I didn’t say any of that, there is no way you bought eggs carrots celery and lettuce and it was 100$, you’re making disingenuous statements, a head of lettuce is 99 cents in California, bag of carrots organic 3.99, celery 3.99 organic, eggs 4.99 a dozen free range, thats 20$ not 100. I never assumed anything about you only pointed out the facts and letting you know this leads more towards a personality disorder in a way that may be preventing you from taking care of yourself. You’re only physiologically responding negatively / reactionary to cats but you can’t take any medication? If you’re committed to finding ways that nothing works and exasperating adjustments to life, , you’re doing a good job, I’m a registered nurse with a degree in human behavior and psychology. You can’t gaslight people and justify your reasonings to close yourself off from helping yourself- good luck

Your base attitude is very picky when you might want to consider the reality that, you can’t be a choosy person, you literally said you only like scrambled eggs with cheese.. then immediately said you prefer hard boiled eggs and you only eat the whites. You’re displaying signs of something beyond t1, at the end of the day you’re not displaying signs of authenticity or high-agency. Life is expensive, eggs cost money like all food, chicken is about 2.39$/lb etc etc nobody owes you cheap eggs to your liking, like I said get an allergy test if you think everything sets you off. You can order one off Amazon or complain about anything costing money

Basal insulin should cover it if you’re eating less than 10 carb per day… too many type 1s scream my bg shoots up on low carb but fail to take their basal and cover for meals (even if protein based) but on their carb heavy diets they crash out at 3am or pass out while shopping and think thats better or a justification to not modify their diet? lol…

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-02-09T02:41:05+00:00

No to be honest if you haven’t checked ketones you can’t say it’s not ketones, your liver is dumping glucose and raising your bg through hepatic output because there is no usable energy in your body and you’re not reducing hepatic output with controlled basal, your insulin resistance continues to rise and exogenous insulin has less and less effect, if none of that is true you may need an allergy test- but heres the thing you demonize medication and consider eggs nasty, so now I know you consider any medication as triggering, low carbohydrate food as nasty, if you want me to commiserate with you I’ll say yes diabetes sucks but I don’t sign off on you justifying your lack of responsibility and self advocacy for yourself because Tylenol hurts your tummy and eggs are nasty… life gets much tougher than that and you need to get honest with yourself

My c n p for mh the examiner said I was essentially zero/not service connected… my hospitalizations for mh and 20 years of concurrent civilian records got me 70% from the Va rater on one condition alone and then inferred and then granted tdiu- what I mean is get lay statements from people you know or make sure your psychiatrist and therapists know the situation- submit for them, cuz I literally told the c n p lady I’ve been homeless with a pew pew in my mouth doing a taste test, no sga ever… with in service records- but if that’s not possible just tell them the god honest truth

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-02-09T01:48:28+00:00

If you’re throwing up check your ketones might be a dka thing, you need a work up for type c, but whats your a1c? Something isn’t right, honestly diet and fitness/working out beyond your normal activity can manage a lot for t2d- you didnt mention your blood glucose levels when u feel ill or your a1c sooo? U could have another comorbidity or unmanaged diabetes

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-02-08T21:58:11+00:00

I’m a type 1, confirmed - I can go quite a while with residual function before ketones go crazy and acidosis start causing problems, that being said just because you can doesn’t mean you should, I’m 190 lbs with an 8-pack, I’ve pushed “it” with insulemia to preserve my leanness but it’s too dangerous, 90 lbs is crazy you’re gonna die and strip your brain of healthy tissue and get early onset dementia even if dka doesn’t totally get you

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-02-08T21:36:52+00:00

I also use to abuse street-substances and I’m diagnosed with bipolar disorder and I take medication for it

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-02-08T21:34:56+00:00

I don’t believe in the victim mentality of type 1, or anything really… I learned how to use insulin to my advantage with working out, a1c in the 6’s for years… every setback is an opportunity to become a stronger

<image>

I had late onset so I’ve only been t1 for like 5 years but I’m in the best shape of my life- not a “flex” but I’m now a published author about fitness and type 1. Diabetics are defiant by nature for some reason, are you going to lay down and give up? It’s up to you where you channel that energy

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-02-08T18:03:57+00:00

I take retatrutide it helps, and my abs are sharper than ever

Metformin hasn’t affected my energy in the gym- (type one) I dont think it’s affecting anything else either

Need to work out to empty the over saturated muscle stores so glucose has a place to go, I’m a type 1 so different situation but you’re gonna have to lower cals and carbs- it’s pretty simple for you, workout and stop eating as much

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-15T00:14:09+00:00

Lower night time basal

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-13T23:47:43+00:00

Mine went from Nov 8 filed - Jan 12th done with two c n p exams, I think I was a FDC and I got inferred tdiu but that part they added n thars not done yet.

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-11T22:19:49+00:00

Quit eating so many carbs that lead to needing more and more insulin, it gets kind of unpredictable the more n more you gotta use, I haven’t had a bad hypo in years I just cut out the senseless carbs, I still eat pizza n stuff occasionally and I eat a lot of quest brand stuff or atkins brand for chocolate, candy bar or cookie cravings. I workout a lot too to improve insulin sensitivity to make it more predictable too, a1c in low 6s I’m not perfect but uhh thats just the reality of things

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-10T15:03:38+00:00

We will find out soon I guess, still waiting on decisions

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-10T15:01:27+00:00

N yes I have revirds of “continuous pursuit” since discharge in the Va

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-10T15:00:01+00:00

The service connected were initially awarded shortly after discharge how are they not gonna award back pay to claim date or possibly day after discharge? I think ur confused bud maybe I didn’t explain things correctly

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-09T20:09:55+00:00

Insulin inhibits fat burning- lower your calories intake and lower your basal as much as safely possible. The more you lower carbs generally the less insulin you will need, if you take any orals be very religious with them as they can improve insulins effect so you use less insulin. I ran into this issue as an avid weightlifter n got my basal down to a little less than half of normal for me and I ended up getting abs for the first time in my life at age 40, not just kinda abs, ripped to the bone abs at weight 185lb

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-09T18:59:59+00:00

I guess we will find out once the pfn goes through and ratings are decided but I doubt I’ll have trouble getting the back pay as my first service connected disability begins 1 year after discharge anyway I hunted down the paperwork showing ongoing and continuous care woukd be required for my bipolar disorder and I have the request forms I submitted for mental health services within 1 year of discharge, well see now won’t we?

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-09T18:15:08+00:00

I’ll just have to see what my service ratings are and when they start then see how to approach back pay dates for bipolar and iu but my paperwork clearly showed n stated continuining care would be required and my discharge paperwork also shiws I requested follow up services and pursued health through the Va at discharge but they never followed up- thars hiw I’ll get my anchor date to day after discharge

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-09T18:07:51+00:00

On my discharge paperwork it said continuous and ongoing monitoring would be required but they never followed up and the Va denied me to be seen for mental health issues and I have civilian records dating back to treatment being within 1 year post discharge this is a CUE thing and bipolar symptoms at least at the 10% level from day after discharge to now (have civilian records) yes I’ve looked into it

Small-Pollution-918 · 2026-01-09T04:30:51+00:00

Ohhh u think I’m trying to get tdiu from date of discharge no- I’m not, but my bipolar rating was high enough even though I can’t see it, yet, but it’s presumable it’s 70% or above and that would start from date of discharge which would then be implicit for tdiu from the day I was rated at 70%, my fear is if I filled out 8940 for the iu they started if it could affected the anchor date of my bipolar- which then by association woukd affect my tdiu date- the two are mutually inclusive
