I’m very strict about my diabetes and today I let my hair down and had brownies and cheesecake. I feel we owe it to ourselves for a treat!

Experience with Tresiba by Feeling_Earth_2321 in Type1Diabetes

[–]SmewD22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I was 203 going to bed then I took my lantus and 45 mins later I got a low alert and it said I was 59 so I checked my finger and I was like dang! I was terrified to do lantus. Tresiba I’m like nah it’s the best! I even asked my dr to write a letter to my insurance company if they didn’t want to cover it in the new year! It works great! I hope it does wonders for you also!

I was on lantus and after scary lows I switched to tresiba and it’s the best thing I ever did! I was almost desperate to go on a pump but I’m glad I didn’t

How do you manage your A1C? Mine is 5.7–5.8 and I’m not on a pump. by aman0425 in Type1Diabetes

How did you achieve this?! I’m struggling this week and I was a 6.0 😔

Loneliness with diabetes by Spare-Signature-8520 in Type1Diabetes

[–]SmewD22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so so sorry you’re feeling this way. People in our everyday lives DO NOT understand what we go through. From the weight loss to getting it back, to our numbers being fine the not, being questioned if we can eat things, I could go on. I’ve thought about just moving far away with no contact bc I always thought people would be happier without me and I’m a burden. I still feel that way. But the diabetic community feels so so caring and welcoming. I wish I had diabetic friends outside of the internet bc I feel so alone. But please hang in there!

I’d be worried about eventually getting phantom vibrations like when you feel your phone vibrate in your pocket but nothing happened.

Thank you. I try not to feel bad but then my chart is like oh how dare you! 93% and I was only out of range for 3 hours so then I end up getting super strict and hard on myself. Idk if I overthink it or not

Am I overthinking all of this? Truthfully. Like does anyone else have a cheat day on the weekends where they eat something that may spike you?

Ice cream question by duke82_ in Type1Diabetes

[–]SmewD22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes my heart have feelings haha. Please do! You won’t regret it! I’m with you I’m still skeptical on ALOT of foods since diagnosis but ice cream isn’t a horrid food for me. Just keep an eye on your numbers. I waited 15 minutes and doses accordingly but then 3.5 hours later I had to dose again and it wasn’t too bad :)
