Dexcom G6 Stickers
These designs were all made with license free for personal use stock images. I'll add more as/if I make them. I got them as close to proper size as I could but they will need the slightest trimming to fit on the transmitter. And if you aren't able to print stickers yourself, @lady-wallace will take custom orders; you just provide the design files you want printed.
Wearing my pump in my bra at work is less convenient when alarms start going off. 🙈🙈🙈
I've gone a bit sticker design making crazy lately and decided I'll upload them to a Google Drive folder and share it so people can use any they want. In the meantime, here's a couple.
New transmitter, new sticker.
Work today is going to be fun.
I know this may sound odd but… for American T1Ds what are average monthly out-of-pocket expenses for management of T1D?
Insulin, pump cannulas, glucose sensors, test strips, ancillaries related to managing the illness, etc
Thanks!
letting this for the people to reply!!
When I had *really* good insurance, my monthly out-of-pocket costs were:
Insulin $20
Strips $26
Infusion sets & reservoirs $30
CGM $58
Lidocaine $3
That was my co-pay for covered items, and it was on top of the $200/mo that got deducted from my paycheck for the health insurance premium. Things I have to fully purchase myself include underlay patches (~$6/mo), lancets ($negligible), glucose tabs ($3/mo), Unisolve ($7/mo), and the tons of skin aftercare because I have bad reactions to the adhesives that I can't calculate.
TL;DR I paid about $350-$400/mo on everything.
And insurance that "good" is hard to find (which is why no matter how miserable my workplace gets, I will probably never quit). (Also our union recently fought and won better coverage so now I don't pay anything for pump and CGM supplies, which is HUGE.)
Day 5 of CGM on chest and I'm pleased with how it's working. It's only 20-30 points higher than finger stick, so mostly negligible. And while the first day was really weird, I got used to it. It doesn't twinge or itch any more frequently than the arm does (though the brain certainly takes more notice when it does). Here's hoping it holds out a full 14 days. 🤞
Sensor failed on day 8. I really wanted it off by then anyway. Also used Tegaderm for the first time as an underlay patch but it STILL didn't protect from a nasty breakout.
t1d culture is ✨the forbidden itch✨ under the omnipod
the curse of the forbidden itch.........

Death again failed to catch me in this game of tag we play.
T1D culture is...
"why am I so irritable????" and it's just because you're high
Ok friends, need some input. After 6 weeks, the skin damage on my arm from the CGM still hasn't fully healed so I need to find another placement. Abdomen is definitely out. I've heard people use thigh and lower back, but HOW do you manage that wearing jeans or sitting in a chair?!?! I've done infusion sites in the leg but those are tiny compared to the G6. And I sleep on my back so, ow??
What about inside of arm? 😬 Has anyone had success with that?
me when the disability disables me: oh what the fuck? this sucks. what the hell man!

I think this must be a sticker for our next appointment at the diabetic ambulance. A few stickers, that the doctor could give to the kids <3
True.
[ID: tweet by user Trev that’s reads: “chronic pain be like: “meh i’m used to it meh i’m used to it meh i’m used to it meh i’m used to it I’M SO TIRED OF BEING IN PAIN ALL THE TIME I HATE MY BODY I HATE BEING LIKE THIS EVERYTHING IS AGONY PLEASE MAKE IT STOP I’M EXHAUSTED PLEASE meh i’m used to it meh i’m used to it”” end ID]
Showering never used to make my sugar drop and now it does EVERY TIME. I mean wtf?! I thought maybe it was cgm error but nope finger stick confirms LOW.
