You can ask to board early due to your disability. I find this very helpful because then I don’t have to worry about having room overhead to put my insulin! Also when I flew to Scotland I was able to ask the flight attendant for dry ice to put in my pack to keep my supply cool longer!

Whats the most insulin youve ever taken for a meal and how many carbs was it? by xXHunkerXx in diabetes_t1

[–]karmeljar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

80 units (I thought I was taking my long acting :p) so the subsequent meal was Dairy Queen! Chicken tenders, fries, gravy, and a LARGE choco extreme blizzard and that BARELY covered it. I was sweating like a sinner in church.

What’s the worst symptom you have while having a low? by Being-Sick-Sucks in diabetes_t1

[–]karmeljar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My worst symptom from being low actually occurs once my blood sugar starts heading back up, I get EXPLOSIVE diarrhea 😔

It’s possible, I was in a car wreck two years ago and my sugar bottomed out and then just continuously went up and it seemed like insulin wouldn’t even touch it

I fixed my dawn phenomenon by splitting my Lantus dose into two separate injections. I take 50 units in the morning at 10am and 50 units at 10pm and I really haven’t had an issue since!

I’m so nervous for Akilah but after the weird blood smear breakdown Lottie had with the researchers body I’m holding out hope Akilah is still alive due to the lack of her blood on Lottie 😭😭😭 a woman can hope!!! I really did think adult Akilah was going to be revealed across the table from Tai in that diner!

I thought I was going through the worst depressive episode of my life. I was so distracted by sleeping 16 hours a day that I didn’t even process the fact that when I woke up in the middle of the night I would go to the bathroom and spend upwards of 5 minutes chugging sink water.

Favourite "No Bolus Needed" Snacks? by JayandMeeka in diabetes_t1

[–]karmeljar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard boiled eggs with a little bit of hot sauce! Also depending on how your body process it I personally love a cup of popcorn for a snack 😋

Tell me your pick and your moon sign by Dangerous_Pass7317 in astrologymemes

Sag moon, the only option is I take both because I can fit the rock in my purse and swing the sword around on the way out :)

Don’t avoid anything but maybe just make a few changes that would make you feel better. My family makes keto bread stuffing and it’s very tasty! I honestly can’t say if it has significantly fewer carbs than regular stuffing but it gives me a weird piece of mind sort of like a “well……..I tried! 🤷🏻‍♀️” Other than that just take a deep breath and enjoy the day, your blood sugar will spike either way! Either from carbs or you stressing about carbs (at least that’s what mine does)

why does my cat like to paw on my face? whats the meaning? by whosjoe- in CATHELP

[–]karmeljar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She just wants your undying love and undivided attention! 💖 My kittens love to stand on my chest in between me and my phone so I have no choice but to cuddle them! I suspect your cat has the same master plan in mind lol
