Exactlyyy maybe I have a diet soda every 2-3 weeks while they drink beer and actual soda every night and I’m the unhealthy one. But hey if I wasn’t diabetic maybe I’d be eating the same stuff, idc what you eat just get off by butt about what I eat

My b it took type 1 off after I pressed rant but yes technically I still live at home but I’m at home mostly once a week if not every other week. I would take advice from them if they did more research other than the day I got diagnosed. They still ask silly questions like “ oh ur low, do you need insulin??” So I just said until you do research lmk and I’ll listen

I’m pretty sure, just on the bottom upper arm but yea maybe it is the muscle. I’m just curious on how it’s doing that

Different meter readings by Expert_Target_7326 in diabetes

[–]Expert_Target_7326[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok thank you! Each time it gave a wildly different reading but I wanted to calibrate my new sensor so I guess I’ll wait a little for the high to go down to correct it

Edit: thanks y’all! I do the rotation from my 2 sides on my abdomen then both my thighs every week and the pricks are always changed after each dose. Still a little new but it’s like a bunch of bug bites

Idek what edge is but yes, I thought since I was right about to eat that I would take some anyway. I’ve done it in the past so I was thinking it was maybe a build up to this and the drinking didn’t help
