Struggling with Food as a Type 1 Diabetic

Random Thought #t1dandfood #notfeelingwell I feel like I have an extremely significant neutral relationship with food. being type 1 and loving food is like a double negative. I snack on foods in my most opposite extreme moments. boredom and stressed are the most major opposites on my scale. happy and sad fall in between those, and then it's like a mix of hormones and I eat and snack with those as well. sometimes food is my positive fuel and energy and I keep my glucose level. other times food and I are like the double duo of destruction for my glucose. in the end, it hurts my either way wether I've been eating healthy, snacking healthy, my glucose either sky rockets or plummets. Does anyone else feel like this?

OmniPod vs Tslim: Which is Better for a Lean Build?

I’m looking into getting the omni pod or the tslim. I have a really lean build and not sure which one is better as for as cannula and insertion goes. I like how the omnipod would be automatic, like how the dexcom g6 goes in, but I’m already familiar with the sites for tslim since it’s the same company that makes medtronic’s. but I hate that I have to physically pull the needle out, it doesn’t just come out. anyone have any thoughts?
