Did you know about this diabetes history? youtu.be/rjsVikFg9I8
Did you know that the Abbott Instinct sensor can't be used for treatment decisions for the first 12 hours? yep, it's true, I read the manual. Medtronic MiniMed keeps trying to get me to switch, but I'm sticking with the Guardian 4. youtu.be/nXqYe09wKUc
erratic insulin needs can be a difficult struggle! new video out about this. #T1D youtu.be/28paLO8Tp1s?...

The complete recipe. I made a few changes, used less cheese and olives than it called for. Also used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. www.allrecipes.com/recipe/23176...
Happy New Year! Wishing you and your family all the best in the new year. Here's to many healthy meals, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and special moments.
This 7-layer dip was fun to make! Refried beans, salsa, green onions, sour cream, cheese, olives.. I'll thread the recipe :)
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and wishing everyone the best in the new year! youtu.be/uwelHgBA-Mc
This was yesterday. I did my best! That's all you can ever do. Diabetes is challenging.

it's that time of day where I wait to brush my teeth until I see that my blood sugar goes up... got to see if I got that double dinner bolus right. (otherwise I end up brushing my teeth, treating a low, and having to brush again 😩 ) #diabetes #LADA

MiniMed 780G Insulin Pump with "No Paired CGM" notice and Guardian 4 transmitter on its charging base.
My transmitter finally failed. This time I was prepared with a replacement one. Whew.
It's scary not having a working CGM. The MiniMed 780G insulin pump works really well when the tech is working. Can't believe insulin pumps without a CGM was a thing. I'd go through so many test strips...
✈️ Every time I fly, I think I’ve covered all my bases with my insulin pump… and then diabetes throws me a curveball.
This tiny post-flight habit has saved me from hours of frustrating highs.
