Phil Moss<p>Time for a N=1 experiment.<br>How long will a Medtronic Guardian 4 CGM sensor last?

IanCarpentry<p>Diabetes itself is slow - that in itself is something I'm still getting used to. Looking back I'd been ill for a few months. However, when something goes wrong you need to act fast. Diabetes + Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome bounced off each other to make a situation that needed professional intervention and a supportive Wife to push me to get help when claiming "I'm fine" with a 250bpm resting heart rate! 3/3 <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/GBDoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GBDoc</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/DiabetesAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DiabetesAwarenessMonth</span></a></p>
IanCarpentry<p>The 4T's were all there but we had separate other reasons for them until we knew the <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/t1d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>t1d</span></a> was there. Biggest thing I remember from the hospital was the annoying cannula and being told I either learn to inject or it stays in my arm. <br>2/3 <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/GBDoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GBDoc</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/DiabetesAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DiabetesAwarenessMonth</span></a></p>
IanCarpentry<p>My <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/t1d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>t1d</span></a> diagnosis: 23 Dec 2019 (Age 35). I'd had "a cold" for a few days and it just wouldn't shift. GP &gt; Ambulance &gt; A&amp;E for 250 resting heart rate. High blood sugar was spotted by paramedics but an aside to the heart initially. Spent my first week doing a "magic show" as I had to be supervised by cardiac nurses as I did my insulin injections for the first time - and tethered to a cardiac monitor. Released on NYE and Wife refused to take me home so we went to my parents for support. 1/3 <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/GBDoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GBDoc</span></a></p>
IanCarpentry<p>A5b... Then there is the <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/GBDoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GBDoc</span></a> on here and that community of diabetics in real life. I can't recommend a <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/PeerSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeerSupport</span></a> group enough and since I created one in my workplace some colleagues have felt they can come out to their colleagues knowing they were already supported in the workplace by fellow <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/t1d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>t1d</span></a> they could talk to in confidence.</p>
IanCarpentry<p>A5. My advice would have to be that your <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diabetes</span></a> is a part of you. Equally you don't have to disclose it to everyone you meet - just enough people to ensure that you are and can remain safe. Hiding diabetes means that people may not know what they are looking at if your show signs of a #<a href="https://toot.wales/tags/hypo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hypo</span></a> or other distress that needs assistance. <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/GBDoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GBDoc</span></a></p>
GBDoc Chat Host<p>Q5. No one should feel that they have to hide their <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diabetes</span></a>. What's your advice for people who maybe don't have the confidence to disclose, or find themselves in situations where they feel they can't? <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/GBDoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GBDoc</span></a></p>

IanCarpentry<p>A2. I'm only 3.5 years in (yes, wasn't diagnosed until I was 35. Its not just young people that get <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/t1d" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>t1d</span></a>). At this point I am still correcting my family on how I can eat anything and I really need to know if its fake sugar in pudding. <br>When I'm out and about I'm not so verbal unless the comment is actually aimed at me.<br>Still find it really funny when someone on TV suggests that insulin is what the <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/diabetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diabetic</span></a> needs to fix a hypo - that really isn't going to do any good! <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/GBDoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GBDoc</span></a></p>

If you can’t make it to watch on the night or for the whole session, it will be recorded.
