#Type1Diabetes is ruthless and relentless. Don’t forget to remind yourself that you are brave and strong for dealing with it. It’s easy to get discouraged, but you face it everyday. You are truly a diabadass💪

@laurengranata @Kidfears99 I should have stayed on the G5! But I am glad I can take Tylenol again and the insertion is much, much easier.

I have NEVER been so upset with @dexcom. 3 consecutive sensor failures, leaving me without my CGM until Tuesday. Customer technician was rude and didn’t listen to me at all. 😪😪😪

[Megan | Type 1 Diabetic Diary @t1ddiary]

@Kidfears99 @CaliforniaT1D @dexcom Yes I am on the G6!

[Megan | Type 1 Diabetic Diary @t1ddiary]

@MidAmericanMom I’ve been on Medtronic’s early CGMs so I can’t speak for them currently, but Dexcom is usually amazing. It’s revolutionized my life.
Summer heat will definitely mess with your trends! Stay hydrated and stick with a good carb/protein balance.

[Megan | Type 1 Diabetic Diary @t1ddiary]

@ShariWiltrout That’s a great idea! I’ll have to look into that.

[Megan | Type 1 Diabetic Diary @t1ddiary]

@jpnairn @yhfncmkdken @sisterhoebot @dexcom To be fair, I’ve been on Dexcom for 3 years and it’s revolutionized my life. I haven’t been hospitalized and my a1c went from a 10 to a 6. I’m having issues, yes, but I don’t foresee myself examining other options anytime soon.

Online supportive would have been a lot better than the hour I spent on the phone with rude customer service!

This is the only genuine headline I’ve seen regarding the Colorado law.

Price caps on drugs are the only way insulin will ever truly be affordable. Insurance companies will find eventually find loopholes.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

The price of insulin is surging. This state is the first to make insurance companies eat the cost. https://t.co/aRecr6Qvdx

@lexi_foote It’s the absolute worst! I rage bolus, but it won’t even drop me enough to correct and go back in range. 🙃

[Megan | Type 1 Diabetic Diary @t1ddiary]

I used to let overnight highs like this ruin my day. Now I’ve learned to let it go and remember that I am human, and life with Type 1 Diabetes is never easy.

[Megan | Type 1 Diabetic Diary @t1ddiary]

I fully support this new “period emoji” but I also really think it’s appropriate to diabetics 😂

500%!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME

[Megan | Type 1 Diabetic Diary @t1ddiary]

Hey @novonordisk, you posted this on your Instagram earlier for the #10YearChallenge and since deleted it. Your insulin prices have risen 500% over the past 10 years. You’re killing people.

I wouldn’t really call that ”consistent.”
I’d call it “murder.”
