Thank you so much, I truly hope I can lead by example!

Welcome homie, the people here are really cool so it’ll be a good outlet for ya

You will get your diabetes under control, I know you can do it gurl! I know it's so freakin hard when everythings upside down and you don't know where to even start but once you get the ball rolling it gets much much better I can say that much.

I'm so grateful you find this inspiring :) thank you so much!

Thank you very much! I hope I can inspire people really and truly :)

Firstly, you are so welcome!! I’m sorry you’re having an overall difficult time with things and I know what that’s like. I currently deal with a toxic living environment and a childhood abuser which makes diabetes that much more difficult to manage. Fortunately we have one another for support

I will try the longer pre bolus :) Yes that is what I mean and also eggs and tofu wouldn't be possible for me because I eat only whole foods and no meat/dairy.

So increasing the pre bolus time from 20 minutes to maybe 30 and so on? Lowering the carbs doesn't work because I still get the spike and I'm left terribly hungry lol. Yeah I know what you mean about your body being woken up! I would have to do a lot of testing with fruits but my body digests...

Hey everyone, hope y'all are having a wonderful day :) So, I have a bit of an issue that has become problematic and it's the biggest hurdle I have in my day to day diabetes management that I haven't figured out how to overcome but figured you guys might have some interesting ideas or insights...
