Hi,

I discovered reddit, r/diabetes_t1 and my disease in 2014. I was a lurker all this time but learned so much from the subreddit.

Now I'm a refugee too !

Hoping this community will help others as r/diabetes_t1 did for me

coming from reddit as well. I was diagnosed in 1997. I got a Dexcom G6 and pen needles (Lantus and Humalog) =)

Just tried to post a new thread, but it never gets posted. Have tried using the Memmy app, also web browser. Trying a comment here to see if that works.

Edit: Well yes, that worked. Will try a new post again.

Edit 2: I still can’t create a new post, it just sits there, never completing.

My son was diagnosed at 7 years old in April of 2022. He uses a dexcom g6 and MDI with the inpen. He has no interest in a pump, yet. Been doing pretty decent considering, last A1C was 5.8. Good to be here since I loved the t1 community on reddit.

Thanks for setting it up! I’m a major lurker, here and on reddit, but I am T1D and I’d like to have a community here on Lemmy, so I guess I need to contribute to make that happen!

I’ve been living with T1 since 2007, diagnosed as an adult and feel very fortunate for that I didn’t have to deal with this bullshit while growing up.

I’ve been using Medtronic pumps for 12 of those years, CGM on and off, depending sensor costs. I’m about to start using the 780g and the new no calibration CGM sensors.

Also a Reddit refugee. Been T1 for 64 years since 1959, on MDI and finger pricks. Where I live CGM’s are not subsidised, and the cost is too much for me. I keep very stable and log every blood test. My daily average for the past 3 months is 132 (7.3) determined from 6-7 tests/day. Due for a HbA1c check soon. I calculate my expected HbA1c from the test values, it’s very close most times.

Hi all! I was diagnosed with LADA a few weeks ago. My sugars float between the mid 80s and 1-teens with diet and exercise, but who knows how long that will last. Trying to learn as much as I can.
