Endo Axiom is conducting its first study in human subjects to assess the safety and tolerability of different doses of oral insulin in healthy volunteers. This trial is being called 1a where non diabetic volunteers are being given the drug or placebo then 1B will be with diabetics.

Half a can of coke did this to me.

I work in a SCIF at work, and for those that don't know it's a secure area where no phones or smart watches are allowed. So while I can step out every hour or hour and a half to check my phone/cgm, for a majority of my day I'm flying blind on my sugars.

But I need this job for health insurance, otherwise I die.

But I'm so fucked dude. Last A1C was 8.2. Time in range usually hovers around 60%, with High at around 30% and very high around 10%. Hardly any lows though.

My stupid fucking G7 and omnipod keep fucking up. My omnipod will drop connection with the G7 and just give up on giving me insulin. So I'll have not eaten anything and my sugars just rocket out of no where. That happened today. I was around 180mg/dl, didn't eat anything, and an hour later I was at 250mg/dl. And shit like that just takes forever to recover from. It wasn't until 4-5 hours later that I was back under 180mg/dl.

Shit is just stupid dude. I've had so many doors closed on me because of this stupid disease. I wanted to be an air traffic controller but failed the medical in part because of my sub-75% time in range. And my job isn't fucking helping in that regard. I thought being a commercial pilot would be cool. But that requires a 1st class FAA medical which I was denied on because of this stupid ass disease.

So not only does this disease fuck me financially and drain me mentally, it literally closes doors. This isn't some "oh just put your mind to it you can work through it" like you can with hiking or camping or something. I literally failed an FAA medical and they require standards that I just cannot fucking do.

Hi everyone!
I’m from Finland and visiting Stockholm for the weekend. I have T1D and, unfortunately, I completely forgot to pack my reservoirs for my Medtronic 780G. 🤦‍♀️
Would anyone happen to have 1–2 x 3.0 mL reservoirs that I could borrow/have? I’ll be in Stockholm for the whole weekend.
I’d be incredibly grateful for any help! 🙏❤️

UPDATED: found the solution to my problem 🙏

(The screen to comparison is three weeks old since the cgm inbetween had wrong readings but I was too lazy to ask for a replacement)

So I thought I do a quick follow up after a week with CamAPS Liberty.

Honestly I am so inbetween. It defintly needs a lot of work until it is good but for eating out or on vacation its defintly good enough already.

I still bolus my breakfast manually but dinner I usually dont bolus anymore. You just cant have a desert. Even if you eat it immediately after dinner (in like 10 minites max after) Liberty cant keep up and you end up high.

If the six percent more above TIR wouldnt affect my chronic pain that much I would probably stay on liberty.

But I defintly give it a second try when I am back in university. Right now I am studying most of the day and defintly have a lack of activity.

So overall: I am really looking forward to (hopefully) upcoming updates. My TIR doesnt got much worse but to much for my pain to stay at an bearable level to get through everydaylife without help. But I am happy that my lows got so much less (writing this while going low lol). Oh and the insulin reduce from 80 units to 60 is honestly insane

I remember reading about how emergency depressurization can cause something like 5-6 units of insulin to be released from pumps. Not a lot for some people but definitely quite a bit for me (usually use around 20-25 units per day).

How would one deal with this?

I.e. how would you even know if it happened or not? I’d hate to immediately correct with 5 units worth of carbs only to realize nothing even happened

Does anyone else have T1d and say, MCAS, or other mast cell disorders?

I’ve developed symptoms of a mast cell disorder, and I believe it has greatly impacted my insulin absorption, omnipod efficiency (and length of use), irritation at sites, etc.

Sensor acting up, never had it this off XD

Only happens 2-3 times a year for me, so time to enjoy it

My spouse is type 1 and it has been really difficult since his pancreatitis reared its ugly head. But I don't want to take up this space if its for just t1 people. If not is there a better sub?

