    Meter Reading Anomoly

    Definitely test again if you feel like your meter isn't showing the correct results. It can happen and is understandably annoying, might be that you had some residue on one of your finger that caused the meter to give higher results.

    The SCREAM thread

    Forgot to get my new insulin Toujeo and the pharmacy can't get it anymore today. Back on Lantus for the second day i guess. Constantly in the lows today though, thought i'd be on the higher side.

    Speciesism, Veganism Type 1 Diabetes

    After reading and seeing so much about the meat industry the wife and i decided to cut back on meat though not avoid it completely. There are weeks that we don't eat any meat at all and i must say that those weeks i do find myself on the low side quite often. Also actually tried juicing for a...

    Protein Shakes

    The vast majority of people who get kidney stones from high protein diets are people who have a disposition for it. But off course you still need fibers and plenty of fluids but that's true for any diet. I've been taking 2-3 protein shakes a day for the last couple of years and generally taking...

    Anyone else on toujeo insulin?

    I've been on Toujeo for 3 weeks now i think. I was on lantus before and my morning values actually improved. I am taking 3 units more of the toujeo than with the lantus but i'm getting better results in the morning. With lantus i was usually fairly high in the morning, with toujeo i'm hitting...

    Protein Shakes

    I agree with TorqPenderloin, protein shakes have a purpose and depending on your need they can help or do little. The protein powder you mentioned is pretty high in carbs you'll find plenty in the 5g/serving range and lower. A lot of labels aren't correct neither you can check the lab results of...

    Tiredness

    I actually feel tired a lot. Don't know if it's because of diabetes but i'm not ruling it out of the list since i heard a few others complain about it. Even when my readings are fine i can still feel tired. Recently had my blood checked too and i was in the green on all account (every possible...

    The Walking Dead (may contain spoilers!)

    You should, the series often seemed like a vanilla version of the comics.

    The Walking Dead (may contain spoilers!)

    Don't know where the series is right now and it also seemed to get a storyline of its own independent of the comics. But in the comics stuff was repeating itself.

    The SCREAM thread

    After the terrorist attacks in Brussels you read and hear the most insane insensitive opinions. It also hit pretty close to home, my father in law works in the subway, thankfully not near where it happened. My co-worker's kid was on the same subway where the bomb went off, just two carriages...

    The Walking Dead (may contain spoilers!)

    I didn't watch the series for longer then 2-3 seasons but i do read the comics. It is getting kinda boring though, really hoping they're moving towards the end now. Still have to read the last couple of comics.

    My super cat

    Speaking of cats ... one of the kittens was getting a bit affectionate just now when injecting my long lasting insulin. She head butted the pen when i was injecting. It's cute that's she's trying to help but i'm pretty sure the needle was deep enough without the help.

    My super cat

    My cats wake me up ... as to their motive i'm not sure. My previous cat however was the nicest cat ever, we always joked he didn't know why he had nails. But when i was sick he sat with me the entire day and we actually had to put him in another room because he attacked the doctor or anyone that...

    Weight

    I don't know if it's the same for us but when people would use insulin for muscle growth they tend to put on a good amount of fat. Usually this also increases visceral fat which is harder to lose if there is insulin resistance. But again don't know in what way this affects us. Furthermore...

    Losing the will

    There isn't such a thing as one diet fits all, so it's not because it worked for someone else that it will certainly work for you. It's admirable that you're sticking with the diet but if you're not getting the desired results i would consider trying something different. As mentioned by @Enclave...
