  • I’m using Medtronic with tube and still got a problem like that once or twice a year… I found the best patch for sticking the CGM in place (bit smaller than your pods) is kinesiology tape, 7.5cm wide, long as you need, stretches well, dries quickly, lasts me 6 days between changes, costs $5 for a 3 month+ supply.






  • Wow that’s heavy man. Thanks for sharing, it doesn’t sound like fun and I must assume it’s always been that way for you growing up, in which case kudos for recognising the negative behaviour. Do you and your brother ever talk about your mother’s behaviour towards you? I wonder if there’s some solace you can both find in sympathy and support. I don’t know that your mother’s behaviour is likely to change but it may be quicker to change how it affects you both (and the second order effects you wrote about).

    Anyways, you sound like a thoughtful individual so you’re going to be fine, we all just hope you have the best journey on the way there.
