Guess what spikes my BG to pre-diagnosis levels, even with insulin?
In the past two hours:
8 pm: 559 (highest BG since I was diagnosed, holy shit)
9 pm: 460 (still incredibly bad)
10 pm: 296 (STILL incredibly bad but okay, I can jog now)
Jsfc. Sorry Okinawa Boba Tea, but I think I''ll have to avoid you next time.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, my plan is to do pretty much the same, use keto recipes to give me more low-carb options.
I found a website for low-carb vegan eating, so I figured I could combine recipes from that site, vegetarian keto recipes, and other high-plant, low-carb recipes for a more balanced (less eggy) diet.
My goal is to eat less than 156 carbs/day, so I can take the same amounts of fast-acting insulin as my long-acting prescription.
Healthcare - (general/not personal)
Wow I went on reddit to read about how other Type 1 Diabetics handle losing healthcare, and
Oh god.
The state of healthcare in the U.S. is really, REALLY scary.
- 18 y/o "aged out" of health care in Texas
- One kid got fired from his job for "going to the doctor too much". He used vacation time to do pump training.
- That one report of a 26 year/old dying alone in his apartment because he ran out of insulin.
Just...
Cw: food, diet, insulin
I think my goal is not to do a full-on keto diet, but to drastically reduce my carbs. Ideally I want to take the same amount of fast-acting (humalog) insulin/day as I do long-acting (lantus).
Right now I take 13 L/day. 13 H (at 1 H/ 12 grams carbs) comes out to 156 grams of carbs/day. Which is WAY less than I eat now, but enough that I can still reasonably cook vegetarian meals around.
Anyone else on here with Type 1 Diabetes? #t1d #type1diabetes #type_1_diabetes?
I want to expand my network & am enjoying talking on here with other folks who have to deal with this autoimmune disorder.
Plus it's nice to have contacts in case of emergency or needing advice, especially with healthcare in the terrifying state it's currently in.

@sam Tell me how it goes for you! I'm vegetarian and frankly addicted to sugar (I know) so I'm scared to try a keto diet. Do you think it can work out for someone who doesn't eat fish/meat?
Guess what spikes my BG to pre-diagnosis levels, even with insulin?
@rey It's really tragic. :(
tbf, I tried an okinawa tea with crema, when I normally just get black tea at 30% sweetness, so it's partially my fault.
