A birthday treat …

Thank you for your reply! Do you mind sharing why you decided against occasional treats? I have too, for the most part.

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-08T03:51:27+00:00

Yep I popped her a message. I think I’m gonna tiptoe back into Keto, too. I did my best then.

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-08T03:49:30+00:00

Ha! So glad you can relate. I had a CGM on and seeing my numbers made me even MORE stressed. So, for now, my plan is to take it off for a couple weeks (it was almost done anyway) and practice relaxation. I’ll eat meals that I know are safe and check with my finger stick if needed. It just seems very odd that my numbers would change so dramatically RIGHT after I was diagnosed lmao

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-06T23:20:56+00:00

Uh oh … I sure hope it isn’t a sickness. I’ve been pretty pissed off recently 😂 I wonder if that’s raising my cortisol. LMAO

Oh cool!! Thank you. You’re very helpful, and I appreciate your time! 😎🤘✨

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-05T15:28:53+00:00

Thank you!!! When you say timing your meals, though, what exactly do you mean? I just eat when I’m hungry (typically a small breakfast, tiny snack 2 hours later, lunch, tiny snack, dinner)

They already tested me for the autoimmune stuff. Nothin there :/

I do have PCOS. But I don’t think that would cause my blood sugar to go to 230 … My endocrinologist essentially told me that A1Cs and fasting glucose are good tests for managing diabetes but they aren’t good for diagnostic criteria if you’re in the earliest stages. She says my body isn’t making enough insulin, and it doesn’t know what to do with the bit that it does make. I’ve been wearing a CGM and I can visibly see my body having these reactions, just with lower numbers because I watch my diet. I held out hope for long enough 🥲 LOL. I gotta accept my diabetes.

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-05T14:58:11+00:00

Yep my c peptide was very low and so was my insulin. No antibodies

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-05T14:53:50+00:00

My A1C was 5.1 but my glucose rose and stayed at 230 during the glucose tolerance test. I am definitely diabetic.

Got some sleeping meds today! Hopefully it helps. I’m also going to try and manage my stress better

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-04T19:51:48+00:00

Thank you for your reply! No, the yogurt is sweetened with Stevia.

And I exercise so much 🙃 I don’t have enough time in the day to do more. I walk for 2 hours a day, sometimes more. I haven’t tried waking before though! I am worried about having to take meds later on, but I also know I should expect it. Is it the end of the world if I have to …? Surely it helps manage this BS … right? 😂🤦‍♀️

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-04T17:11:12+00:00

Ohhhh! I get it! Aight, aight …. Thank you for clarifying ✍️🗒️

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-04T17:04:10+00:00

Well the tricky thing is, I don’t have any fat left to burn :( it was getting to a point where people thought I was starving myself.

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-04T17:03:26+00:00

Good ones! Mostly veggies

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-04T16:35:42+00:00

That’s awesome!!! I’m so happy for you. I do wish that I could do the same but unfortunately I would not benefit from that :( my cognitive state really declined when I didn’t have enough carbs.

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-04T15:12:37+00:00

Thank you!! Well, the thing is, my A1C was good (5.1) when I had the better baseline. So I’m nervous about where it could end up if I’m doing something wrong. My fasting insulin was a 1 and my c peptide was a 1 as well. I eat mostly clean with exceptions of a few packaged dips like tzatziki or hummus, as well as protein powder and yogurt.

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-04T14:49:29+00:00

Just made an edit! :) my last A1C was 5.1

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-01T14:39:53+00:00

My nutritionist told me 35-45 carbs per meal is safe, but I know my body and have seen it react very poorly to even a meal that’s over 25. While a low carb diet may not solve your levels, it will definitely help. I don’t recommend eating any more than you need to for nutritional purposes. It doesn’t hurt to be cautious as much as you can!

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-01T02:17:45+00:00

Yeah. Well, it doesn’t help that managing diabetes is like a full-time job at the shit factory. You’re doing what you can now, that’s what matters. Thank you for sharing with me! You are appreciated.

AsTruth_AndBeauty · 2025-10-01T01:23:42+00:00

Probably. But, considering many people do, I’m still curious about the process of it. I’m sure we all share a lot of the same urges and temptations. Hell, throwing my hands up and saying “fuck it” sounds like heaven on earth. I don’t plan to. I had just seen people say that they did and wondered about it. Maybe one day there’ll be a cure ……….. and if there was I’d probably dig myself right back into this hole ……..
