This is my second summer with t1. I'm in Italy, and I think you all know about the heat wave that's affecting us.

I'm seeing a higher sensitivity than usual, does your diabetes act the same? Or is it something subjective?

Hi everyone, diagnosed in early 2025. Last time i did the c peptide test was june '25, just to confirm the t1 diagnosis i guess. Then they skipped it last december.

Tomorrow I have a check up, I asked them to add the exam together with all the others, because I'm curious of how much insulin I'm still producing.

Is it something you guys do (or did until you were sure your pancreas stopped producing)? Is it something you're not interested in?

Also, for those of you who keep cheking it, does it ever reach zero? Is there a value where it's sure the pancreas stopped production?

Hi everyone, I'm still kinda new to all this, since I was diagnosed not even one year and a half ago.

It was my understanding that when we get night lows, our body automatically wakes us up. But reading here, it seems that it's not the case.

I tend to not go to bed before at least one hour and a half has passed since the last fast acting shot. I never had a night low, but since it is such an unpredictable condition, I figure it's better to be prepared.

So, M38, diagnosed last year.

I did some swimming during elementary and middle school and then 5 years of karate in middle and high school, and stopped in 2005.

Job allows me to take some walks, and I usually reach the 6000 steps that the preinstalled health app on my phone set as goal. But I know it's not enough.

So, considering I have little experience in physical activity in general, and that I have none in physical activity as a diabetic person, how would I approach exercising? What are the things I need to be cautious about? What sport or activity would you recommend?

Mi sono mangiato le unghie delle mani per almeno un quarto di secolo, ho smesso da un paio di mesi e sono stupito di quanto velocemente crescano.

Le unghie dei piedi posso tagliarmele anche una volta ogni 3/4 settimane, ma ho notato che quelle delle mani devo tagliarle almeno una volta a settimana.

Voi ogni quanto lo fate?
