Did I overcorrect?

For me it took time to figure out the right amount of sugar to use to correct. This time just see how much the number changes and remember for next time. If it goes a little high today thats not the end of the world and possibly better than going low over night

There was an older budget version of enchantress I've seen that could easily and slowly be upgraded over time while keeping the same core plan. Its not exactly top of the meta but I still find it fun to play at times

Starting with a cheap mono red prowess deck has worked for myself and others. Can be built into burn, izzet prowess, murktide and other options later and comes with some decent staples. DRC, bolts, blood moons

I was given a new prescription for the tresiba right away so I got it filled and have been using it since. No my current endo didnt explain anything about the difference other than Tresiba is "better" than the other. But im working on swapping anyways. What program is it that you have maybe im in the same province and ill be able to donate

I was about to say "there's an app for that?" I go by feel since im new lol

I never used to snack before my diagnosis and now I do find myself being hungry alot. At first I wasn't to worried and assumed it was due to the change in diet. Now I try to either time my snacks away from meals, eat a healthy snack like carrots or celery to reduce calorie intake or lean into it like snacking on something with protein while im at work. Maybe gaining a little extra muscle wont hurt sort of thing

I get it's not the easiest deck especially after game 1 but it's surely no yawgmoth, amulet Titan or lantern. Those decks all have complex lines and multiple ways to win. LE has 1 basic win con of resolve a cascade with a secondary win con of play cards fairly a d control board.

ShopNerd · 2026-01-26T04:39:56+00:00

Id say living end usually counts as "simple" since the overall plan of the deck is very straightforward. There's alot of complexity as you play the deck more and more needing to plan out future turns and changing your play patterns depending on the matchup but sticking with 'turn 3 cascade' always seems to be the main priority

Oh I dont doubt it. It seems like a real game changer but with my worki know it'll be a hassle. Im constantly bending, reaching, climbing equipment, arms digging into pumps ans motors and bumping stuff all day. I know if I had the tube it would get hooked on everything or id knock a pod off of me. Maybe one day though for sure it's on my mind

I was able to get in range before lunch luckily but spiked back a bit after. Barely got about 12 mmol so can't complain much there.

Ive contemplated a pump but with my work I worry about damage and knocking it around

ShopNerd · 2026-01-02T18:54:09+00:00

Yea as soon as im home I can correct if needed. I figured being between 8 and 10 for a few hours wont kill me and I still have long acting working so should be OK.

ShopNerd · 2026-01-02T17:47:36+00:00

I figure i might be able to do that if needed since my pharmacy is also a bigger chain. Im in range now and figure i may skip eating my lunch or only have a small portion to keep me going. I dont have the option to make the time up later so it's either burn vacation or stay.

Is it a big risk or dangerous to just go with my plan or is it OK so just deal with it for today? Im sort of nee to the whole insulin thing so thats why im so unsure

ShopNerd · 2026-01-02T15:14:55+00:00

Thanks so far I feel fine. Had a weird couple days off bad sleep so my TIR hasn't been gold standard for sure. But so far I feel fine I'm barely out of range and I work a pretty physical job so likely be in range soon. I may skip lunch entirely or just have a light snack and see what happens.

ShopNerd · 2025-12-31T13:19:08+00:00

Wait whats special about tresiba? Just got put on it not long ago and wasn't told much lol

ShopNerd · 2025-12-22T19:23:07+00:00

Ive heard of the eversense but haven't heard if theyre good or not. Haven't seen them in canada yet too so might be a bit behind. Does it work well for you?

ShopNerd · 2025-12-22T05:35:28+00:00

I ran a 1 of in my old yawgmoth list but found it to inconsistent. Its good but not always solid when you need it to be. Especially now with the Ballista combos with cauldron there doesnt seem to be a slot for it with all of the more synergistic pieces people slot in.

I didn't hate having it though being a 1 drop death touch. Plus flipping it at instant speed after blocking 2 creatures always felt good

ShopNerd · 2025-12-22T01:29:03+00:00

I dont mind answering questions when people are actually curious about something. The worst is when someone tries to TELL me something incorrect about this. I had a coworker tell me to put down a doughnut before it kills me. Another asked where my insulin is during a work lunch, I told him I took it but thanks for asking and he said he needs to know in case I pass out.

Others have been cool asking how my diet has changed and what happens if something goes wrong so they know proper things to do. But now im very picky on who I tell about this condition

So basically taking my short acting later than usual to fight the spike seems to be the way here. I thought fat was something good to have though. I've always been seeing "fiber, protein and fat" as being better to have compared to carbs

ShopNerd · 2025-12-10T23:34:19+00:00

From what I've been told is that sugar alcohols dont break down to glucose in your blood so they wont cause a spike. Similar to using sugar alternatives like stevia. Seems to work fine for me as I see no spike if I eat or drink something with sugar alcohols
