Diabetes Apps!
Hi! So I just wanted to start a discussion maybe about good phone apps for diabetics.
The one I am using right now is SocialDiabetes which I really believe has helped me get more under control which I am totally grateful for. It has basically all I need and helps me log everything in and keep a close track on what is going on. It has also helped me with my routine checking!!
Anyone use anything else?

I mean I could do a blood test before bed…
Or I could just assume that everything is more or less fine.
fun things you get to experience when you have diabetes
getting to stab yourself with needles all the time for fun! except not for fun, but to keep you alive
that one oral med you’re on? yeah sometimes it’s just gonna give you diarrhea lol have fun figuring out when
your whole body being hot and cold at the same time. like you’re cold, but you’re overheated and you want to take your shirt off but if you do you get massive chills and there’s no winning
walking up the stairs when your sugar is high? more like you’ve never done squats that burn this much
really bad circulation in your extremities. like your torso is hot but your toes are fucking freezing as hell.
being told that your kidney function is “thankfully still okay” or that “you don’t have retinopathy yet”
stumbling to the kitchen in the middle of the night and having to decide which food will work best to treat a low when your brain doesn’t work and your body doesn’t work and if you don’t pick fast enough you’ll pass out and maybe die
going to bed in range and waking up feeling like hell on earth
dealing with shit like this:
and this
having to force yourself to drink water when you’re really really nauseated and want to throw up everything in your stomach. nausea so bad water makes you want to puke
ppl telling you it takes 15 minutes to recover from a low when it’s more like 2 hours before you feel like your previous self (and recovery from a really bad high takes like 3 days)
an achey body for no good reason
friends being like “we should work out together” but you’re like “how tf do I manage my blood sugar while I’m doing that”
having to push through and still go to work/school when you feel like shit
things that hurt. those pump sites and injections that feel like you’ve been stabbed. your body begging you to feed it. your eyes. your muscles. your head. your stomach. your lungs. everything hurts.
having to hear diabetes jokes “lol it was so sweet it gave me diabetes” “omg it’s like a big bowl of diabetes” SHUT THE FUCK UP THATS NOT HOW DIABETES WORKS YOU PIECE OF SHIT but having to hear it and stay calm
losing the ability to tell when you’re low so lol you’re in the 30’s and you only just realized
having to stop having fun or hanging out with people or having to go home because you’re out of insulin or strips or needles or your site fill out. and by extension, never really being able to do something spontaneous because you always have to think how will i manage the sugaz when I do
always worrying about food. where it’ll come from, how to count it, where you can get some of you suddenly drop. food is your biological imperative. if you can’t answer those questions you’re this much closer to dying.
you don’t even know who you are without this disease. you know it’s not everything about you but it consumes you. literally. it eats away at your body, eats away at how long you have left to live.
having to deal with the monetary cost. like, pay or die? what kind of life is that?
never getting to take a break from the ridiculously difficult task of keeping yourself alive.
Low Blood Sugar Sweats™ are their own special brand of “very suddenly saturated through every layer of clothing and are literally slipping off your chair because you’ve become a jelly fish” kind of sweat.
I dare anyone who doesen’t think Diabetes is serious to spend 5 minutes in the T1d and actuallydiabetic tag
(a-gamers-world)
9 Things you need to know about T1D
1. There is no cure 2. We have it forever 3. Yes we can eat what we want 4. No we don’t need you to. Count every carb in the food you give us 5. Yes a lot of things are 15 carbs 6. Yes we do this for every time we eat 7. Don’t say you know things about it because someone in your family is one (everyone is different) 8. It’s not a wifi hot spot attached to me 9. TEACHERS: my phone is not going off in class it’s my pump
How treating my chronic illness seems sometimes
[Gif of a tortoise trying to walk up a slide and slipping down each time it takes a step.]
This but the tortoise is on fire.
Hate it when there’s a sudden heat wave and my insulin decides not to work anymore
I haven't changed my set in five days. I'm going to bed now, maybe I'll change it tomorrow.
When someone goes to touch my pump.
“A medical professor who has tracked the cost of insulin over the years says that a one-month supply of a popular version that cost $45 wholesale in 2001 cost $1,447 14 years later, an increase of almost 3,000%. That’s the wholesale price, not the retail price that an uninsured patient would pay.“
Type one Diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks and kills the pancreas which is an organ that makes insulin. It can not be cured, can not be prevented and life choices and diet did not caused it.
A person with T1D must in inject insulin themselves every day or they will die because of this Pharmaceutical companies have raised the prices up on insulin to ludicrous prices because they know we NEED it or else we will DIE. So many diabetics suffer from other very serious medical conditions and many just plan freaking die because they can’t afford their insulin, not to mention the prices for needles, syringes test strips and meters. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE DYING IN THE USA BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR A MEDICINE THAT WE’VE HAD SINCE THE 1960S
