It looked like Nokia felt shaken by the iPhone and had the right mindset at the time, but their actions didn't match what was presented, the world would have been different indeed if Nokia had stepped up their game in this time.
I'm really intrigued by your statement that your diabetes is well managed, if I wake up in the wrong side of the bed, my insulin resistance change!
Wondering how you can maintain that, do you have a very rigid routine and meal plan?
I'm using Libre2 as part of my prescription and it has been working wonders by alerting early on before it is too low or too high to have enough time for a correction dose, or a small bite. The fact that you can see the trajectory of Glucose going up or down is by itself a reason to get.
Hm, I'm not sure. I don't talk with other diabetics much so I guess I don't know what other's experiences are like. I go to sleep and wake up on the same schedule every day including weekends. My eating is not rigid, but does tend to be consistent just because my daily routine is consistent. I'm not "low carb" or anything, but I do follow a healthy-ish diet and avoid hyper sugary foods (soda, coffee milkshakes, sugary cereals) like the plague. Diabetes or not, no one should be eating that stuff :)
I do miss having the moment-to-moment trajectory information. Knowing whether I'm still going up 90 minutes after a meal was valuable. But I find I'm able to feel when I'm above 200 mg/dL, so can just correct by feel most of the time.
Sorry I know this is off topic, but I'm a recently diagnosed T1D and I would like to get more information about Loop and other loop-like open-source systems.
My son is T1D since age 7. He is now on the OmniPod pump and the Dexcom G6 sensor. It’s been a very effective combination that’s covered by insurance. The challenge with the open source projects is limited equipment that can be hacked.
Most people on loop have omnipod and dexcom g6 also so I don’t think it’s that limited. It’s true that it takes a few months for new devices to get integrated but open source APS are the only systems lets you choose what devices you want to use with them.
One thing I wish I'd been told more about when first diagnosed was the possibility of prolonging the honeymoon period. It was decades ago, and back then the advice was to eat a fairly normal diet and just dose as much insulin as needed.
If I was back in that position I'd go low carb high exercise from the start, and do everything I could to reduce my insulin requirements as much as possible. There are cases of new T1s coming of insulin completely, or just a low basal dose for multiple years.
