blood sugar caffeine bump is a REAL thing! Handy coffee chart to help get started. PS - we're working on a version with almond milk, soy milk, lots of dairy alternatives! Let us know how you take your coffee! ☕️ #livebeyond

Shoutout to diabetics for single-handedly keeping the juice and crackers businesses afloat.

[Carling Skvarca, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C @cyborgpancreas]

@BergFulton Let me know if he’s supportive of it just in case I need to change offices!

[Beyond Type 1 @BeyondType1]

“Continuous” is INTENSE. Non-stop, in-your-face, around the clock, poking and prodding, while alarming and push notification-ing you to say, “Guess what?! YOU HAVE DIABETES AND YOU HAVE IT RIGHT NOW. AND STILL NOW. WHY AREN’T YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO ME!?” https://t.co/1YerWQ5UZD

[Megan | Type 1 Diabetic Diary @t1ddiary]

SO TRUE.

I love my Dexcom and I can’t imagine my life without it. But I will take breaks from it every so often. Why? Because it is an incessant reminder of your type 1 and it WILL become overwhelming.

Taking breaks keeps me from resenting it and it makes me appreciate it.
