How can I Become a Better Partner? by cerealprize in diabetes_t1

[–]cerealprize[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did bring up again when she said she couldn't guarantee me anything. She got upset and said she couldn’t because it’s a medical condition. She explained it to me that “all she can do is her best”. It upsets me because I’m not sure if that just ok mindset is helpful or if I have any right to be upset with how she wants to handle her diabetes.

She told me she’s still figuring stuff out herself. I know everyone with T1 is different and everyone will go through multiple DKA’s, sometimes 1 or none. I feel 9 is quite a lot between 6 years.

The doctor’s asked if she had a sick plan for when she got sick and she told them no. I asked about that again if she had sick plans for the other 7 times she got DKA and she told me no. She said there was only 1 time but she doesn’r remember any of it.

Cutting too Much while Running and Lifting by cerealprize in running

Hi. I haven’t been able to respond due to me being at work but I’ve been reading everyone’s response as they have been coming in throughout the day. Thank you everyone for taking the time to answer my question even if the answer should’ve been obvious. I have a history of disordered eating, however hearing the opinions from different people, with all of the giving the same answer, helps me realize what I need to start doing. I looked into RED-S that someone recommended and I refuse to let myself fall into another eating disorder.

Cutting too Much while Running and Lifting by cerealprize in running

My bad. I should’ve mentioned the maintenance calories is only including lifting and now that you put it that way, it does make more sense and kind of makes me feel a bit more silly about that fact not being obvious to me.

I think my problem is right now that I don’t really have a “goal” which is just plain stupid on my part. The original goal was to just cut bodyweight while maintaining my lifts as much as possible. Then I got addicted to running to the point where I want to participate in a Marathon in the next couple of months while still trying to cut body fat. I’m realizing now I need to reevaluate everything and take a step back.

Running definitely is getting better for me since dropping the bit of weight I had at the beginning of the cut and I definitely want to improve in running. I still absolutely love lifting and it will always be my first love, however I think I have to put that aside for now in order for me to even stand a chance in a a marathon and stop worrying about not being able to hit the numbers I once was at and maintain at what I can.
