My spoons/marbles/spell slots today/this week have been largely consumed by "my phone decided to stop being compatible with stuff helping keep me alive".

Well, good news. After the previous #cgm sensor (the one that absolutely refused to talk to my phone) expired, this love one happily connected and is sending data.

Ah, yes, the very beginning of weekend is the *perfect* time for my insulin pump to fall apart.
You know, the thing giving me insulin, without which I'm dead in at most days.

Ah, yes, hot shower means I now need 3 glasses of juice and half a box of biscuits just before bed...

Sigh. This #cgm sensor is just jumping back and forth, making calibration attempts pointless. I wonder if that's enough grounds for warranty replacement...

Sigh, second in a row #dexcom #cgm sensor dead at 8.5 days instead of the official 10.5 days, and I'm out, currently waiting for delivery and I thought I still had a couple of days for that...

Well, I'm glad I waited with upgrading phone to Android 15 until weekend, because now it's a dance and seeing what options to adjust, if any, to make xdrip actually keep getting the data from my #cgm sensor 💀

I have the stuff now, after about 10h of running around and waiting for things etc.

I spent 7-8h (including waiting, travel) *this week* trying to get my diabetes supplies. I don't have them yet, and I don't have the prescriptions for them yet either, because the doctor I just saw couldn't get into the central system to get them for me, and will do so later. And *then* I can start working on getting the actual physical items, from multiple locations, taking into consideration their opening times. My last sensor runs out in a bit over one hour. #LifeWithDiabetes

"so what's your TDD?" (Total Daily Dosage, amount of #insulin you use per day) someone may ask. Generally expecting a single number.
**WITHIN LAST WEEK** I have a day with 17.2 U and a day with 43.6 U.

Aaaaaarghhhh
New sensor (sent as a replacement for failed one). Xdrip on my phone refuses to connect to it, #dexcom ONE+ app on borrowed and actually supported by them phone connected and shows data 💀
Isn't #technology wonderful?

So, I know what I did wrong. I didn’t eat or carry any protein or low-sugar snacks with me at all yesterday while I was out then ate poorly when I got home. Today is going to be rough as I try to keep my sugar down. It’s always harder to get it down. #lifewithdiabetes
