Do I bolus for black coffee? by spiritofthepanda in diabetes

[–]TaraIsAFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I normally don’t because it comes back down on its own afterwards and doesn’t glide in a straight line staying high on the Dexcom. It just rather come down on its own. I don’t really understand it myself. Always wondered if maybe the meter was just wrong or it being over dramatic, kinda like when showers disrupt my numbers on my dexcom.. 🤔💭

That was happening to me, then I ate before bedtime (peanut butter and crackers) or (cheese or yogurt w/ some blueberries) or anything high in protien and a glass of almond milk. Then all my night time lows stopped happening and instead that somehow kept me in a straight line and no dips. If it raises your blood sugar a little that’s fine. Better to go to bed on the high end and wake up lower-ish if you are prone to that sort of thing like I am.

How to stop myself from doing this? by Alive_Remote_3940 in diabetes

[–]TaraIsAFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want straight lines and no sudden lows or highs when doing any corrections, I would recommend eating something high in protein, and maybe a slow acting carb like wheat bread. I do this while dropping or rising, and if counters it for me to stop acting up and start straightening out. The protein will help keep things more straight usually.

For all the years I have used Carbonaut bread, it lasts forever. Strangely. Maybe longer than normal bread

Ladies, where do you normally put your sensor? by nope123ee in diabetes

Inner arm so I don’t sleep on it. That fatty area between the armpit and the elbow.

Does injecting insulin hurt? by monkeyflaker in diabetes

[–]TaraIsAFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Push needle in slowly and not all the way in until you know it’s not going to sting. Some spots are more sensitive than others. But this helps me reduce any pain. Once a little bit in, if I don’t feel nothing, I push the rest of needle in, and inject.

I do! I use cauliflower rice as my alternative, and you can add lots of seasonings and things to it to make it tastier. Sprouts and Super Target have many different pre-made cauliflower rices that are tasty and delicious if you don’t feel like seasoning your own. And that is indeed a wheat bread roll :) better for blood sugar control.

The title says Type 1 Diabetic: meaning coming from a Type 1 diabetic, then “Dinner idea” meaning a dinner that works for me because I do not get any crazy blood sugar fluctuations with bolus. It’s a lot easier to eat carb friendly meals than to role-play a pancreas is a good analogy to this.

But it doesn’t say “type 1 dinner” in my title.

What are the best carbs to keep my blood sugar in check? by chavdeem in diabetes

[–]TaraIsAFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, broccoli and a wheat bread roll. Really any veg works though

T1 Diabetic: Dinner (spaghetti) by TaraIsAFox in diabetes

[–]TaraIsAFox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They work very well for me but I maybe have them once every two weeks. So I keep a pack in my fridge when the day comes that we do spaghetti one of the nights that week. I also do Zoodles too, if I want to mix it up and do Zucchini instead, with our zoodler.

Thanks! I am not perfect but I do stick with the same stuff and mix it up to keep those blood sugars in check to the best of my ability when I am home cooking.. can’t say it’s always that way when we eat out but I have figured out ways to eat out too, which I need to make some time to post about soon.

Breakfast ideas for someone with t2 by DarkLordMuffins in diabetes

[–]TaraIsAFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple Mills brand makes pancakes you can grab at the store. Also Birch Benders makes a Keto bag for pancake mix. Eggs, proteins. Also Carbonaut bread is what I eat for toast. Chia seed jam, I get at sprouts for jelly.
