Let’s discuss genetic testing. 🤔 Genetic testing is becoming increasingly popular and is easy to even do at home! Lots of type 1 parents have their children tested for type 1 antibodies. Knowledge is power, but the mental toll could be tough if a result is found. 🚫 • In the US, I only see the dark side of genetic testing. What can insurance companies do if they have this data? Raise premiums? Deny coverage? 🇺🇸 • In Estonia, the government is offering DNA testing and personalized lifestyle advice to prevent or control the onset of diseases. 🇪🇪 I think this is fascinating! But it would never work in the US for-profit system. • What are your thoughts? I discussed mine more in-depth in a blog post, link is in my BIO 💕

It’s world emoji day 🤷‍♀️ describe your diabetes day with emojis 👌💕

Recharging and going for a second round of great accuracy 💪 ...don’t mind the residue marks. Who else isn’t bothered to take it off? 🤷‍♀️ Also, see the link in my bio for how I extend my sensors past 6 days 👀

Sensors and Swimming 🏊‍♀️ 💦 Anyone else experience this...? When I go swimming, in a pool, I notice that my sensor has little gaps and actually doesn’t show accurate readings and will show up and down arrows. Today, you can see exactly when I was in the water. My BG was stable the entire time, but there are humps all over, that didn’t exist. I am guessing this is from the temperature and pressure differences. Anyone know? 👀

My favorite summer tanks 💕 Thank you @aline.nico / @myntprint for sending these to me! And how cute are the pins, stickers, and iron-ons? 👀 Aline is a fellow T1 and you can order these from @myntprint Etsy 🎉 P.S. be ready for a giveaway soon! 😍

Tell me, to what extent has your doctor discussed mental health with you? • I asked you guys in a poll if your doctor has ever discussed mental health with you, 69% of respondents said no. However, 87% of you feel that discussing mental health with your doctor is important. Clearly there is a issue here. Why do we find it an extremely important topic, but it’s not discussed? 🤔 • I would encourage all of you to bring this topic up at your next appointment. • When mental health or blood sugars are out of control, more than likely both are. And to ignore one aspect, is allowing both to suffer. ❕ This topic is extremely interesting. If you think so too, check out my latest blog post, Diabetes and Mental Health, link in bio 💕 • Let’s start the dialogue.