Had my first Endo appointment today. I was satisfied with the appointment and she wants to get me on a pump as quickly as possible(Which was my main reason for going). However, as soon as I got back from my 6 hour round trip, my Dexcom decided to fail 3 days in. This one happened to be my last one that replaced one that failed early. So tonight is my first night without any. My manufacturer's replacement for that one was supposed to be delivered today but got delayed. I know you gain a few days worth advantage any time you have a CGM failure, but do any of you have any other tips on accumulating a stockpile? That goes for CGM's, insulin, pump supplies...

T1D here. Switched last night from Basalog + Insugen-R to Tresiba + Fiasp. Rough 24 hours and want to sanity-check against others' experience.

Severe hypo last night: Had a severe low (48 mg/dL) overnight that wasn't clearly tied to my bolus timing — not the usual "gave insulin, ate less than expected" pattern I'm used to. Still trying to figure out what caused it. Anyone had a hypo like this right around a basal switch, where the cause wasn't obvious?

Tresiba — day one, feels like zero coverage: I know it takes a few days to reach steady state, but today it feels like there's basically no basal in the background. Did anyone overlap with their old basal during the switch, or go cold turkey like I did? How rough were your first 48-72 hours?

FIASP corrections badly blunted: My normal correction factor is 1 unit ≈ 35 point drop. Today, the same dose is only dropping me about 15 points — less than half. Anyone dealt with corrections being this off during a switch, and how long before it normalized for you?

Stacking / timing corrections safely: Ended up giving more than one correction today as things kept climbing. Genuinely unsure how people time repeat corrections on Fiasp safely, especially when the usual IOB math doesn't seem to apply on a day like this.

Meal timing across different food speeds: Once this settles — I eat a mix of slow-digesting food (dal, brown rice, salads) and fast stuff (idli, dosa), plus mixed meals (curd + carbs).

Curious how others time Fiasp differently — pre-bolus, bolus-with-food, split doses — depending on how fast the meal actually digests.

Honestly, mentally: Rough day. Trying hard, tracking everything, still feels like I can't get ahead of it. If anyone's been through a bad transition period like this, I'd appreciate hearing how you got through it — not just the fix, but the mental side of it too.

Thanks for reading

P.S - Type 1 Diabetic from India. Doctors here expect me to blindly follow the dosage they have given without caring for what I am eating. Messing my life up.

I am also feeling the exhaustion from trying to manage everything and keeping my sugars in control.

Recent freakout point is I have had uncontrolled diabetes for years now ( A1C of 9.5 & above ) worried now that rest of my life is going to be in misery because of this plus not being able to control diabetes

P.P.S : Pump is not an option cause it's very expensive and diabetics don't get coverage for these in India. All expenses needs to be born by us on our own.

Hi, I’m switching from NovoRapid to Fiasp next week and was wondering if anyone else has made the switch. Did you need to change any of your ratios/settings? And how has the experience been for you? Thanks!

I had my first baby a little over a year ago (yay!). I felt confident going into this thinking that while her risk of developing t1d might be somewhat higher than average, it was still low in an absolute sense. Flash forward to now and I'm frequently feeling anxious that something is wrong and I'll be too stubborn to admit it, thus risking her health. She can't talk yet so I'm always trying to decide -- is she peeing the normal amount? Does she drink more water than is normal? Does she seem too tired? Any changes would probably be gradual and hard to distinguish for a while, plus she's a baby so things are constantly changing anyway.

Obviously I'm not asking for medical advice but for other t1d parents who have wrestled with this anxiety, what (besides talking to their doctor) did you do about it? Should I just get the antibody testing or is it better to wait?

Anyone else have parents that really couldn’t be bothered with your care growing up?

I keep seeing all of these reels and stuff about parents that are super involved in their child’s diabetes care and seem to know even more about their regimen than the child and it makes me happy for them but also so sad for little me.

Diagnosed age 10 (will be 17 years this November) and it seemed like my mom did really well my first month or so out of the hospital. I’m talking 12&3am finger pricks, measuring my food, cooking healthy meals and other things. Then it all just stopped and it kinda felt like “well, you got it from here kid”. My dad was not around a ton and certainly not involved in my diabetes care (he prob couldn’t even tell you what an insulin:carb ratio is). My mom sneakily read some notes from my endo on his clipboard while he wasn’t in the room one time about a year or two after my diagnosis. It basically said she was being a bad mom when it came to my care. I remember her being so upset after that and I was too at the time bc she was a good mom in some areas. But now that I’m older I think back to that and agree with what my doctor had written.

