  1. Diabetes-Associated Blindness Is Due To Low Blood Sugar. Johns Hopkins preclinical studies demonstrate how hypoglycemia triggers retinal damage. #diabetes #hypoglycemia #hif #diabeticretinopathy #32134D

  2. I changed my pod site from my abdomen to my arm. I guess this is what happens when you don’t realize you’re just adjusting for excess adipose tissue.

    Today can suck it.

  3. #KnowledgeByte: Unlike traditional #Insulin injections, #Smart insulin is designed to be more responsive to the body's needs, potentially improving blood sugar control and reducing the risk of #Hypoglycemia.

  4. Welp. Lately walking Leeloo has been pulling my BG down pretty hard because I still have IOB when walking time comes. But it’s been landing appropriately and everything is fine.

    But today…

    Hypoglycemia is not fun. I made it home before it got too bad. BG is coming back up now, but still shaking and sweating.

    I bolused to my ratio as typical for dinner…

    Our bodies are dumb.

  5. Had a little extra IOB going for tonight’s dog walk and very quickly my BG dropped lower. Half way through the walk I started feeling symptoms.

    Hypoglycemia while walking the dog and about 1/4 a mile away is not fun.

    I’m all good now. I keep candy on me for stuff like this.

  6. At my check in at the weight loss clinic I asked about my low blood sugar episodes.

    Apparently the question is common enough that they had a handout already printed and ready to be handed out.

    Huh. Apparently we can chalk it up to crackers. I’ve been eating crackers a lot and lo and behold, eating crackers leads to blood sugar dive bombs in people with little butchered stomach pouches like mine.

    Crud. I like crackers and I have a cabinet full of them. Crud.

  7. CW: Diabetes related; talking about last night's scary low blood glucose

    I slept through my alarm for about 1hr, before I woke up hiccupping.

    I knew right away I was low (weird feeling in my mouth and I was not thinking properly).

    The scariest part is that when I looked at my numbers, I had leveled off at just 2.2 mmol/L.

    I am thankful for my wife's love and care. She helped me recover by grabbing a juicebox. I was too afraid and foggy to stand.

  8. CW: Medical issues rant, #T1D issues, Diabetes gripe

    Having one of those nights. Not sure if I accidentally took an additional dose of long-acting #insulin (I take a split dose= 1/2 in the am, 1/2 in the pm), if I took too much short acting, or if the fact that both are from new vials today.

    Either way, #hypoglycemia is an issue tonight. Well, it's always an issue with brittle #T1D, been an issue since I was diagnosed with #Diabetes at age 5- well over 50 years ago.

    Hypoglycemia makes me tired- fatigued and sleepy-tired, both. Well, of course- there isn't enough glucose in my bloodstream to keep everything working like it should. My brain wants to nap, but if I try, my body sends warnings via twitchy muscles, feelings of impending doom, and that wonderful "whooshy" feeling of the bed moving as adrenaline floods the body trying to tell me I need to get the fuck up and eat something.

    It's going to be a long night- long acting insulin will keep this going for 12 hours or more, short acting for 4-6 hours.

    Ugh. 😩

  9. There are many afternoons when I suddenly feel so tired and brainfoggy, I conclude that I must be getting sick. Then it occurs to me that maybe I haven't eaten enough food today. And then I eat. And then I feel better.

    Notably, the brainfoggy part has been worse in the nearly 3 months since I contracted #covid. Go figure.

  10. #hypoglycemia came to wake me up, which is not 100% surprising given the circumstances, I guess

  11. CW: Nocturnal hypoglycemia in non-diabetic

    On my second time using FreeStyle Libre glucose sensor (not a true CGM). I'm having hypoglycemia episodes in very early morning. I don't think it's due to lying on the unit as it has happened when sleeping upright in a recliner. It coincides w/ sicca. Blood sugar goes up to normal if I wake up & start moving around, sicca also improves. I have low fasting glucose & insulin, normal HbA1c.

    Anyone else have this?

  12. CW: Health scare.

    I’m an insulin dependent type 2, and had a very scary episode last night.
