The world: luckily there are many tools to help you control your diabetes

I'm back Y'all, finally realised I do need some community to help me get through this all.

There was a myth then - and it still permeates T1D culture now...That if you do the 'right things' all your blood sugars will fall into place. This is simply not true. I was taught that if you find the magic proportion of activity, food, and insulin you will be happy and healthy all the live long day. Its easy right? My reality is - and I think this is true for T1D in general - is that my numbers fluctuate because today's body is not the same as yesterday's. There are patterns and general guidelines to follow sure. But life is not static and routine, also plenty of other factors effect blood sugar - not just food, diet, and meds. Some of those factors are known but there is no way to currently influence them, others are unknown, and some are just too difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy the majority of the time.

How to deal with your pump, a step-by-step guide

Oh my god! I've always wanted to live in the US, but then I realised that your government don't cover your supplies? Like what the hell? And your supplies looks so much cheaper than mine, covered ones! I suddenly feel a lot better bring Norwegian... I'm so sorry.

oke story time. today I was in class and I decided to check my bg so I took the thing out dead silently and I squeeze my finger, all very normal and innocent and all, but then suddenly there is a beam of BLOOD spraying from my finger right onto my right eye. Me, surprised yet calm try to remain as silent as possible and attract as little attention as possible, which was going great if it weren't for my teacher.
