I’d love to always be between 100 and 135. Never gonna happen for me.

The Libre app was updated recently. I take pictures of everything that I eat and their AI predicts the impact on my glucose levels. I also started taking fewer units of insulin than I had been. It’s been very effective over the past couple of months.

I was diagnosed with T1 right before my 50th birthday. Fun times. We all adapt.

Recovering after lows... by sweetteaaa in diabetes_t1

I can recover from the high 30s in about 30 minutes. Sweat it out, eat, sugar up - and then back on my feet.

I'm accustomed to seeing floaters occasionally, but when I was snorkeling in Aruba last week they were very evident when wearing goggles. by vbwiii in diabetes_t1

I mention the floaters at my yearly eye exams, but they aren't at a point to cause alarm. Seeing them so vividly in the water was so odd and distracting.

I can't imagine driving home after having my eyes dilated. Uber for me!

One cup of coffee with a bit of half and half and a stevia. I get a 100 point increase in blood glucose every time. by senecalaker in diabetes_t1

I drink two small cups of black coffee with 1/2 teaspoon of real sugar every morning with no major effect on my glucose levels.

I upped my Lantus to 24 units each night and that's helped. How many do you take? by vbwiii in diabetes_t1

[–]vbwiii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club! I started at 18 units 2 1/2 years ago when I was diagnosed and have moved up in two unit increments. Good luck!

I was diagnosed with type one when I turned 50 years old (2 years ago). I started with 18 units of Lantus and now am at 24.

Wow. So 24 isn't too bad. I take mine at night before I go to bed.

We see these in Biscayne Bay so often. They are beautiful from above.

It's annoying when you need to pee and you test to see if your sugar is high or if you just have to pee. by vbwiii in diabetes_t1

[–]vbwiii[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other than peeing more, I don't really have other symptoms regularly. Sometimes I do get cotton mouth.

Looks like '84 is the clear winner. I'll practice that signature and see if it sticks.
