My thread is a place for intelligent discourse. Ask questions, present supplementary evidence. Let's learn together. However, if the best you can do is push your own, irrelevant agenda, or offer little more than hyperbole and ad hominem, I will likely block you. Nothing personal.

Night time high due to a kids pizza party and poor choices but again impressed with the overnight landing. The rise is curious though as I've eaten nothing all day and just sat at my desk.

When they're not co-designing @Barbie, @BreakthroughT1D are running excellent events like the T1D Summit in Brisbane (or online) on 27 July. A fantastic list of speakers and topics (and a great MC). Learn more and register now for this free event:

African potato, that is, not the new world variety ;).

Diets of our ancestors:.Yorvik Viking (9th century): Bread and meat.Tollund Man (400 BCE): Fish and grain porridge.Mozambique (100,000 year ago) Mixed diet, including fruit, potatoes, and grains (.

Thank you everyone. The 'fun' vote wins by a landslide :) Although I was at a real wedding, I was speaking hypothetically (I'm rarely in keto and run a fully closed loop). I completely agree that diabetes doesn't have to fundamentally compromise social institutions. Have fun!!.

You're at a wedding. You have no idea how quickly the courses come out. Roll the dice and bolus early? Do I worry about killing my keto run? Or do you dovyour best and have fun?

My Always-On Display care of GlucoDataHandler. Free app, connects to lots.

Managed to get my BGLs displayed on the dash of my car which with phone driving laws is one less thing to worry about. In this case GlucoDataHandler and GlucoDataAuto came through with the goods (plus xDrip+ and Nightscout)

The importance of having a reliable backup profile set up. We had been out all day celebrating a family birthday (fancy restaurant dinner, we even ate cake!) Phone didn't charge and died overnight so no looping. Thankfully my backup profile kept me going until morning.

I'm always nervous about updating the phone and whether @CamAPS_FX will be ok, but it has come through like a champion and the lock screen shows my BGLs via CamAPS and xDrip+ :)

Now that Bernstein has sadly passed, his book won't be updated, which it needs. I'm thinking of creating a supplement to the text co-authored with medical professionals so it can remain relevant. I anticipate this will be a polarising suggestion. Good idea? Waste of time?.

It has taken 3 months to get through the videos but that is a wrap on #ATTD2025. I'll likely write a blog or two on it. At this stage I'm leaning towards what is normal blood sugar and how to achieve your goals with T1D. Thank you @dedocORG for making it all possible.

This is not to diminish the Carers, Academics, and HCPs in any way. If you are standing in the arena with the PWDs, helping them. You are part of the solution. If you are in the stands, criticising, you are part of the problem.

I was unaware of Roosevelt's "man in the arena" quote but it applies so well to living with T1D. Unless you are actually living it (not caring for it, not studying it, not working in it) your experience is valid, but it is inherently different, removed. #ATTD2025 #dedoc

The speaker made a really important point. Not only are goals different between PWDs but they also change over our lives. Whether we're newly diagnosed, trying to be pregnant, looking after a newborn, or trying to live as long as possible, priorities will change #ATTD2025 #dedoc

Here is how tricksy T1D can be. Two consecutive days, same walk, same food. Wildly different BGL response. #ATTD2025 #dedoc

A word of warning; if you set your target in the hypoglycemic range you can impair your hypo awareness. In the UK that means you cannot hold a driver's license. The speaker suggested it also means you impair your glucagon response to low BGLs. #ATTD2025 #dedoc

Speaking at the psychological aspect, whatever target we pursue, we should aim to maintain a reasonable level of Time in Happiness (thinking of you @nerdabetic ) or, as I prefer, Time in Contentment #ATTD2025 #dedoc

If you're unaware of how diabetes could be tougher on women, there was a slide for that. #ATTD2025 #dedoc

FWIW, I know quite a few T1Ds getting high TITR percentages and living normal, happy lives with minimal diabetes management, myself included. They use a combination of meds, tech, diet, and exercise, based on what works for them. It can be done and there is not one 'true' path.
