    Don't laugh (or do), why am I going low every time I share a bed with my friend?

    so, when training 4 times a week, did you change the dose of lanthus every other day?

    Don't laugh (or do), why am I going low every time I share a bed with my friend?

    A dumb question from a person who does not use a pump, but is basal called something different with a pump than with injections? Is it a constant injection of fast-acting insulin at regular intervals? It's just that even a fairly flexible lantus is 24 hours, which seems very long, in order to...

    Don't laugh (or do), why am I going low every time I share a bed with my friend?

    Two days after? or how does it work? Do you always plan sex? I mean, it's often something spontaneous when you just want to. Of course, there are dates when you know exactly how it will end and then you can adjust the dose in the morning... but what to do with spontaneous episodes? For example...

    Don't laugh (or do), why am I going low every time I share a bed with my friend?

    the effect is not so long as to affect the basal, especially on such a basal as tresiba, rather it affects the need for a bolus, and even then for several hours but "looking for someone to lower my basal insulin needs" would be a very interesting description of a profile on a dating app :D

    Don't laugh (or do), why am I going low every time I share a bed with my friend?

    Probably because of the endorphins. I often put a sugar bowl by the bed before sex, so maybe this is typical. I can't say that I really like to interrupt the process to eat sugar, but to some extent, when you are served sugar at such a moment, it's even romantic. The problem is that if I raise...

    Stress and fear during consultations with doctor

    Well, there is always an option to say that everything is fine, so as not to be lectured on how to live properly. If you know that instead of support you will get condemnation, better change the subject and talk about something else. My family doesn't know about 80% of my problems.

    Libre 2 sesnor and contact sports

    I use regular tapes (which are used to treat injuries). It turns out to be very cheap and can be used in case of injury. Is your sensor just firing or is it being knocked down by your partner? I usually just ask not to hit me in the sensor when boxing.

    Stress and fear during consultations with doctor

    it became easier for me to live when I realized that most people, especially those connected with me by profession, do not want anything from me and do not feel anything about me. They have a lot of patients and simply do not have the emotional resource to condemn each of them, they just want to...

    Advice for starting on Tresiba

    my doctor reduced my dose by 20% and forbade changing it for 5 days until tresiba was in a loop, and then increased the dose until a normal profile was reached. It turned out to be less than 1:1. Anyway, I think you should ask your doctor and not us, because people are different. Of the...

    Have you disclosed your diabetes diagnosis as a disability with your employer?

    I didn't report this as some kind of requirement for additional conditions, but he knows that I have diabetes and very nicely tried to take care of it by organizing a party for colleagues and buying me food marked "sugar-free" (and 70g of carbohydrates) :=D

    Traveling with Tresiba

    with a 5-hour time difference, I just started taking a tresiba injection at local time and didn't notice the difference, with an hour difference, I gave the injection as I was used to, because it was easier for me not to adjust the daily routine to local time

    a website with delicious recipes

    I remember that someone on this forum shared a link to a site with low-carb recipes (yes, I realize that a lot of people did it here), it was definitely a full-fledged site with a lot of recipes, but all I remember is meatloaf with mozzarella. I really want to find this site, but I can't. There...

    Frequency of Tresiba dose adjustment?

    it is not recommended to change the dose of tresiba often because this insulin must cycle and work for more than 24 hours. It takes about 5 days for you to see the effect of a dose change. This does not mean that you cannot change the dose for months.

    I need to reduce my Tresiba (again!), and it's a pain in the proverbial. And nighttime hypos.

    Similar story :D. Literally in a year and a half, my basal dose dropped from 26 to 12 units, and only recently rose to 14, despite the fact that up to this point, since the end of puberty, my dose has been very stable. I have no idea why this happened. I was under a lot of stress when I couldn't...
