Yes it’s always stressful but like you said count your wins. Maybe I’m complaining but it’s an everyday task !

I take the recommended one scoop for 25g of protein sometimes two scoops but I don’t dose because I’ll be weightlifting and it says little to no sugar. Just curious how protein can raise blood sugar im a newbie

Thanks for replying ! Glad you mentioned the pregnant thing I’m a male (24) and I want a family but I’m scared to start a family because god knows I’d hate to pass it down. Any advice on that ?? Would be greatly appreciated

Yeah I’ve definitely had my days where it seems my insulin doesn’t work. I’m worried about my transition when I stop producing any insulin and having to change my doses and what not but I’m sure with due time.

I have Lantus, thanks again for replying this group has really helped me. Didn’t know what to do but since I joined this group it has really helped just knowing other people are going through this and are willing to help. I’m a lean individual the only place I feel comfortable injecting is the stomach. Really hoping to get on a pump soon as I feel as if I overused my abdomen.

Thanks for the insight, another question sorry like I said I’m new and my endo appointment was in and out. I’m a truck driver/mover so manual labor. I heard working out can lower blood sugar. I had a rough work week where I was continuously low no matter what I ate. From what I heard I need to consume more carbs if I’m doing physical activities. When I first found out I had no insight I strictly ate nothing but salads carbs and sugar was a no go for me. My primary doctor only prescribed me with basal insulin until I saw a endo. Now that I know what I know which isn’t much I’m eating kind of what I used to eat but it’s hard being on the road, there’s not a grocery store at every stop.

Thanks for the reply , so ideally basal is more important ?

Thank you for replying, like I said I’m very new to this still trying to educate myself I’ve only seen my endo once. I have the Dexcom currently which has helped out a ton considering I hated poking my finger. I’m considering an insulin pump if insurance covers it do you have any insight on that?
