ETA: from one T1D to another…..thank you 🙏🏼 everyone for your response. I will be bringing this entire thread to my next doctor visit as supporting evidence and discussion topics!!! Will update you.

I’d love to drop some weight w/ a glp1, but I’m wondering if it would severely inhibit my body’s ability to correct a low bloodsugar. And a low bloodsugar that remains low and won’t rise over a long period of time is the definition of a nightmare!!!

For context, I’m 37. Diagnosed at 5 years old. My A1C hovers in the 6s. I weigh food and count carbs, I use my fitness pal app to help track. I’m 5’1 and 145lbs. Over the last 6 months I’ve really honed in and have tried to lose weight. I started at 150lbs, so I’ve lost 5lbs but it’s take sooooo much extra effort. My goal is 135lbs.

I think I may just start Qsymia (a pill that combines topiramate & phentermine) since it doesn’t slow my digestion system. But I’d love to hear your suggestions, perspectives. Thanks!

Please someone explain. I’m sure there has to be a good reason for this, but I find it so strange seeing “water girls” on the sidelines holding Gatorade water bottles up to a grown man’s mouth and pouring it in. 👄
Liiike…do their hands suddenly stop working on the sidelines?

I’ve been T1D for over 30 years and in the last 2 years started really tracking my menstrual cycle and noticing patterns with insulin needs and bloodsugar tendencies throughout the month. I can’t help but roll my eyes when I see a male T1D talk about how to have better bloodsugars and not even consider the female hormones. Don’t get me wrong, it takes a lot of hard fucking work whether you’re male/female/human!
But, guys just don’t have to worry about the hormonal cycle like a woman does. It’s just another variable to consider on the daily. And I truly believe it’s an entirely different ball game for male vs female. Thoughts?

I can’t with all the getting up and walking out mid-conversation - that’s so toxic.

Does it make anyone else shit their brains out? Maybe it’s the MCT oil?
