If you have a lot of hypo, then you need to either eat more carbohydrates or inject less insulin. It is forbidden to recommend changing the dose of insulin here, and I recommend asking your doctor for advice or monitoring BG very carefully when changing the dose. But it seems you are really...

if you want, we can explain DAFNE to you without any courses (not as good as professional people, but still). This is an insulin regimen that allows you to eat whatever you want. I guess if you use insulin for a long time, then you use it anyway, you just don't know that it's called dafne. The...

I wait for the insulin to take effect if my BG is above 10, if it is above 13, I give an injection in order to lower BG and for food I give another injection when BG is normal, otherwise I give an injection right before eating, and if my BG is below 4.5, then I give an injection after food. But...

theoretically, you can do a pancreatic transplant, but practically in order for you to be assigned this operation, your kidneys must at least fail, besides, you will have to take immunosuppressants all your life (insulin therapy is considered safer), and the transplanted organ will work on...

my diabetes is 19 years old, and I was able to earn enough to afford cgm only this year (where I am, the state does not issue cgm for free). I have been living alone for about 5 years and there have been no problems with hypo, this is a condition from which you wake up regardless of whether you...

I usually wet a towel in cold water and wrap it in it :D , but there are also special thermos bags or a regular thermos for tea

as you can see, despite what is happening, I even got a cat. And I discussed with my sister, who is in Kiev, whether it is worth cutting the cat's claws, and she talked about plans to get a cat for herself. A strange realization, but life is life everywhere. You lie in horror for a few hours or...

grapes are an excellent remedy for hypoglycemia. After it BG increases very quickly

It seems to me that you in the West greatly exaggerate how bad everything is here. Of course, we prefer to stay away from our government and, if possible, have nothing to do with the police, but after all, you don't do something anti-government every day. There is free higher education and...

We almost had a military coup here recently, so we... since it is impossible to swear here, I will say that we were very scared :hilarious:

I just read this Post in thread 'What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)' https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-today-low-carb-forum.75781/post-2621420 [Ссылка] What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)...

16 units of basal and 4-12 units of bolus per meal, depending on what I eat. It's really very individual

she is indifferent to catnip and indifferent to boxes. I bought her a whole house for cats, but she prefers to sleep under the drawer where I keep the broom or on my couch, and prefers foil on a thread to all cat toys from my screams about the cat in the apartment, you can't tell that I...

:hilarious: good idea! Especially because often when I sit down to eat, she decides either to play with me or to eat my sofa/tablecloth/wallpaper and during the time I give her, my insulin has time to act I am so used to animals in a private house that I have no idea what to do with them in an...

She's fine unlike my scarred arms and legs :hilarious: What cute turkeys! I had a pet goose as a child, but for some reason turkeys scared me

Thank you! I am very bad at English, but I will try to find something that is easy to insert into Google translator :)

It sounds very appetizing. May I ask you to share recipes (or names) of the most delicious dishes? Not necessarily low-carb

alcohol reduces the level of bg only because it has a negative effect on your liver, blocking its ability to produce glycogen. Not the best idea for your health, besides, as soon as the liver copes with the intoxication of your body, it can "catch up"

It seems to me that the problem is that by "normal life" we mean the best of outcomes, a la a good job, a happy family, etc., we do not take the option of starving to death, going to prison, dying from a drug overdose, have no alcoholics the family, dementia, etc. Let's be honest, this option is...

After terrible hypoglycemia I realized that you can't do insulin before you feed the cat :hilarious:
