This is a very large fear of mine but we've been lucky to have extra supplies in almost every T1D category. People seem to forget that most diabetic supplies in the US are gated by insurance who make it extremely difficult to create a small stash. We bring extra ( most that i had to cash pay for ) insulin, long acting , CGM's, multiple blood glucose monitors. We also recently were able to bring my sons old X2 with us on vacation. So we have backups for everything.
Also use facebook groups if your in a situation like OP is in. I could post on my local T1D group looking for long acting and could get 5-10 offers.
They also had a way to share friend codes in game. I don’t remember exactly what it was but there was a mechanism that had letters on a wall and combined with a few other things you could make out someone’s code.
What do you use then to make these decisions? If you use your eyes, app, nutrition label or Chatgpt, you would still have the same variables. You're still making the decision based on averages, and best guesses.
I meant more in a general way, like a piece of pizza is usually around X carbs. We have apps that make the guess a bit easier but it's almost always a guess. I was thinking could this look at a photo and know there's a sweet potato, a piece of chicken and some corn and give a basic idea.
Amazon pharmacy is probably one of the best interactions I’ve had with Amazon and pharmacies in general. We moved everything we could to it. The support has been great. Get things quickly all the information is right up front.
I don't know if they still have it but they used to have a giant catalog that was the same thing in paper form. Super thin paper thousands of pages of just random stuff.
I haven't had a key fail on my 2017 yet, but the keys are all over the place in terms of how they feel. The delete key works but feels like not actuating properly. The spacebar is awful.
I'd like one that will show future repeated tasks in the list. If I have something that repeats every week id like to see in the list with the stuff I have planned for the next few weeks.
I get that email pretty much every month now, nice thing about Cox is they don't do anything if they have to send it out. It's really just a notification.
I bought a Gillette Super Speed years ago on Ebay. They are widely considered the least aggressive and best for starters. I also have a Merkur Futur but I would not recommend that for a first timer.
I've been using a Double Edge safety razor for over 10 years. I can't imagine going back to a Mach 3 style razor. I can buy a 100 pack of Astra's for $11 shipped.
