It isn't a lot. But it is possible to achieve caloric sufficiency on that amount, which in my opinion should be your first priority.
It isn't a lot. But it is possible to achieve caloric sufficiency on that amount, which in my opinion should be your first priority.It depends on the food sales.
So it can vary from week to week.
With a total monthly amount of $60 left for food it's not alot.
Perhaps you need to be prepared to expand the boundaries of what you think is a healthy diet. I could reach caloric sufficiency on less than a £1 per-day, and I imagine you need far less than me.I've calculated buying a healthy diet. The calories come out inadequate.
I'm not really sure how to rethink this.Perhaps you need to be prepared to expand the boundaries of what you think is a healthy diet. I could reach caloric sufficiency on less than a £1 per-day, and I imagine you need far less than me.
I certainly couldn’t and definitely wouldn’t have much control of my blood glucose should I try it. But then I‘m fairly sure we disagree on what’s healthy. I’m assuming a fair amount of starches, grains and legumes (that spike me) would feature for you, I may be wrongPerhaps you need to be prepared to expand the boundaries of what you think is a healthy diet.

Whereas I believe @cdpm is thinking on the same lines as me, but I’d make sure there were natural fats in there too, often alongside the protein by buying fattier meats (often these are cheaper too) and having full fat dairy along with nuts and seeds (which I know aren’t suitable for cdpm)In my understanding of a good diet protein should come first then vegetables then grains/fruits. But for diabetes maybe skip the fruits and grains.
So u could go for the legumes and plant milks instead of animals and their products.
But then it's much higher carb.
Yes if I could I would eat 20 to 50 grams of carbs a day.I certainly couldn’t and definitely wouldn’t have much control of my blood glucose should I try it.

There's always nut butters .I certainly couldn’t and definitely wouldn’t have much control of my blood glucose should I try it. But then I‘m fairly sure we disagree on what’s healthy. I’m assuming a fair amount of starches, grains and legumes (that spike me) would feature for you, I may be wrong

I figured out the rapid insulin adjustments myself by reading and studying how. Because 1 dose for every meal was not right. Either too much or too little. Then when I finally got an endo dr he asks how much I'm using and when I explained i was using a ratio he said just one number I only wantHave you been trained to calculate the dose of your insulin or do you just take a fixed dose?
It maybe that you are not taking enough.
I would not worry about how much insulin other people take - the right amount is the amount we need for ourselves.
Bringing your BG down will help with your mood. I know it is not easy but if you have not be trained to use the tools you have been given (e.g. insulin), it is like being given a drill with the wrong sized bit.
So I'm unclear on something about my counselor (social worker) appt. She wants me to get Ed help because of it coming back. Which I know will involve trying to get me to eat more than the once a day. But if a person hasn't the funding to buy more all the counseling in the world won't help. So she either didn't hear me or ignored the financial part of our session. She did offer to fill a form out for a bit more finances but I already had that done there a few years ago. It's just not written down for them to see they already did that form for me.So I went to my 2 health care apps. today that I mentioned previously.
One was a nurse. She explained why my a1c doesn't match my high home numbers. It's because my numbers aren't staying at the 12 to 16s. If they were my a1c would be much higher than the 7.1. And she said the teaching of lose weight you will help your diabetes is old school thinking now. She said this when I told her how my 60 pound weight loss did nothing to help my diabetes. She didnt have any food recommendations just to come back in Nov.
My 2nd health care appt. was with a diabetes counselor. She recommended seeing a Dr about my bowel issues (the fact that most foods send Me right to the toilet ). And she wants to refer me to eating disorder help. As I have a history with eating disorders. I'm not sure if I will agree with that as I will need nearly 7 bucks every appt. (The only reason I got to do the 2 today is they were in the same clinic and I have just moved down the street from it so I walked but when it's icy out I won't be going).
So we're my 2 appts. fruitful?
Maybe idk.
I would take it from this that she at least partly heard you re finance, otherwise she wouldn't have suggested filling in the form.She did offer to fill a form out for a bit more finances but I already had that done there a few years ago. It's just not written down for them to see they already did that form for me.
