It's a shock to the system for sure. I promise you, you'll get use to it. You'll start eating better and watching your health, both good things!

Attempting to get Test strips by TomasHezanin diabetes

They are a pain in the ass to find. If you are forced to pay for them, I found they are a little cheaper from Amazon.com Thats where I was buying my one touch strips.

I fear our pitching is going to be atrocious this season. Suzuki has his work cut out for him.

Have springtomize 2 and didnt know you had to enter the "jittery mode" before you double tapped. Thought you just had to double tap on it before it launched. Im an idiot....thanks for the heads up!

Reddit, do you have any personal conspiracy theories that you believe in? by catfishangerin AskReddit

Anti-Virus companies (Norton, Mcafee) are the ones creating the viruses in the first damn place.

Has anyone tried Nutrisystem D or some other food plan? by BlankVersein diabetes

[–]InsaneAmountOfSanity 2 points3 points ago

Honestly, this is a great subreddit with a ton of info. I was placed on insulin this week as I was originally diagnosed with T2. For the last 2 years I've been treating my diabetes as a T2. For me, the hardest of it all came in waves. I wouldnt mind eating what I was supposed to. Then there would be a week where I couldnt stand it anymore and I wanted to eat whatever I want to, and not think about the carbs. Then I would snap back into the right mindset. Its worth doing it right. Also, test yourself all the time until you know how your body feels. Going hypoglycemic sucks! Its gonna happen, but do what you can to avoid it. Send me a message if you have any questions at anytime and I'll try to give you some of the knowledge that I've learned in the last few years. Take care of yourself!

May I ask why?

Has anyone tried Nutrisystem D or some other food plan? by BlankVersein diabetes

[–]InsaneAmountOfSanity 4 points5 points ago

Some people swear off all flavored drinks. Diet soda has no carbs/sugars. I drink it when I need something tasty. Also Mio drink mixers are sugar and carb free and taste really sweet. Nice change up from normal water.

Dark chocolate (62%) and above all have relatively low carbs/piece ratio. One square is around 3-4 carbs and since its so dark, one square usually kills my cravings for chocolate.

The individual packages of lunch meat are cheap and easy to move/store. Again, almost no carbs/sugars per serving. But some and throw em in the fridge, take em with you.

Mostly, dont beat yourself up if you need to have a "cheat meal"

You're gonna get tired of eating salads. Its gonna happen. Same with all the other no carb foods. If you allow yourself a little of the "bad food" every once and a while, it'll be easier to manage over the long haul. Just dont make it an everyday thing.

Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions! I lowered my A1C from 16% down to 5.5% in about a year. Based off diet and oral meds. It gets tough at times, but better than the alternative!

Misdiagnosed - looking for some info. by InsaneAmountOfSanityin diabetes

[–]InsaneAmountOfSanity[S] 0 points1 point ago

Since I had to plan my carbs around taking oral meds, Im used to planning meals out. I think I'll have a good idea on how my body is going to feel, I've been hypo many times before, but Im not sure if its gonna be different with insulin. I guess only time shall tell. Thanks!

[–]InsaneAmountOfSanity[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the info!

My lowest recorded is 29 mg/dL and it was awful. I've been told that the lows with insulin are worse than the lows on oral meds. I guess we'll find out. Not looking forward to it though.

How's the pump?

Im sure all Endo's are different. Meeting with mine was by far the best thing I have ever done since diagnosed. Only people that have actually taken the time to seriously help me with my control. You guys should look into maybe finding a new one!

Thanks for the heads up on the Frio! I just bought one.
