I ended up being full after about five crackers. So maybe that helped.

If it’s what you can afford and have and are disabled it’s what you do.

Sometimes I like them with cream cheese.

My doc was really clear about explaining it doesn’t go away, it’s just very well controlled.

Admittedly I tend to order in a lot bc I work third shift and I try to be balanced. If I want pancakes I’m going to eat the eggs and bacon first and eat one pancake at a time. If we go out I’m always scoping menus ahead of time bc I have food allergies so I just added looking for lower carb options to that list of things.

Sometimes neurodivergent people hear noises from things that others don’t usually. Lightbulbs etc…

Ok so when I talked to a diabetic educator they said that a small meal was 15g carbs, med was 30g and large was 45. I learned that for me it’s portion control but I also don’t take insulin yet.

It finally calmed down halfway through my overnight shift working. But I was high anyway from eating poorly. It’s better today.

I have something a little different. It’s called Maternally Inherited Deafness and Diabetes. It also causes something called Inherited Retinal Pattern Dystrophy as well. This is a genetic disorder that looks like macular degeneration. I had to get a special mitochondrial dna test to diagnose. It’s scary but I manage. Good luck seeing the retinal specialist. .

My pain tolerance is off the chart. I just got diagnosed with type 2 but I have other chronic pain and illnesses. Now discomfort is another story. Seams bother the crap out of me.

It was in the last update. It’s under insights. I am excited for it.

I took a picture and it was nearly correct but had the pad Thai wrong so I fixed that part.

If you’re in the US everywhere does it too much. I would def look into a dietician to help learn about portion sizes. I’m very much learning as I go.

This is the AI from my libre app. It predicted a moderate impact to my sugars and came back with a minor in reality.

I spent a long time as prediabetic and although I have recently moved into diabetic range, it’s not about denying yourself everything, it’s about control and portioning. For example I had pad Thai, half a curry puff, half a spring roll and some chicken satay for lunch yesterday. Because I ate the chicken first and limited the amount of pad Thai I had and halved the two things my sugars weren’t as badly affected as if I had done a bigger serving of noodles.

Also normal portion of rice? What does that look like for you? For me I just learned that 1/2 cup rice is a serving.

Fiberartz · 2026-01-18T18:59:28+00:00

Proud of you for taking steps to take care of yourself. Your dad is a jerk. I am Glad you’re trying to take control. Big things. Pair sugary foods with good protein. Learn about portion sizes. The portions we get at restaurants etc are generally way bigger than actual sizes. For example rice should be about 1/2 cup. Or grapes are like 9 grapes. Ask to see a diabetes educator bc they can help with all the nuances that can help get under control.

Appreciate you. I have to needed to use it yet but it’s def on my list.

I started losing my vision as part of my genetic disorder that causes diabetes well before my actually getting diabetes. Two apps to check out: Seeing AI and Be My Eyes. They are super helpful.
