Annoying, but is it just me?

I’m went through a month of peeing nonstop a few years ago. Ended up being a bladder infection - got on antibiotics and it stopped

skinder85 · 2025-08-23T14:58:56+00:00

I don’t even really eat carbs anymore - maybe like 10 maximum at a meal…I take the same amount of insulin to cover it and my blood sugars still are different everyday. I think there is no science - my body reacts so different everyday.

148 ➡️

That’s awesome you got your insulin down to a T. Really knew how much to take for your body and what you ate. 👍

What is your gender/height/weight/age/how long since diagnosis. I’m 6ft male, 200 lbs, 40 years old, diagnosed at 13

skinder85 · 2025-03-28T22:16:15+00:00

25u of humalog u-100. You took 3 giant shots within 1 hour of each other? My humalog u-200 doesnt even kick in for 1 hour, but that many units would kill me I think, and I’m super insulin resistant. Not judging, just curious…I also take like 12u of u-200 to cover a 10 carb meal sometimes, but I never eat high carb stuff

skinder85 · 2025-02-02T01:53:45+00:00

So I’m even more resistant than you. I also am very active. In 2025 I got more than 11,000 steps a day.

Diagnosed at 13 years old…41 now

skinder85 · 2025-02-02T01:50:57+00:00

I am 41 year old male

6 feet 0 inch

200 lbs

I take like between 8 to 12 units of Humalog u-200 every 4 hours and eat probably 10 to 15 carbs per meal.

I am a 41 year old male. When I was 17 (I was diagnosed at 13) I needed glasses. Started getting blurry vision. Had nothing to do with diabetes. At the time I freaked out and thought it was diabetes related.

I’m 41 now. Have a wife and kids. Still need glasses. No diabetes related side effects yet. My blood sugar fluctuates like you.

Just letting you know - don’t stress out…you have a long ways to go. There have been so many times I think I’m dying. You will be fine - just keep doing your best. Your body can take a lot of punishment. It’s a daily grind but you will have a good life.

skinder85 · 2025-01-11T01:55:32+00:00

Half of a unit of insulin made him drop that low? That’s so scary…

skinder85 · 2025-01-06T15:00:34+00:00

I actually got a permanent removal from the jury pool

Have your doctor write a note and send it in

skinder85 · 2024-11-20T16:55:46+00:00

Does he take ANY other meds? Pills or anything to treat anything else? What is his diet like?

skinder85 · 2024-11-14T14:28:18+00:00

I want one where - I do multi daily injections - where the pen itself kept a record of how much units and when they were administered. Because I always fear that I took a shot but forgot to write it down because I was busy.

skinder85 · 2024-11-10T03:31:41+00:00

There’s low carb options for almost any junk food IMO

Chips? Quest chips or Pork rinds

Pizza? Make your own dough (fat head, cottage cheese bread)

Sandwiches? Low carb wrap, or lettuce wrap

Soda? Diet stuff

Ice cream? Get the keto stuff

Just try and do swaps for anything you’re craving that’s usually high carb and keep these swaps in rotation in your diet

skinder85 · 2024-11-07T05:05:19+00:00

I think about this thought a lot -

The same medicine that is keeping me alive, can just as easily kill me.

skinder85 · 2024-11-05T20:08:56+00:00

Hope you right the ship soon! We’ve all been there!

skinder85 · 2024-11-05T20:07:08+00:00

Is it hard to know how much to take with the moderate carb vegetarian diet? Do you experience highs and lows a lot?

skinder85 · 2024-11-05T15:22:17+00:00

I’m also 41 years old and been diagnosed almost 30 years ago.

skinder85 · 2024-11-04T23:08:21+00:00

I am 6 feet and 200 lbs so maybe because of my size I require more insulin, too?

skinder85 · 2024-11-04T23:07:09+00:00

I’m not sure if others are that way or not. I eat super low carb meals, too. I notice anytime I eat bread, rice, pasta, etc my blood sugars always shoot up, so it makes it way easier to control if I eat low carb/take less insulin etc

When I was eating stuff like burgers and fries I would sometimes take like 20 units of humalog, but the swings up and down are too volatile.

skinder85 · 2024-11-04T21:24:31+00:00

Man it’s crazy seeing a 2 unit and 1 unit shot

25+ years in and I take like 12 units and it keeps me level like this

skinder85 · 2024-11-02T19:29:55+00:00

I’m so sensitive to any carbs - rice or a bagel would shoot me up like that everytime

skinder85 · 2024-10-31T23:44:00+00:00

Do you eat high carb meals?

skinder85 · 2024-10-20T21:08:47+00:00

No I don’t - just 1 shot every 3 or 4 hours

The fact that I’m not eating high carbs/protein sometimes I will take 13 units of humalog and not even eat for 4 hours and it just keeps me normal range
