@shlymbicky Sometimes our "scary lows" are at numbers T1s would consider "par for the course" (like, say, 80 mg/dl). #dsma

RT @shlymbicky: how about...are folks aware that people with t2 sometimes have scary lows even when not on insulin? @DiabetesSocMed #dsma

@tmana @Rc_Tomato I don’t think we should be the judge of who needs more or less peer support. Peer support should be there for anyone who needs it. #DSMA

@MTL613 @shlymbicky Sulfonylureas do it a lot. The stimulation of the beta cells to produce insulin. Really bad in older adults or w/ any kidney issues. #dsma

#dsma Love one another. We are all we have... And Our kids have to live with our choices.

@shlymbicky I learned this from T2s I've met in recent years. Didn't know before then. Thanks for asking! #dsma
Gautam Narang @hylozoists
@Abby_Moschell Isn't it too risky to be voicing concerns about price hikes openly on chats. I believe someone is always listening. #DSMA
Brenda Bell @tmana
Some T2 orals (and now, injectables) can cause even crazier lows (like T1 crazy lows) #dsma

@DiabetesSocMed @zsquaredmama EDUCATE! And maybe yell a little- especially w/ asshat comments like-"I cured my T1 diabetes & I don't have to take shots anymore" #DSMA

@MTL613 #dsma not necessarily. It can simply be because our sugars are twitchy and can spike then drop without warning.

@shlymbicky Yes, anecdotally & Table 8.2 in Standards of Care, which lists Rx drugs classes w/ hypo risk. https://t.co/tn8T8BNSzm #dsma

@MTL613 @shlymbicky loads of reasons from IOB to exercise - loads in common with what causes our lows. #dsma
