How Can I Convince Myself To Listen To People When My BS Is Low, They Are Trying To Help, But My Mind Isn’t Quite Functioning Properly?
The only thing that seems to work is if they know beforehand to just hand me some carbs, juice, or something and smile without saying anything. I’m asking about people I haven’t pre-coached on this way.
This is normal and expected behavior. Irritability and ability to focus keeps getting worse as sugar drops. One time during a bad hypo event, however, a layperson was telling other gawkers that I… read more

DO YOU HAVE YOUR TEAM? 1. PRIMARY DR 2. ENDO 3.EDUCATOR 4.NUTRITION EVERY DIABETIC SHOULD HAVE A TEAM THAT WORKS TOGETHER WITH YOU
A “sad situation” - wow I’ve never personally felt that. I see my Endo annually and that’s enough for so many. In almost 40 years of T1D I’ve never spoken with or met a dietitian or an “educator” who… read more
Had Italian Last Night
Shared appetizers - fried calamari, spinach/artichoke dip, mozzarella & insalata caprese
Entree Zuppa Di Pesce with
Shrimp, clams, scungilli, mussels & scallops in a fresh tomato sauce with a small amount of angel hair pasta which I did not eat the pasta
This morning my blood sugar is all over the place and high
So what should I have not eaten?
Thanks!!
Tomatoes will raise blood sugar. Protein digests more slowly than sugar and carbs, but it still breaks down into those components. to eat more, more insulin is needed.
Do You Have Any Friends Who Are Also Diabetic? How Often Do You Talk About All Things Diabetes With Somebody Who Also Lives With It?
I'd love to plan a meet-up for a group of us. If you live in LA and this sounds interesting, let me know. I'd love to facilitate a few roundtables at the meet-up too! Any takers?
I Need Help Losing Weight So I Don’t Have The Lows And Eat Wrong
My good dr retired and I miss her a lot. She explained it so well and helped when I couldn’t get my pump supplies and insulin it was a very scarey deal to go through
Do you have an insulin pump? I'm working on losing weight by cutting out carbs. Eating a protein helps. I would talk to doctor about cutting back on insulin.

My Sugars Keep Go Very Low After Dinner, Then A Couple Hours Later It Will Go In The High 200’s. Not Sure Why.
I’m the primary medical caregiver for my husband who has congestive-end stage heart failure and the doctors say there is nothing more they can do for him. I have a son going through aggressive cancer, hoping he will beat it. Not sure if all the stress is causing my issues. My eating habits are bad, forget to eat or take my bolus after I eat. Get little sleep.
My the blessings be for you and your loved ones, dear Tina.
I Am Having Many Lows During Walking Sessions. I Changed My Mode To Exercise On My Tandem Pump, But I Still Get Lows. Do I Change The Basal.
Or do I change the carb ratio?

Is Anyone Out There Using The DIY Loop Or IOS Loop? I Have Been Using It For 5 Years Now. Absolutely Changed My Life!!!!
Automated Insulin Delivery systems are the future of T1d management. Choosing the right system can be challenging. Choosing between commercial systems (Omnipod 5, Tandem CiQ, Medtronic 780G) or open-source systems (AAPS, iAPS, Loop), all have advantages and disadvantages the trick is finding the system that works for you and your life. I love helping people find the right solutions from all the available options. You hate counting carbs? There is an answer for you. Want super-tight control… read more
There isn’t a pump on the market that allows for “super tight” control. 70-120 and targeted 83, is what I want, and get with my Tandem using BIQ. Sadly it was discontinued last fall. Only way now a… read more
