So often when you calibrate the Dexcom, the next reading is a full 30% higher than the number you entered. It's like you work for the Dexcom algorithm and not vice versa. #diabetes #t1d
A very quick explanation of what I haven't accomplished on my #T1D memoir project over the past 5 months. Features memory of the best job I ever had, a map of Gates, NY, and some exciting research success. #diabetes #chronicillness #type1diabetes
Note to coffee shops: do not play Christmas mixes. You make me lose. #whamageddon
Morning. #t1d #diabetes
This came in the box with my new insulin pump. For the record, no one holding an insulin pump is ever as happy as that lady. Or her dog. #t1d #diabetes
Late to the party, but just watched The Human Trial (2022) by @lisahepner.bsky.social - moving documentary about stage 2 study of the ViaCyte insulin-producing cells. Available free on Hoopla - thanks, local library!
Real science is slow. Easy solutions are grifts. #t1d #diabetes
Sadly I no longer live in a city with Wegmans, but the rest is normal for me, too!
If you're not familiar with the podcast ologies.bsky.social, it's always great. This episode in particular, while not about #diabetes per se, speaks to #chronicillness generally as they discuss MS specifically.
(There's also an excellent two-parter on diabetes).
A nice weekend at Allerton Park in Monticello, IL for my wife's birthday. A nice place for post-meal sugar-control walks! #t1d #diabetes #allerton
Thanks!
I really feel this. I found the original Hoover article from the Diabetes Educator. Where does this pic come from? Is it in a book? Thanks.
This is exactly it: to do everything right and still have it go wrong. #t1d #diabetes #chronicillness

It took me so long to figure out I could turn off the "critical alerts" if it was giving me false lows, but before that, I was practically begging my endo, "just let me prick my finger 20 times a day. It's better than this!"
Sorry to hear. That’s so unreasonable!
The only time I've ever torn pump tubing was on an airport bathroom stall door five minutes before boarding. Fast replacement and barely made flight (they had to reopen the jetway door for me). No fun!
"Diabetes device distress" is both alliterative and incessant in all the ways named in this article! #T1D #type1diabetes
Thanks!
In my latest post, I think out loud about diabetic “control,” its necessity, and the profound alienation it creates. Features a comic drawing and a story about spilling blood in a baseball stadium. #t1d #diabetes #chronicillness
How are Americans with #type1diabetes doing? Results are mixed. www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...
The 1940 version of Elliott Joslin's "Diabetic Creed." There were lots of versions, varying with each new edition of the textbook _Diabetes Mellitus_. Mostly advice to doctors on diagnosis and treatment, some moral judgments and eugenics appear, too! #diabetes #t1d #history
Yes to both of these things! Happy diaversary.
tv algorithm: we've noticed you've never once, since we've known you, ever watched a horror movie
me: correct
tv algorithm: so we figure that's because you've never heard of them, here's a different upsetting visual every time you turn us on, hope you love it!!
Further cautious hope for islet cell transplantation. #T1D #diabetes
It’s true in main, and it’s helpful to remind diabetics to take care. But given that we diabetics often grow up with this stark moral opposition, it’s no wonder we’re exhausted and slightly neurotic. #t1d #diabetes #chronicillness

Why I don't use closed-loop: Exhibit 1. #T1D #diabetes #insulinpump
My grandma used to give us wrapped boxes of Lucky Charms for Christmas. At Christmas 1987 (5 months after diagnosis), my brother unwrapped his box as normal. I unwrapped mine excitedly. It was Cheerios.
Welcome to diabetes, you little bastard. #T1D #diabetes #type1diabetes #chronicillness
