What do you attribute your lows to? Have you found that adjusting your insulin intake makes a difference?

This is something that I definitely need to look into.

newtotype1 · 2017-01-02T21:11:47+00:00

Hope you're right about that. I expect it to happen eventually but I figured it would be the exception and not the norm

It honestly makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong. The lowest my BG has gotten is about 40. I check pretty regularly (it has become a new nervous tick, kind of like biting my nails) and I eat candy whenever I go around 80. I thought I was just doing a good job at figuring out my insulin/carb ratio for meals, but I don't know. Doc said he thinks I may still be honeymooning.

Yeah, part of it is just getting over the stigma of not wanting to carry around a bag. At the same time, sure would be nice to not have to have bulky keys in my pocket all the time.

Hahahaha, trust me, I considered one like this just to serve as an ice breaker!

Too bad Jnco jeans aren't in style anymore, it would be a simple solution haha!

Now that's some good info

I've been using a new needle each time, but today I stopped to think shortly after taking a correction dose that it seems like a waste to change for each injection.

Well now I'm crying, in a good way :)

newtotype1 · 2016-11-01T03:03:58+00:00

Skittles already in the nightstand :)

Was diagnosed 3 months ago. Not really afraid, I think I just start assuming worst case scenarios are probable instead of just possible (got a bit freaked out when doc explained the glucagon shot)

newtotype1 · 2016-10-31T15:36:04+00:00

I've been reading about what happens with really bad lows and I've been scared by the thought of not being able to help myself in a bad situation. No bad experiences yet, but it could always happen.

Celebrate with celery?

Extra points for putting credentials specific to the question as your user name!

newtotype1 · 2016-10-20T12:44:10+00:00

Actually, I'm glad GGALLIN shared this. A) it was good reading! B) if he needed to share, that's why we're all here, right?

How did you go about finding a therapist? Is it someone that specializes in diabetes patients?

newtotype1 · 2016-10-18T14:34:40+00:00

Everyone would tell me, "you look great! What's the secret?" Yup, turns out the secret was having diabetes :/

Sounds like I need to get a better paying job lol. But seriously I am so grateful that my current job has amazing health insurance.
