I have been taking long acting insulin since my diagnosis of Lada Type 1 in Feb this year. I have been able to control my blood sugars with my eating habits..... and then one day like that my numbers we constantly going over 200 after I ate. Today I scared myself and I think I realized I need...

Update: I had my hysterectomy Monday, through the key hole. They left my ovaries. The pain was only bad for about 48 hours, my BG levels, unbelievably were 120-140 (6.6-7.7) even with no food and only 3 units per day of lantus. I think my levels this week post surgery have been the best they...

I’m excited and scared all at the same time. Can’t wait to be pain free, yet never had a surgery before. I don’t want to over do anything, going back to work and taking dog for walks is my goal in two weeks after .... I’m also hosting a international cruise in September but should totally be...

[emoji173]️ this makes me feel so happy, since your on a pump I’m assuming your type 1, are you a LADA? How long have you had diabetes? Did you have exhaustion during your cycle prior to opp?

Did you get the CGM? They are now available to me through the local pharmacy... it’s so nice

I am getting this surgery done next Monday. Mine is due to my tissue being attached to my uterus and ENDO, my BS is so up and down currently before and during my periods, I’m actually in my cycle now and tried to vacuum the house I had to sit down I was so exhausted BS was normal but I feel...

I am also type 1 LADA, and I also was placed on insulin Lantus long acting, I take 3-6 units depends what time of the month I have to adjust when my fasting numbers go up or down. I personally felt so much better once on insulin. I have short acting on reserve in case I need it. I’m still in the...

this is after having 5 trisket crackers and a babybel right before bed....

Thank you I did know PB has carbs I did not know that about the babybel. I feel it works good for me now because I’m still in the honeymoon phase and it keeps me in range for a long period.

I always have cooked chicken and babybel cheese at quick reach, I also go through a lot of peanut butter and I love almond butter. I but chicken breasts skinned and put my own spices on and bake at 350 for 25-45 minutes depending on thickness I cook on a broil pan but cookie sheet or glass pan...

I have the Dexicom G6 and it is amazing I set it at 95 (5.2) for going low and 200 (11.11)for going high this helps me to avoid dropping lower. Hypos are very scary to me as well and my heart hearts if I’m high and it also hurts when I’m low, my brain is mush as well and I tend to over eat...

I was having the same issue and I switched from taking my shot of long lasting from night to day as the peak of my long lasting is 3 hours after taking it. Another thing they had suggested and I read about it to eat a carb with a protein just before bed, like 1/2 Apple with peanut butter or...

We are in the same boat, my Dr’s were quick to find out I was a LADA type 1 as well, now that you are on long lasting you should start feeling much better it made a world of difference for me, I have to go up/ down on my dose depending on time of month I go from 6-4 units, my good cells seem to...

Yes exactly!! It’s so nice to have this forum as we learn others struggle like us, Unfortunately most do not camp at the Dr office until they are seen as I did and continue to suffer as a type two diagnosis and get put on meds meant for type 2 when they are actually LADA type 1, I see some go...
