    hello all! Hope you all are well and had a great holiday! Insurance had switched me from lantus to Tresiba. Reading about Tresiba it sounds to be more powerful and much longer lasting. It also says it takes 4-6 days for the full effect. Some people say thier sugars are not steady. I was...

    Duck fat

    Who eats duck fat? Sadly I recently found the butter before meals helping my bg isn’t going to work anymore. If I questioned dairy intolerance I no longer do. I was very achy and swollen and was getting worse everyday. I can’t live on just mayo and olive oil for fats lol Doing research into...

    Season changes.

    I know this has been discussed many times but to refine it a bit. Do your insulin needs go up or down in cold weather and do you know approx when? Mine have recently gone up and fastings are way up. Afraid to take more lantus as I’ve had hypos but not even close lately. It seems odd that it’s...

My mayo is non gmo expeller pressed canola. I am a sauce ( mayo ) junkie but can’t come up with anything else to put on chicken / turkey...

    Funny how things change...

    After sitting out on a forum Ive been deeply and passionately involved in, I am seeing things through a new set of bifocals. The nasties in my camp will probably always be nasties in my camp but there are so many more completely awesome people on the forum so those nasties will have to take a...

    Different cheeses and the dreaded C

    I adore my one ounce melted cheese tray with two or three differnt cheeses. A few small bites of each but I'm thinking it's constipating me. I think when we were just eating Brie it actually helped. Then we added either butterkase, Colby jack, Gouda or havarti. Now things have changed. Melted...

    Butter vs olive oil

    i know butter is a MCT. What I don't know is how it effects bg and satiety. Olive oil is of course pure fat but it does zip, nada, ziltch to slow any bg rise nor does it satisfy hunger. Does butter?? I can't just use olive oil as a fat or I'm starving it seems like water. Mayo is slightly better...

    Oh no. Avo might be sad!

    perfect time to test. Wasn't sure if it was carb, fiber or fat. Today stupid high bs day for NO reason then plummeted. So at 70 decided to just eat avo and see what happened. One hour later 88. Cheese snack with vodka which lowers me. Dinner 98! So obviously some carbs there and the fiber isn't...
