Glucose will not get into the cells in any way. That's the problem. This will all remain in the bloodstream and cause ketoacidosis. Yes, we will feel tired, but very soon we just find ourself in a hyperglycemic coma heh, google what diabetics looked like before the invention of insulin, shock...

Thanks, baby oil worked great!

I find it quite difficult to wash off the glue from my hand after removing the libre sensor. It is not washed with soap or alcohol, it seems to me that my skin will peel off faster than I will wash this glue. In general, it takes me several days wash all the glue off my hand Sometimes it seems...

average life expectancy and yours are different things. You can live up to 100 years, or you can go out tomorrow and get hit by a car. Steve Jobs was very fond of the phrase "live as if today is the last day and one day you will be right." That's a good idea, isn't it? Personally, I was very...

One package for each month. But it depends on the dose. How much insulin do you use per day? In theory, the amount of insulin you need should have grown because you've run out of time when your beta cells were still alive

how fast is your bg changing? To be honest, I always thought that this was normal, because even my healthy friends after eating bg could reach almost 10, but very quickly returned to normal

historical background: Diets which involved cutting back sharply on carbohydrates and then increasing the proteins or fats to compensate, achieved nothing – or, worse, caused a higher rate of acidosis and death in coma because of their fat content. The answer was to continue to cut back on...

heh, this year has been the worst in my life. I hope next winter won't be nuclear but still, there was a lot of good things this year, wasn't there?

thank you!

Oh my God, I missed all the fun! @Antje77 your cats are great! I've always dreamed of a black cat, but my parents have 5 cats and no black ones, and I don't have any pets at all. It's probably too late to wish you a Merry Christmas. Where I am, Christmas is not celebrated, so I only...

The phrase isn't original or even offensive, but you can just ask something like "do you really think you're making me feel better by saying that?". Illness and suffering are not a competition for who is worse.

you can use 8mm needles, just in this case the injection is not perpendicular, but at an angle of 45 degrees. The point is that you have to get into the layer of subcutaneous fat

even if his rage is caused by diabetes (my mood is not much different even if my bg is 30 or 2), he has no right to snap at you. If he needs to vent his emotions, he always has a gym or at least just a pillow to yell at or hit, but not you. Try to at least leave at such a moment, think first of...

I usually ask for insulin from diabetic friends in such cases (although more often they ask for insulin from me ). Have you ever tried telling your doctor that your dose is higher than it actually is and making a supply of insulin for such cases?

diabetes is not as easy to die from as you think. Just take a sweet soda/candy/sugar and insulin with you for a walk and you will be able to cope with both hypo and spikes. If you stay at home and don't go out, your emotional state will only worsen. At least invite friends to visit, watch a...

what a true remark! Fred didn't make insulin for us to live a boring life without friends and holidays Good luck! holidays are a good time for such experiments ;)

Alcohol is bad, even without diabetes ;) ...and sugar is bad even without diabetes... many things are bed, but let's be honest, few people adhere to a healthy lifestyle , although healthy lifestyle is good

I don't know about you, but I can drink beer. Look at how it affects your bg, basically alcohol blocks the ability of the liver to produce glycogen, so your bazal will work like a bolus. I don't want to call anyone to dangerous experiments, but I think we need to know how fast and how much our...

I'm on injections, if I eat something like that, the number of injections per day can be more than 10, but basically my strategy looks something like "It's better to give an injection than not to do it" :hilarious: , if bg increases greatly, then I give an injection, if bg drops a lot after...

No, I eat everything, including sugar, sometimes including sweet alcoholic cocktails. I don't really like sweets, but I eat whatever I want. The only thing I try to avoid is very fatty foods, because it slows down insulin Sometimes my food looks like this Fred turned over in his grave...
