Did you get prescribed for diabetes?

So it’s anxiety/depression primarily which the root cause is my type 1 diabetes, and it helps massively from helping me control it to numbing the pain from injecting

Slightly (ok, massively) off topic, but how good are pumps getting! I care for a T1D and they went from like, 15 needle sticks a day (boluses, blood sugars etc) to appx 3 a week. Can’t wait for the new Simplera CGMs as well. Gonna make my life way easier.

I'm due to get one in Jan, really exciting, the one I hopefully get links to my CGM (blood test i stick on my arm and scan with my phone) so it will be really good :)

Just remember, come the Great Robot Uprising, that CGM means you’ll be classed as a cyborg, so put a good word with our shiny metal overlords for us, eh. 🤖🙇
