So I'm tryna keep my daily carb intake low because I'm diabetic and shit.
Anyway, lookit what I had for dinner tonight!
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
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.
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?
Boba tea. *cries*
I'm about to attempt a Night Jog because I'm really determined to meet my fitness goal for this week. *is nervous but determined*
That Sleigh Bells/Tink music video just made me even gayer, if possible~~
Selfie, collar, eye contact
Omg I just realized my bracelet doubles as a collar.
I wanna exercise but I just ate a huge burrito so I'm gonna need to wait a while.
So instead I'm doing touch typing practice and listening to Sleigh Bells. <3
