Friend: cute wallet that also works as a phone case and fits in her pocket
Me: backpack sized bag, wallet, phone, spare site change, spare sensor site change, sensor battery charger, spare pump batteries, syringes, glucometer, extra strips, and snacks.

@TypeOneChic You can find hydrocolloid bandages on Amazon! I haven’t found them in higher counts than 20 though. Never thought to use them on dexcom sites!
Interact with this tweet if you think reviving this account would be worth it! Switching pump systems this month and I would love to share my experiences. 😊
* bonus points if you tag your favorite T1D account so I can follow! *
people on instagram be like correct, check ketones, water, and REST for high BG meanwhile I’m like RAGE BOLUS and continue work/life/etc as planned but just like more irritably
@alexjay39 @DiabetesBros Just went through this same thing! I also starting gaining weight, worse glucose control, and had a lot of sore injection sites. Not detrimental reactions but long story short.. proved I had an allergy to it and now they’re forced to cover novolog.
@t1ddiary I currently work in an ED as a nurse tech, and I have two semesters left of nursing school with the same goal at the beginning. I strongly suggest!!! Usually need 1-2 years minimum experience as a nurse, preferably in a specialty, before an NP program will accept you.
@Type1Probs Just went through the same debate.. I went from shots to the 670G closed loop system and it makes my life so much easier. I don’t have to always think about how my day will affect my BG, the pump does it for me!
@DiabeticDivaa Yes!! When I have sites on my leg i gotta be careful taking shorts down to pee, and days after changing it I’m still so cautious about it 😂😂
