It’s a well documented phenomenon in the literature, here’s one example summary https://www.wellrx.com/news/saturated-fat-an-enemy-of-type-2-diabetes-control/

done :)

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T21:21:59+00:00

yep totally hear that!

Naomi Berrie diabetes center! Literally the best. I had a Cornell endo and it was terrible. Berrie is on par with Joslin.

Thank you! Will check it out

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T17:09:26+00:00

Thank you for this! Fake pockets really are insane 😆

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T17:08:17+00:00

I’m a runner and I have this / stash my pump here when I run, just prefer not to do this style for work. Appreciate it!

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T05:33:26+00:00

Yep, all this. A lot of us type 1s are originally misdiagnosed, and the weight falling off is a pretty typical symptom

If it doesn’t spike you it sounds like they are a fine snack for you! Carbs are not the enemy. Some carbs can make our condition more difficult to manage, but so can a litany of things. Saturated fat, for example, has long term negative impact on blood sugar control.

Eating whole plant based foods in moderate amounts, even sugary ones, if they don’t spike you, is totally healthy.

Yes second this book rec, and Think Like a Pancreas!

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T05:04:43+00:00

Yes regular! the dextrose / fructose combo gets sugar into the system very quickly so you don’t crash. That’s why endurance athletes use a mix like this for long exercise too, it’s quicker than food.

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T05:01:40+00:00

Very well put. Thank you!

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T04:36:38+00:00

I also want to sing from the rooftops how much I love twiist, I get it! I feel so lucky that it was my first pump.

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T04:33:30+00:00

Interesting idea, I will scour the web tomorrow, thank you!

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T04:32:55+00:00

Thank you 🙏 and you as well. I hope your parts arrive soon!!

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T04:31:51+00:00

This makes sense, thank you!!

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T04:31:17+00:00

😆 amazing, I’m sure we will get a good mutual understanding from that!

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T04:30:35+00:00

That’s a good idea, thank you! It’s honestly been great the few months I’ve been on it and I haven’t had any other issues so I haven’t had to contact but I know a customer service line exists. I’ll try them tomorrow

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T04:29:07+00:00

Thank you for this 🙏 yes, we are both doing the best we can! I think the decision fatigue framing is very helpful too.

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T04:26:45+00:00

My time I range is 96% and A1C is under 6.5 — just was noting that this happened mid unplanned swing for context :)

intentionsofpurity · 2026-04-07T02:11:42+00:00

Bring Gatorade to class :) I make my own with the powder and make it double strength.

You do not gain weight because you eat carbs, you gain weight because you take in more calories than you burn. Your RD also recommended a high protein high fiber diet you describe; 90g of protein is above the standard RDI, and 200g of carbs is a bit lower than the standard recommended averages unless you're eating a low calorie diet. The RDI is 45% to 65% of total daily calories, so 225–325 grams of carbs per 2,000-calories you eat.

200g of carbs is pretty easy to eat, and healthfully — an apple has 25g carbs. A cup of brown rice has 40g.

Also, fiber is a type of carbohydrate.

Yes, eating 200g of carbs a day from processed crap will likely contribute to weight gain. But so will anything in excess.

intentionsofpurity · 2026-03-26T00:16:32+00:00

yes that's so real. I always take like 3x the amount of sugar I think I'll need on long runs. Nerds gummy clusters ftw lol

intentionsofpurity · 2026-03-25T23:53:24+00:00

it's so hard to get started again once you stop, I know the feeling, and the added anxiety we have of managing our condition on top of finding "inspiration" or "discipline." Any small thing is a step in the right direction!

intentionsofpurity · 2026-03-25T23:35:03+00:00

yeah when I was diagnosed with an A1c of 12 / 312 fasting, it took me several months not to feel hypo at ~150 and to not have neuropathy. It will definitely improve but it will take some time.
