I have started a new weekly newsletter that will be a bibliography of new research articles on the use of CGM data to improve outcomes for diabetics. The bibliography is compiled by a machine learning program developed by Thomas Kirchel, to which I provide manual abstract relevance feedback.

Attn: #T1D folks.

Have you any experience with #fiasp, particularly as used in an #insulin pump? How does it compare to #humalog or #novolog?

I take #novolog via my #tandem #tslim, but I’m finding it increasingly difficult to control my BG as my #gastroparesis grows more erratic over time. I’m wondering if a faster-acting insulin might help, allowing me to NOT bolus until I see a BG rise when my stupid stomach decides to start digesting (sometimes immediately, sometimes 4 hours later).

EDENT1FI & the Italian national government are rolling out parallel screening programmes for Type 1 #Diabetes, & they're sharing best practices & learnings between them. Untreated diabetes can be life-threatening - the goal is to dramatically reduce it.

sonen m typ 1 diabetes ska testa pump. Vet ju inget om sånt här. Har fått fyra olika förslag, vi tycker Omnipod (5) verkar bäst? Finns det nån här som har nån erfarenhet... eller det är väl bara att testa antar jag. De är väl rätt dyra oxå så gissar att avdelningen inte skulle förskriva saker som inte funkar

Time for a N=1 experiment.
How long will a Medtronic Guardian 4 CGM sensor last? Already 1 week in and I've had to restart it.

I got called to come to my son's school to help change his insulin pod. I got there to discover that the app on his phone had thrown a memory corruption error and wiped out all of his insulin dosage settings

Fortunately, I have been keeping a copy of those settings in a self-hosted git repository, mostly so that I could look through the git history and see how the numbers change over time. This helps me understand the impacts that some of these changes are having

So there I am in his school's office on my phone reading a CSV off of my @forgejo instance and plugging all of his dosage settings back into the app on his phone

We use these tools to store our source code. But here I am using it for the code that keeps my son alive.

Like sustainable fusion, a cure for #t1d is forever twenty years away, but this looks interesting nonetheless:

Type 1 diabetes reversed by new cell transplantation technique

Efter sonens insjuknande i diabetes tänker jag mycket på vilken beredskap "vi" (Sverige?) har gällande insulinproduktion. Vad händer om det blir krig/kris? Vem reglerar detta, finns det nåt åtagande, läkemedelsverket? (utlagt på kommersiella företag isf antar jag) Kan jag sätta upp en egen produktion ... hur tillverkas insulin

You ever accidentally hit a blood vessel when attaching your Freestyle Libre? Because let me tell you, it *really* hurts

#Sana’s cell therapy may be ‘transformative cure’ for type 1 #diabetes
#Biotech is evaluating UP421, donor-derived allogeneic primary islet cell therapy, as #T1D treatment that doesn’t require #immunosuppression. Four weeks after cells were transplanted into patient’s arm, therapy had avoided immune rejection and was tied to consistent levels of c-peptide expression—a biomarker that indicates if the transplanted beta cells are producing #insulin.

I spent my lunch today reorganizing my bookshelves and I dug up a forgotten treasure. This is dated 1968. A friend rescued it from the "pulp" pile at her work. I'm tempted to post highlights in a thread later on if people are interested. #diabetes #diabetic #t1d @diabetes

From @dspacestv@tiktok.com, talking about the first continuous glucose monitor and insulin pump, invented by Dr. Ernst Friedrich Pfeiffer. We've come a long, long way with our #Dexcom and #FreestyleLibre devices.

A side benefit of having a family member with #t1d is that I've learned how to remove #Christmas tree sap from my hands.

Diabetic devices like blood sugar monitoring and insulin pumps are attached to the skin with sticky bandages. The sticky adhesives on these are made of refined balsam sap, which is usually non-reactive to skin. Always unsticking these and getting adhesive on my hands.

First cooking oil, then liquid hand soap. Scrub. Then rinse. Sticky is gone.

Aaaaaarghhhh
New sensor (sent as a replacement for failed one). Xdrip on my phone refuses to connect to it, #Dexcom ONE+ app on borrowed and actually supported by them phone connected and shows data
Isn't #technology wonderful?
#diabetes #t1d #LifeWithDiabetes

Just sent this to my SIL:

FYI, we want to see the kids on Sunday & give them Christmas presents, but we don’t want to stay long. Both <bro2> & my mom decided to mock me again for my disability at <bro1>’s bday, & my mom did it again w/ a story over Thanksgiving & somehow made it about her. I’ve asked them numerous times over decades to stop, but they continually choose to hurt me for laughs. I frankly don’t want to be around either one of them.

Would you be interested in a #FOSS #DIY #InsulinPump with a BOM around 100 USD?

Caveat being that the user needs to assemble and flash it themselves, community support if any.

So… #Sugarmate just stopped working a couple days ago - logged me out and I can’t log in on the app or the website. I checked the App Store and it’s not listed anymore… WTF

I prefer(red) that app because it is (was?) the only one of the 3 I use(d) (Dexcom, t:connect) that actually shows a +/- rate, which SHOULD be standard.

BLARGH!

I made an E-Ink Display showing my latest #nightscout blood glucose value using #esphome maybe useful for some #t1d humans :)
