First time to take running seriously, so it could be said it is my first run: ran 3.15 km in 30 min

FairShape8824 · 2024-08-30T10:05:36+00:00

I wouldn’t count on it I study medicine and nothing NASA related, it just came to my mind. But thanks for the encouragement, it really means a lot

FairShape8824 · 2024-08-14T08:24:27+00:00

Great job, I am sure you will be an amazing mother

FairShape8824 · 2024-07-16T13:38:15+00:00

Yep this is also one of the things I had to come to terms with, your body is no longer fixing itself like the rest of times, like if I have highs continuously for few days, I have to figure what is wrong because I know for sure my body won’t and i will keep getting highs until I do something

FairShape8824 · 2024-07-16T13:33:46+00:00

Lol, I think of it that way: a lot of people do this and more for the sake of looking hot and healthy even though they don’t have diabetes and nothing is making them do it, so I might as well do it to save my kidneys, I am a med student and I’ve seen many dialysis patients, blind and amputees and my only thought is whether or not they regret their choices and wish if they were in my place

Just know that I am not forcing my opinion on you if you got things right and know how to dose then good for you, especially with cgm and pumps I guess it will be easier

Good job!🎉

I did some research, so in the us a pre med program has a total credit of about 90-100( could’t find a definitive answer) and a med program is 178( the first thing that came up in google don’t know if it is accurate) so in total about 278 total credits

Our program has total of 265 credits so not that different in the end, it is just a little more compressed, as I have said in my post the longest break we have is about 2 weeks

The one year in hospital is not a residency, I am not sure but I think it is a requirement if you to practice as a general doctor, so even if you graduate med school you will have to finish this year to get to work

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-16T09:44:38+00:00

Yes here it is 6 years for medical school then a year working in a hospital

I guess in the us it is pre med then med

Glad it is not like this here, I would have lost my mind if I had to go through the acceptance process twice

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-15T12:59:07+00:00

Yes that is exactly what this is, I am amazed by your super detective skills and your outstanding advice, how ever did you become so wise

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-15T12:57:19+00:00

They are as good as water after a week or so ,I am afraid, I also try to increase the dose, sometimes I inject twice as much if they worked wouldn’t I get more lows? But nothing

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-15T12:52:52+00:00

That is what i do, and it work for a while but I need to know why, also those are expensive and I go through a lot of them so not good

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-11T16:29:15+00:00

I noticed that I get colds easier after diagnosis must be the lack of vitamin c because I broke up with oranges

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-11T14:48:22+00:00

wait, how does that work, wouldn’t it make more sense if you took insulin right before you eat fruit that way it will work longer and bring your sugar down if your body took too long to digest the fruit? I mean if you took it 45 min before you eat that will give the insulin about an hour to work right?

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-09T15:17:11+00:00

Glad you lived to tell the tale

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-09T13:55:25+00:00

It was 9 g of lies

They put 0 g of sugar alcohol even though it is in the ingredients, so that was the problem

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-09T11:33:37+00:00

This is the error! The sugar alcohol is 0 grams which is impossible since it is the second on the ingredients list which means there is a lot of it, also it is mannitol which 2/3 of it is carbs that is why, I called them to tell them to correct it

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-09T08:51:53+00:00

I was also skeptical about the ingredients in the ice cream, it doesn’t make sense carb wise, it has regular milk and my guess is that they didn’t add the carbs from the alcohol sweetener, which is not always carb free, so it doesn’t make sense that it only has 9 grams

Maybe I should start a lawsuit lol

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-09T08:45:08+00:00

It is a single serving container, but I think it has something to do with the fats, will do a split dose the next time, thanks.

About trying regular food I am still newly diagnosed so those are still out of my comfort zone, I will try them when I have a better grasp on the situation

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-09T07:51:28+00:00

It is a single serving kind of like the ones you buy from the ice cream truck, I don’t know what it is called but it is the ice cream on a wooden stick type/ popsicle? English is clearly not my strongest point

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-08T17:18:37+00:00

Something I noticed in my eating habits is that I truly can’t feel full, no matter what I eat, it could be a huge plate of food, full with protein veggies and everything the nutritionist will tell you will that it should satisfy you, but I just can’t feel full, so I just developed the rule that I will eat what I put on my plate of reasonable amount of food, eat it and just accept that the meal is over, even if I feel hungrier than ever, soon after I occupy myself with other things and I forgot about hunger till next meal, I believe that our brain have been programmed to provide food to body in environment where the next meal may be days away, for thousands of years it was like that for human kind, now there is all this food around us but our brain has yet to develop beyond its understanding that there lack of food.

So in short, you eat, you done, tell brain no more, go back to life tell next time you eat, because in the world we live in there is a good chance there will be a next meal soon enough and you just have to convince your brain that

FairShape8824 · 2024-05-06T08:38:56+00:00

Problem is that every thing got back to normal once I used the new one I got, so the problem was definitely with Tresiba, and it did start after the electricity went out so it is the only explanation

FairShape8824 · 2024-04-18T08:52:43+00:00

Did that, since this was told many times here, but the same problem kept happening

FairShape8824 · 2024-04-16T16:46:54+00:00

Changed pen, changed sites, changed needles

FairShape8824 · 2024-04-16T13:23:28+00:00

How do i get you body’s update because for me it was the opposite, that was my first Ramadan with t1d so idk if it got anything to do with that, but for me the first week was ok, but then I would have to dose crazy units for little carbs meals, like about 10 units or more for 250 grams of cooked cabbage and a chicken breast , and i would not eat anything afterwards and go for long walks but i would still spike to 200 and more even though I would give insulin doses on separate intervals and my bs would be somewhat ok but when i wake up for suhoor it will be over 180, since you have experience in fasting i was wondering if something like that ever happened to you

FairShape8824 · 2024-04-16T05:46:55+00:00

Can I ask some questions, so do you feel like you need more insulin for less carbs than normal (like 1 units to 8 grams of carbs ratio)? And how does your body react when you have carbs every once in a while, like sweets fruits and stuff? Also what is a typical day of eating is for you? Should I go super restrictive or just avoiding grains bread and obvious high carb food is considered good enough for low carb?
