it is a rare case when I have a relatively beautiful photo of my low-carb soup. I really like to eat it, but I don't like to cook it

Great news! I'm so glad you could do it! It seems that your child treats injections calmly. This is a good sign! In fact, when you save a child's life, you don't do anything wrong, even if he is in pain or crying. Just remember that

I didn't mean tell your son to "do it yourself," and go drink tea while he does it. Something like "Let's you try to do it yourself. Look, here you need to click 2 times (substitute the necessary dose), and now squeeze the skin and sharply insert the needle ..." and sit next to him while he does...

Bruises do not appear from how quickly you pull out the needle, but from the fact that you get into a blood vessel. But if you're interested, even if a bruise appears from the injection, it still doesn't hurt. If you are afraid of hurting your child, use a new needle, this is almost a 100%...

can your son do the injection on his own? usually, children easily cope with this and often rejoice at how independent they are if they know how to give injections. I was only a year older than your son when I was diagnosed and my parents practically didn't give me injections

Usually it's no more than 30-40g, but sometimes I want to have a good time with friends (a lot of sweet alcoholic cocktails / cake / pizza and cola) and then it can be even 300

Tresiba is a very well-looped insulin. When I wanted to move the injection time from evening to morning, I skipped the injection for 12 hours, and then in fact duplicated the dose, I expected hyperglycemia, and then severe hypos, but my bg was fine. So I don't think you should worry.

Congratulations! This is a really cool achievement! You've done a lot for this!

what is depicted on the last photo?

a single glucose measurement has nothing to do with hba1c. Hba1c reflects the average glucose value for 3 months.

May be One Touch Basic? I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2004, but I remember that there was something like that

usually, thioctic acid is prescribed for neuropathy, but these are usually droppers, not pills. Although, I sometimes buy it in tablets. Why don't you ask your doctor what you should take? Advice from other people is very subjective and may not be suitable for you, besides, we are not doctors...

What an interesting life you have! I envy!

Isn't 2.9 a normal value for a healthy and hungry person? Look, this is not a particularly rare phenomenon https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7296129/

not necessarily insulin. For example, ozempic or gliclazide can cause hypoglycemia because they affect insulin production, but Metformin cannot, because it only affects insulin sensitivity, but not its production. Your body is smart enough to know when you have enough insulin. If you read the...

if you only take metformin, then you can't have hypo. Hypoglycemia is a consequence of hypoglycemic drugs (such as insulin or gliclazide), and not drugs that reduce insulin resistance (such as Metformin)

insulin cannot be heated or frozen, because it reduces its effectiveness, it is believed that the storage temperature of insulin is from +2C to +8С, and an unfavorable temperature is usually called above +30C or below 0C, but if you ask about the experience of this, then where I am sometimes...

strawberries, blueberries, blueberries contain about 6-8 g of carbs per 100g, but if you use berries as an additive, you don't use 100g, if you eat half a kilogram of berries at a time, then you are right that there are a lot of carbs in this not always. Pizza, for example, has a lot of both...

What does moderator work involve at all (except for the obvious "If you see an ad, delete it")? How many hours a day should you spend on this?

My God, that sounds terrible! When I read this, my brain paints terrible pictures. Glad you handled it.