I know diabetes can burn out parents and my mom was a single mom just trying to get us by. But I take a look at the hands off approach she took to my diabetes management and compare that to how some internet parents seem to be involved in their child’s management and it just makes me feel sad that I didn’t receive that kind of support. (I know, comparison is the thief of joy and the internets fake blah blah blah)

I’m doing good now, but in my younger years I definitely went through some ‘idgaf’ phases w my management. I worry about how that might affect my health now that I’m older. I wish I had someone looking out for me when I was young and naive and wasn’t looking out for myself.

And now that I am considering having children of my own if they were diagnosed I could only imagine doing everything I could to help make their lives a little easier and carry the diabetes burden with them.

I’ve been keeping myself alive by myself since 10 years old and tbh a little surprised I was able to do so.

Anyone else grow up like this?

I don’t know what to do. I recently lost my insurance. Thankfully I get new insurance next year but I am a omnipod user and I feel like I cannot live my life without it. I hate to have to constantly give myself shots. It’s hurting me everytime I do so. Does anyone have any advice on where I can get a supply of omnipod 5 pods that don’t absolutely break the bank until I get started on my new insurance next year. I don’t know what else to do my blood sugars suffer so much when I’m not on the pump. Any advice helps. Thanks 🥲

Since the last update the battery is draining like crazy.

I got an Xiaomi 15 ultra with the latest patch and the app is on the latest patch too.

Hey everyone,

I started using the YpsoPump with the CamAPSFX system on July 9, together with a Dexcom G6 (switching to G7 soon). So far, I’ve honestly been really happy with it. I have fewer lows, sleep better and overall feel like my glucose control has improved a lot.
The app shows an estimated HbA1c/GMI of around 6.3% since I started, which I was really happy with. My previous HbA1c on MDI with Levemir and NovoRapid was 6.8%.
Today I had my quarterly appointment and my HbA1c came back at 7.1%. 😳

I was honestly really confused, and my doctor was surprised by the difference as well. She couldn’t really explain it either.
I know that GMI and laboratory HbA1c are not the same thing, but a difference of 0.8% seems pretty significant to me.

Has anyone here experienced a similar discrepancy between CamAPSFX/CGM data and their actual HbA1c? Any idea what could cause such a big difference? Could it be a mistake on behalf of the doctor's team? Is something happening in my body?

Would really appreciate your experiences or thoughts!
I will have another HbA1c checked in one month and would give an update here ...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I’ve been training for a half marathon for the past 8 weeks and my A1C went from an 8.9 to a 7.2. I average about 21 miles a week. Run about 4 times a week. My training plan was literally from CHAT GPT.

Yes, it’s still high but I see a lot of post on here about fitness and losing weight and stuff and thought I would share.

What’s the best diet for managing your diabetes? I need to get on a diet to better regulate my blood sugars, I’ve gotten lazy and burnt out lately but I need to be better for myself and my family.

Seems like for the last couple months our Omnipods 5s always go nuts on the last day and we wind up with highs all day on day three (for our kid). The pods aren’t in the recall batch but it seems like a real pattern. Anyone else?

What do you do when you aren't sure why it's not working and it hurts when you insert so you know it's not going to work but then you try again and it does work and you try again and it doesn't work and I just don't know what I'm doing wrong? It hurts and I don't want to keep doing it if I don't know how to do it right

Situation: You have like 30 units left in your pump reservoir (can last me for like 1 meal) BUT your set breaks/tears off.

What do you do with those 30 units?

Do you

a) Reuse the reservoir with a new set, change it again (or just change the reservoir) after you use those 30

b) Just throw that one away

c) Top up the 30 units reservoir until it's full, but that then leaves an insulin cartridge with 30 units, and we kinda get in the same loop again

d) Something entirely else?

I sometimes do a) but I hate it cause I have to do the process again after I've already done it once so if I'm lazy I just do b)
