Baby mice that are given broad-spectrum antibiotics developed fewer beta cells in their pancreas and were more susceptible to developing Type 1 diabetes. Suppression of the intestinal fungus Candida dublinensis is associated with increased risk of diabetes, and supplementation with the fungus reduces the incidence of diabetes in mice genetically prone to diabetes.

The truly amazing thing about healthcare in Poland is that doctors generally don't know how to issue prescriptions according to the current rules (pharmacists are trained in that).

So a doctor that I'm seeing every half a year, issues me a prescription that needs to be bought out within a month, with prescribed dosage that technically prevents me from buying it all within that month. Except that apparently she did issue it "the old way", so I could.

Not to mention that diabetologists need reminding that you generally use up more insulin than your "typical" dosage, because 1) every time you use it, you use some up to check if the needle isn't blocked, and 2) you may need to adjust dosage over time (and if you have it low, that usually means increasing dosage).

My current routine is not working & my BG has been awful. Large spike in the AM when I eat literally anything (cortisol yay!), sustained high until the evening then a multi-hour descent to hypo when my #gastroparesis kicks in, followed by a rebound as I #EatTheKitchen.

So I’m switching things up. Quick small breakfast, hop on the bike to fight spike, then cold brew as a treat. Hopefully addressing the early high will tamp down the later variance.

sonen m typ 1 diabetes ska testa pump. Vet ju inget om sånt här. Har fått fyra olika förslag, vi tycker Omnipod (5) verkar bäst? Finns det nån här som har nån erfarenhet... eller det är väl bara att testa antar jag. De är väl rätt dyra oxå så gissar att avdelningen inte skulle förskriva saker som inte funkar
