This week on my hybrid closed loop insulin pump has had a dramatic effect lowering my BG levels already. The guilt of not mastering the pen therapy is still there though, as a machine and algorithm takes over control from me.

45% in-range already. Incredible tech.

Me too. 16 years on insulin pens

Mental calculations for insulin doses per gram of carb, exercise? Insulin on board? Hormonal changes? "Did you have high BG levels? It's because you failed at diabetes and you deserve the physical consequences" things you punish yourself over all the time, all day.

Moving over to a near-automated insulin pump reminded me all type 1 diabetics face a constant, life long shame and pressure for not having their BG levels under perfect control

Disordered eating, militant carb counting, pressure to not Fail is constant, the eye checks for impending Blindness too

Officially flying now, having solo changed my 3-day infusion set (stabbing myself with cannula applicator), injection filled my insulin reservoirs (no bubbles!) and managed a full takeaway dinner with only a short rise in BG levels. Nice!

Caroline Lucas: Scotland, we need to talk about how we can take on the far right I’ll be discussing what I learned while campaigning in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and how we can take on the far right together

If Scotland were to design a modern democratic constitution &, with it, return to the EU, then perhaps England would find a way to follow. My piece for @scotnational.bsky.social ahead of public meetings in Edinburgh & Glasgow next week - makehopepossible.org/tickets

Right, but Live Captioning is a default accessibility function in Windows 11 now, having that be mobile in the wider world would be a fantastic disability aid.

What I really personally hate about this is there was a use case for live captions for deaf people like me that could display in smart glasses

and these bloody animals have ruined the tech for everyone turning it all into surveillance, scamming and Zuckerberg voyeurism.

The need to input carb counts reminds me STRONGLY to be aware of carbs and not just guess.

I've already accidentally steered myself away from getting takeout doing this what the hell

The algorithm is still learning my BG patterns, such as the Morning Rise effect i get, so that will stabilise but also my current target is set to 9mmo, so as to not cause my eyes retinopathy damage by bringing my average down too fast.

But still, holy fuckin shit.

Gone from like 10% Time in Target Range to 43%. Highs are dealt with gradually without the roller coaster up down up down effect and All I've had to do with mealtimes is input a rough number of carbs consumed per meal and it does the rest, calculating doses taking current trajectory in mind

*Magic*

So i've switched over successfully to a Hybrid Closed Loop Insulin pump after 16 years on pen therapy.

It takes BG readings from a sensor on my arm and automatically adjusts the amount of insulin injected into my body in real time. Quite frankly, it's magic.

stalker enemies coming unexpected out of nowhere got tonnes of social media coverage and lots of streamers screaming into their cameras so i guess this is the default now?, is what I assumed at the time.

Maybe they're not as annoying nowadays? idk

want to join in on the resi 9 hype but once the Stalker type wandering enemies started appearing in RE2 Remake (OG RE3 wasn't nearly as bad) I stopped playing them, i dislike them as a tension mechanic. random appearances stressing ammo and supplies, random rather than scripted tension.

I misread the seam down the front of the legs and saw 2B with four legs Be. Not. Afraid.

it's the Prets that get me. Why yes bacon roll for £27

rather the WHSmiths special

In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones].

[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm.

"Assigning Children to Duplicated Parents" ok settle down there Blender.

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

Sir Keir supports whatever illegal shit the US tells him to

The most unpopular prime minister since records began stands resolutely behind the unprovoked attack on Iran by the two countries that are actively carrying out a genocide in the Middle East.

But please, do elaborate more about "extremism on the Left", Mr Human Rights lawyer KC.
