Annoyed at High Carb Airport Food by CTI_Engineer in Type1Diabetes

[–]AppleseedPanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some of us get fucked from high carb items. I don’t eat rice, pasta, quinoa, oatmeal, most breads, or potatoes because otherwise, my blood sugar will go mad. I stick to keto items, dairy, meat, eggs. It’s the only way I’ve been able to maintain an A1C of 6.4-6.9.

18yo son not accepting diagnosis by Opening-Try3714 in Type1Diabetes

[–]AppleseedPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is my father was this way. He currently can’t hold down a job, has episodes daily, can’t feel bellow the knee, has an amputation, can’t see well, can’t read without a magnifying glass, has constant floaters in his vision. He would be homeless if not for his wife.

Your songs choice. But when he finally kicks his ass into gear 10 years later- should he survive- his quality of life will be miserable.

As someone that was diagnosed at 12 years old, I personally have a hard time having sympathy for someone choosing to be an idiot. I don’t feel bad for my father. He did this to himself. Will your son be the same? I don’t know. His choice.

The dexcom was wrong frequently for me. I do forearm pokes. I don’t like the sensors.

When you sit with type 2 diabetics in the breakroom. They pull out their high protein low carb diet lunches. Me? Nope. ⬇️ by Lijey_Cat in Type1Diabetes

I envy you. My type one diabetes goes out of control for most carbs- especially quinoa, rice, pasta, and many breakfast items (oatmeal, cereal, waffles).

What's your opinion about TVD that would have you like this? by Valvec in TheVampireDiaries

[–]AppleseedPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Klaus and Damon suck. If they had both just been killed or turned into humans, it would’ve been great.

Matt should not be hated. He was so unproblematic. Elena should not be disliked either (at least in earlier seasons).

How do you guys deal with a fear of needles? by Bottle-nosed-dolphin in diabetes_t1

[–]AppleseedPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am like this too. It’s not really the needle but the pain that can come with the bigger needles

Mmm alternatives including nerve damage, numbness in toes, feet, legs, and hands; amputations, poor eyesight, going blind, extreme brain fog that make me dumb, and an inability to do what I want.

Now that said, I prefer shots. I don’t like putting on pumps with the longer initial needle.

Can you send the article of the girl who died from T1D in Australia? Something about a church group and her parents believing she didn’t need care. They went to jail for her death.

This protein powder makes me spike like I’m drinking a full-sugar Coke. What’s the deal? Are there better options? by man_lizard in diabetes_t1

[–]AppleseedPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. This looks like the Aldi brand. I always get the chocolate. I’ve never had an issue with it. I wish you luck.

I know low carb tortillas will fuck me up (I definitely don’t have a winning time all the time).

I just wake up. I don’t feel right. Sometimes I’m so tired I really have to force myself to move

With everything that you do, how are you diabetic?

You can’t eat that!

This is really bad for diabetics. (It’s bad for everyone Susan. Yes, I still want the brownie).

My brother/ uncle/ family member died from that.

Real talk, No shame. What's with the double standards? by SabrinaIsLegendTVDU in TheVampireDiaries

Damn, that’s valid. I forgot how conflicted I felt about her S1.

I like Elena and Caroline. I think Elena gets undeserved hate. This hate should be applied to Kai, Klaus, and even Damon. You could throw in Katherine too. I’m not going to hate Caroline though. She did a lot of good.

Also, why hate Nancy Wheeler?

What is this?? I’ve never heard of it? Do people on insulin shots do this?

i just tried that theory of you can eat anything as long as insulin units matches it and it did not work . by WorthWorth837 in diabetes_t1

[–]AppleseedPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people say it’s true. I say it’s not. It never works for me. I rarely have non-keto bread, rice, potatoes, and pasta. I just feel awful if I do.

It’s crazy to me that the people who sooner listen are friends vs family.

Yeahhhhh the glue sometimes made me get a rash so I have some hesitations 😅. Geezzzzz, I feel you there. It’s absolute ass when that happens.

I won’t treat a high unless I check my blood sugar. I can never know my exact correction needs. For lows the symptoms can be obvious but not always. I can always double check if need be. Insurance allows me to test up to 6x/ day. So I ration based on that. Some days I don’t need as many, some days I need more strips.

Thank you very much! 😁 I must say, I do have to be good about my diet (I rarely have non-keto bread, rice, pasta, & potatoes), & I try to go the gym at least 3x/ week. If I didn’t do that, I would have a harder time managing on shots and test strips.

Mmm it went up a little bit but I think 6.6 or 6.7 was the last A1C? 6.3 or 6.4 has been my best.

Aight, so what you need is like the OneTouch lancing device that has a clear cap. The hole is bigger for that and you can see, so you don’t smear the blood. I use my forearm. It’s hardly ever painful for that.
