So I'm tryna keep my daily carb intake low because I'm diabetic and shit.

Anyway, lookit what I had for dinner tonight!

@Johannab

That happened to my dad! *Extends hand* Nice to meetcha, I'm Sparrow. :3

Kay, I met my fitness goals for the week. Now to convince my body it's bedtime, even though I just went for an extremely refreshing jog in 44 degree weather.

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.

Lmao I subscribe to both Yoga With Adriene and Chris Fleming, and I almost clicked on Chris because I wasn't wearing my glasses and the Gayle getup is very Yoga Mom

@sam

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? ?

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.

Add me if you have ! I really like and appreciate having a web of diabetic friends online I can talk to and commiserate with.

@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?

Wish some of y'all lived closer by~

I'd love to host game days, serve y'all some healthy snackage, or chill out to music/cartoons and knit together. :3

Blood Glucose/exercise 

Welp, my blood levels are super high, so I just treated with insulin.

Soooo I'm gonna do some gentle yoga and test myself in 2 hours, and *then* do a night jog. I know it's setting myself up for a late night, but I really wanna meet my fitness goals for the week, dammit.

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.
