And how is this regime making you feel? What are your bloods doing?Today's was 4 tbsp. smooth peanut butter and 4 cups of homemade green pea soup.
Made with canned peas, veggie broth cubes, water, curry powder.
All the insulins were removed from my plan but the 2 I get covered.OMAD means getting all your nutritional needs at that sitting. Not starvation. A few cups of carrot soup isn’t going to meet your ongoing needs and you’ll quickly become malnourished missing essential minerals vitamins and fats.
I’m not an insulin user but surely there’s more than these two options? Where are you and how do you get your insulin, maybe someone else can help with ideas how to better solve this issue.
I see you are type 2 not 1. Do you know if you still produce insulin yourself? Most of us do and it’s usually a lot, but not very effective at overcoming our resistance to it. It could be that simply cutting out the carbs rather than all food might be a better solution than no food, at least for right now.
There are only 2 insulins covered now by my plan.Hi @cdpm am I correct in that you have issues with trurapi which you are using instead of novorapid? Could you ask to be put on a different fast acting insulin?
What is your issue with the basaglar?
Some people do have issues with some insulins (sometimes caused by the preservatives in the insulin) but it's very unusual for there not to be a version that works. I've been on masses of different brands in my time as a T1. New Zealand (where I live) has a relatively limited range, but still has quite a few
But I agree with @HSSS that it would be helpful to know if you were still producing insulin, and how much? As a T1 I would be dead in a few days if I didn't inject, even if I fasted, but know that things can be very different for some T2s on insulin. Some can reduce their insulin needs by reducing their carbs.... (Not saying this is necessarily the case for you).
And I too am concerned that you may not be eating enough to cover your nutritional needs....
And how is this regime making you feel? What are your bloods doing?
Yes this is possible.Is it possible for you to make the soup then strain it so there's no puree only liquid? If so, it would give a variety of flavours and good nutrition without the texture you don't want.
Is there an end in sight for the insulin or sore mouth situation? If these are not short term measures then you need to know what it is also doing to your diabetes. Can you get medical support (not sure where in the world you are)?Today is soup and pb and nutritional drinks.
Trying for more variety and calories at one time.
This is it. There is no end in sight. No other choice for me.Is there an end in sight for the insulin or sore mouth situation? If these are not short term measures then you need to know what it is also doing to your diabetes. Can you get medical support (not sure where in the world you are)?
