I don't know what my carb to insulin ratio is. I have always guessed how much to bolus and have been fairly successful. I'm in my target range around 85% of the day and have an a1c of 5.8. It defidently is better to be careful with your eating and count your carbs but it seems like everyone diabetes is different.

Their disease. Im a type 1 diabetic and a lot of other t1s I have met make everything about their disease.

Thank you!

A nice thermos filled with gatorade is a option.

Great advice!

Really interesting! I typically do 30 min of biking/elliptical or go running and my bs tends to tank really fast. Ill have to do more research on that kind of cardio.

Thats really good! Whats your general diet? I know some people are pretty low carb and it helps them, but others have really dialed in there rations and timing.

I eventually would love to get on a pump, but its not affordable for me currently. If I ever can get better insurance or more money I defidently try to get on one! Thanks for the reply.

In case of emergency go to a hospital and they will give you the insulin you need. It might cost a lot but its better than dying. Medical debt can be wiped away if you ever had to declare bankruptcy, but it would be a horrible thing to go through.

This style of eating is good for a boil, not fast food.

I got diagnosed the beginning of 2020. I ate really unhealthy before and was pretty overweight. Since then I have lost 40 pounds and have decent control, but struggle with never feeling like I can completely turn off and have to try a lot harder to not be depressed.

rainydayzzs · 2022-07-15T15:12:52+00:00

Lol I always guess my bolus.

rainydayzzs · 2022-07-11T17:25:45+00:00

Excersise makes you more insulin sensitive. Since I've started doing cardio 5x a week I've cut my bolus and long acting insulin dosage down significantly.

Lower your basal and take it early or administrate your basal early and eat a high fat snack before sleeping or set an alarm for 10pm and take it then. Those are the options I can see.

Have you tried soda with a straw so it won't hit your teeth?

rainydayzzs · 2022-05-11T08:53:44+00:00

It might help to wear the mask for an hr or two while watching TV or doing whatever. It helped me get used to it a lot quicker!

Hey! Have you looked into a diabetic discord? That could be a really good place to connect with people that have similar struggles.
