It took long enough but I finally made my very first mobile app - and it’s a lil insulin dosing calculator :-) It’s got a long way to go before it is what I’m imagining in my head but I’ll take those small victories!

Day 3 highs when looking at DIY Loop data. I've tweeted about it before but finally wrote a blog post if you're into mega dorky diabetes data analysis. https://t.co/TBEwBxEOlf #type1diabetes #NDAM #t1dData

And the extra crappy part is that we are the lucky ones who manage to have access to the best diabetes tech out there. Many do not.

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

Insulin is not the only expensive part of having diabetes. Just picked up 3 months of insulin pump supplies. Retail price: $2100. Our insurance costs >$2000/mo and I still had to pay $412 out of pocket. This is insane. #NDAM #T1D

And there’s also CGM supplies and expensive endocrinologist appts and extra medical testing…

@Kidfears99 I thought a couple of the big manufacturers were planning to cap prices... when is that going to happen? (and is it really going to happen??)

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

Is it a pattern? Or not? I am starting to think the trend in the Loop data is not rly there. Dataset is way too small plus the very first month looping probs isn't representative of where it'll end up. #NDAM #t1d #DIYLoop

@MiriamETucker (I’ve never actually done well enough consistently to think I’ve got it all figured out… 😭)

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

@MiriamETucker This just happened with my daughter! Just when I thought I had it all figured out…🙄

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

@aimee_nott_amy Eww!

@loopingntheloup We just started our 6yo daughter on DIY loop in September. It has been a learning experience but we are overall really happy with it! I don’t know much about iAPS or AAPS though…

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

Once again, how is this even legal. Unbelievable. Ours looks similar; thankfully we have (insanely expensive!!) insurance, but this is just so wrong.

“Democrats capped insulin prices.”

The absolute fuck you did, @BillPascrell.

As of October 28, my insulin is priced at $2,267.99 for a 3 month supply.

@vgwschutte @rejectedbanana The dream team!

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

@vgwschutte @rejectedbanana This is so cool you guys. I love seeing the progress! :-)

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

So grateful for having access to amazing tech but it is a bummer to have the omnipod siren start up while we’re out for dinner. 🚨 Alma was a trooper, even though she really didn’t want to leave her friends 😢 #Type1Diabetes

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

@rejectedbanana @vgwschutte @TiniScientific Cooooool!

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

@kennedeileerose @BBWharperxbrad It is so awful that anyone has to ration insulin. I’m so sorry 💙

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

So good to know! Third day highs are a thing (sometimes…). One month of data from one person (Alma) is a small dataset. But here is anecdotal data from several…

[Jazz Sethi @Jazzsethi95]

Is it just me or do other who have been wearing a pump for 5+ years notice less insulin absorption on their last 6-7 hours of their site.

I immediately get back into range the moment I change on day 3!

Or is my body just weird?? 🤪

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

@Jazzsethi95 We are DIY looping though so I did wonder if the omnipod algorithm maybe takes that into account. I don’t remember ever noticing that trend using Omnipod 5.

[Mich W*.* @michellejw]

@Jazzsethi95 I pulled a month of data and plotted it (BG vs time since pod change) and I’d say it is def a thing!
