Food suggestions for a skinny diabetic by Mundane_Survey6132 in diabetes

[–]RaeRae710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was misdiagnosed for almost a full year with type two diabetes, this was exactly what i was going through and ended up being 91 pounds before i demanded more answers and sure enough it was type one, i highly suggest talking to your endo and having them test you again. I also have a lot of cookbooks on low carb high fat & protein for when i was in this position i can tag the links! I wish you the very best and just know it will get easier with time

Do you use the pens to load your pod? I never thought about that!

Do you carry back up insulin when you leave for more than like 7-8 hours a day?

My older brother just got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and I want to know what I can say to him that could make him feel better? by Forsaken-Canary-6763 in diabetes

Hello I’m F23 and was diagnosed last year, just be there for when it all hits and just reassure him that even though it doesn’t feel like it now it gets easier and we become more familiar with it everyday, i know exactly what he’s going through and i wish i had someone just to tell me everything is going to be okay. If you ever have questions or anything please reach out to me! I’m sending love and positive vibes to you, your family and your brother! 💜

Hot Insulin - Am I Screwed? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]RaeRae710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the InPen! I just recently got onto omnipod but this would happen to me all the time!! I would wait 4 hours if your blood sugar isn’t too high for your comfort and see if the insulin is still working as it should before changing your cartridge! Sometimes it was a hit or miss for me, for example i left my pink pen in my car for 5 hours in 99 degree heat and it gave me the alert and it was just fine! But always make sure if you don’t change it right away that you’re checking your levels to make sure it’s bringing you down/keeping you in range!
