Hi!
Hope this is allowed but after about 20 years of managing my type 1 with shots and fingers pricks im switching to an insulin pump and to a CGM sensor.
Does anybody have any tips on navigating this?
Did you regret it or did it help?
Any tricks or tips that docs might not tell me?
Im very happy to finally take this step but I am very nervous so alk advice is appreciated, thank you.
As somebody who works in customer support for a company that offers education specifically targetted towards adults we sometimes get questions about our courses or people request flyers etc. This causes a lot of people to randomly have our chat number and be able to send us messages on whatsapp.
I always dreaded having to be on chat shift because we had no idea what kind of messages we would be getting from this person and howmany times she would text us that day. She wasnt a student so we couldnt answer any of her messages but the chatbox system would constantly be backed up because of this one woman. Sometimes she would send random news articles, sometimes it would be NSFW stuff, other times she would randomly start a conversation and more than once she spammed us by just sending emojis. And not like a row of them no like 400 seperate messages all containing a single emoji.
Once a month we would send her a standardized message especially crafted for her explaining she was texting a schooling company and to FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP TEXTING (!) because we cant help her. Our company is too cheap to invest in a tier of the chat that allows people to be blocked so there was nothing we could do.
Sometimes she would reply to that standardized message with "I understand" or "Thank you for helping I appreciate it" or just ignore and start a random convo. But sometimes she would vent snd say "I have a serious condition and its called texting addiction. I cant stop. Please take some time and read into this issue!"
Im sure for some this can be an issue but in this case it was weird. Not sure if she was pulling a long con troll, mentally ill or just plain weird but I havent seen her message in a couple of weeks. I hope she's okay haha.
