Kylie has been living with type 1 diabetes for over four decades. At 25 years of age, she was told she needed an insulin pump to survive. Read Kylie’s full story here: diabetesaustralia.com.au/blog/diabetes-… #NationalDiabetesWeek #NDW24 #UniteForTech

@RenzaS Way less hypos 🙌

Dexcom alerts drove me up the wall yesterday. I just checked my pump history and I had 23 different alerts. 23! And most of them also alerted on my phone app too, so probably more like >40. 😰 #diabetes #CGM #tired

Right now in Australia, access to diabetes technology isn’t fair and equitable. We’re continuing the national conversation to generate real solutions to this real problem. We’d love you to have your say about pumps and share your story via Spark Change: diabetesaustralia.com.au/issue/affordab…

@canadianphil @dexcom How frustrating. Sounds like a bad run of sensors for you.

@alison_t1d @dexcom I’ve had to delete Dexcom Clarity off my phone then redownload it and relogin twice in the past two weeks. Have also needed 3 replacement sensors in the past month or so and may need to replace the current one, compared to zero in the 12 mths before that. ???

Getting a bit tired of the @Dexcom Clarity app logging me out and not letting me log back in. Anyone else with this problem? #diabetes

The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe)@PracticalDeeb·17 Nis

Insulin pumps are now accepted as the gold standard for the management of type 1 diabetes. However, many Australian T1Ds cannot afford it. Let's change this and make pumps subsidised like other T1D essentials change.org/p/make-automat…

This is not something I appreciate seeing at 10pm.

The dexcom warmup period is the longest two hours of each week 🥲

@RenzaS Just a whole lot of snacky foods at a fancy function. Like 4 types of crackers, 5 types of cheese, dips, quince paste, and lots of salami. Not having to count how much I eat of it all would be bliss.

Great article!👇 So important to make community engagement genuine and meaningful, and not just a tick-the-box exercise. And some good tips in here for PWD getting involved in research and health care.

Well, that's just my two cents. For now, I'm going back to my t:slim but I may keep trialling the Omnipod if I feel like I need another tube holiday. I hope this has been helpful somehow, and I'd love to hear any others' thoughts on the Omnipod too! (13/13)

English

Alison Robinson@alison_t1d·8 Ara

The last thing to say about the PDM is that even though life without tubes is great, with the Omnipod you still have to carry around the PDM or remember where you've put it, and stay within a close distance. It's like having to keep track of two phones all the time. (12/13)

Alison Robinson@alison_t1d·8 Ara

Hi #type1diabetes #DOC, after trying out the Omnipod DASH for a month, I wanted to jot down some of my thoughts for anyone thinking about getting one. FYI I usually use a t:slim with Dexcom G6 on Control IQ. I have no affiliation with Tandem, Dexcom or Omnipod. (1/13)
