I happened upon this site while searching for real, t1d-tested, dexcom guidelines.
And.
Wow! What a resource! Necessary community!
I’m a public high school teacher in San Francisco.
I’ve been teaching for nearly a decade.
I’ve JUST undergone what I’m calling my “coming out (with t1d)” and it’s not done. Yet. Or ever.
CGM has enabled me to learn so much about what t1d means for my 🎶staying alive:notes:
Sooo…hi!
I’m here!
I’m alive!
I’m joining this community!
And I’m grateful.

@bryn I think you’ve found the right source for not only Dexcom tips, but also for tips on how not only to stay alive with diabetes but to be UNLIMITED!
And with your being a teacher hopefully you can teach us something!

Hi @bryn, welcome!!
Hope you enjoy the community; it’s really a fabulous source of advice and support.
I’m an SF local myself, with a T1D toddler and a (slightly older) kid in Kinder in the public schools.
if you have any questions, many, many folks on here are really great resources!

I teach Spanish! It’s great, and challenging, and requires a good healthy dose of both creativity and resilience - t1d prepared me in more ways than I can count!
