any insulin dependent diabetics on the board? If so, what is your diet like? how do you keep your blood sugar in check?

My mom has had it. She cut out excessively fatty meat cuts and stopped eating cheese and the obvious things like candy and soda. If you're a real fatty you can eat Russell stoversugar free stuff. Also drink only water none of that "oh ill just drink tea instead of soda its healthier! " no because you'll add a shit load of sugar or honey to sweeten it. And if you wake up with high levels DO NOT EAT A MEAL eat something like a handful of grapes or 1/4 of an orange. Wait and it should go down. I've seen plenty of her friends die and go into shock because they keep going with their shitty lifestyle. Remember you ARE diabetic, don't keep going with bad habits and read labels if it uses glucose in that fancy dark chocolate truffle from fuckmeartisianchocolatehouse then you're gonna shoot up to 500's just be conscious and you'll be fine

Are you talking to a retard? Tea doesn't need sugar and I'm pretty sure a diabetic person is aware that adding sugar to tea will make them consume sugar.

You'd be surprised the shit I've heard from diabetics. Im also talking about only type 2 diabetics I don't know about type 1, most of the people I've encountered are middle aged people they feign helplessness and keep their bad habits of 20 packets of splenda in their tea and wonder why they wake up with blood sugar reading 300

I used to have a friend in middle school with type 1 diabetes, his birthday was also on September 11th, he had a charmed life.

>> No.4275133

I had a boyfriend for 7 years who required insulin shots, who did not cook for himself. Not ever.
So, my general shopping method was built around always having a carbohydrate with the meal, whether it was bread, pasta, potato, etc. There was always easily accessible fruit or fruit cups, juice, fruit/granola snacks in case he went low. The real challenge was including these things just enough to not get fat, because you could easily over do it.

Type 1 diabetic here. Had it since I was 7. I'm 21 now

I think I have the same diet as everybody, except that I can't into cakes.

I eat whatever I want and I take 1 unit of insulin per 10g carbohydrates.

i am a type one diabetic (insulin dependent) and my diet consists of whatever the fuck i want and my levels stay between 95 and 150

>> No.4275680

Type 1 here, my diet consists of carbs with every meals (Usually grain bread or brown rice) and I eat chili for dinner all the time and salad sandwiches for lunch, lucky I didn't get it to 24 and I was never a fan of sweets (the only thing I miss are squishys :( )

I'm also an alcoholic that rarely checks his levels, but my endocronologist says my levels are where they are suppose to be in my 6 monthly check up, he just wants me to quit smoking

I'll be dead before I'm 50!

Type 1 diabetes was once known as juvenile diabetes because it's usually diagnosed in children and young adults. About 5% to 10% of all people with diabetes have this type, which is not reversible because the person's pancreas is not producing insulin at all.


You can jog all you want, you aren't going to get rid of type I diabetes.

I work at a pharmacy, and I could go on for hours about this.

I'll try not to do that. Rather, here's an anecdote: The other day a man bought his diabetes medicine (insulin, needles, test strips, metformin, etc) as well as an entire case of candy bars. You know how the big candy bars in stores are sold individually, but they're all stored in the aisle in a large cardboard box? He took the ENTIRE CARDBOARD BOX. I had to try so hard not to call him out on this. Fat bastard.

Last night I woke up in a sweat. My BCG was 40. I ate two bananas and a cheese sandwich to get it up to 115. Insulin is dangerous. I'm on Lantus. Very difficult to regulate. I want to use a PRN insulin. I also want to kill my fucking doctor for not letting me. Exercise and diet fluctuate Lantus' affects. VERY DANGEROUS!

I'm damn near ready to choke that fucking VA doctor.

>> No.4278161

Also use Novorapid

I used to live with a diabetic type 1 guy. He'd try to keep his sugar levels real low so as not to damage his body but he'd keep zoning out and turning into a crazed retard. Also, would wait until real low and then eat a tub of icecream. He didn't have an inch of fat on him and was strong as an ox but it was scary being around him sometimes.

Type 1 here,

Continuous hypoglycemia can actually lead to permanent brain damage. Behind O2, glucose is the second most needed substance for the brain to operate normally. That's why a person with low blood sugar will appear drunk or not act right. It's also the reason your friend is batshit insane.

He dumped me and moved back in with his parents. Besides wasting years of my life, no fucks were given because it was like taking care of a child.
