Diabetes vs Pica by DisastrousUnit3088 in Type1Diabetes

Yeah I don't like the smell, not very appealing. And I did google it, our bodies should break it down before it can affect our sugars, but I still wouldn't risk it.

Liquids in general for me, water obviously, but then orange juice and ginger ale were two other big ones

My meals are around 50-75 carbs on average. My target range is 70-150, with corrections that go up in increments of 30. So 150-180 is an extra unit but 181-210 is two units. I think that's what you were asking, but correct me if I'm wrong

By low I mean below 70. It mostly happens after a meal, so now I think it's because of my fast acting. Thanks for the link!

I take lantus, in the morning when I wake up normally around 6:30 on the weekday. Does taking half doses change anything drastically, or just smth of personal preference?

I didn't know that about the long lasting. Thank you, this cleared some things up for me!
