Yes, I could ask my local AI, I'm just curious if anyone here's wondering the same thing.

Calf raises are absolutely diabolical as well, if you haven't tried them. There's some lore around this that the calf muscles are better adapted to absorb glucose, I haven't dug in other than to verify they do work.

The invention of the CGM might only be second to insulin in improving the lives os T1Ds.

I have to repeatedly go to a doctor to get prescription refills for a drug that I have to self-manage. The doctor provides no input day-to-day, where a mis-dose is a death sentence (the first time I nearly put myself into a coma, doc was like "oh yeah that can happen: I can give you glucagon shots as a scrip". Thanks for the heads up!). But cool, to get the drugs that keep me alive, I have to talk to a doctor that will look at my Dexcom charts and mumble some things.

So no surprise that the ADA is a fully industry-captured organization, even though I'm certain that there are good people doing good work for the right reasons.

Does weight lifting have an immediate effect? Like so many T1D things (I suspect you'll know what I mean): insulin on board/carbs on board/sleep/cortisol/temperature/phase of moon/vibes all play a part, haha. If you like doing the same thing and getting different results, you might be Diabetic.

Anyways, hope you're managing well, and may your time in range be great!

The Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937 was lobbied for by hunters to self-tax (excise taxes) and reversed a long decline of wildlife in North America. The taxes raised $1.3 billion in 2025 alone, dedicated to state wildlife conservation and public access projects.

This is one pillar, there's a fishing one, duck stamps, etc.: hunters pay their own way for conservation (well, much of the P-R money is gun/ammo sales from non-hunters, but hey).

I expend a lot more energy on plans, though. I've got a full "Karpathy knowledgebase" that's effectively my jumping off point, so some of my projects have literally dozens or hundreds of docs they can source to build plans.

Skittles candies are too grainy for me. I know they're a go to for many.

Like didn't even warn me of the dangers of hypoglycemia. After I nearly went comatose one time, "oh yeah, we have glucagon you can get if you'd like a prescription". Which is cool after you've been passed out in front of a restaurant, with people looking at you like they're going to hit you with narcan.

One of my secret terrors is getting narcaned by a cop.

You're basically looking for something that's analogous: as crack is to cocaine, is to sugar. Hits fast and doesn't last as long.

We really need some version of "permanent prescriptions" for insulin. Not OTC, because then insurance doesn't cover it, but infinitely renewable, so you don't have to go see an endo just to continue living.

So I just keep sour patch kids all the time in my pack.

But I'm always up for something else, especially when the SPKs are in an "ick" season. I appreciate the recommendation. SPKs have an absurdly high glycemic index though and seem pretty predictable for me.

I really need to get proper glucose tabs and stuff, and be like a "professional diabetic"... but I'm working on time-in-range, not "did you swab with alcohol" at this point, lol. I just feel good that I'm not shooting through my clothes.

Sorry for the day, fellow traveller, hope you get things nailed shortly.

Just this morning, I ended up bolusing correctly, but then an emergency caused me to perform a lot more exercise than I had planned on. Then, bam, I'm paralyzed in bed, thinking about calling the ambulance, eating sour patch kids.

And believe me, when sour patch kids are an effective medicine, you have a disease that must just exist for spite.

So yeah, I feel like I can control conditions better with MDI, and can't seem to make the jump to a pump, even though it'd almost certainly improve my health and long-term survivability.
