How do people cope with ‘food pushers’? I have lots of them in my family. They just don’t understand the need for me to pre-bolus.![]()
It depends whether I want what is being pushed.
If I do, I bolus in front of them and then eat straight away.
It is not always possible to pre-bolus. For example, if I am eating out (or round family and friends), I don’t know how much to bolus until i see the food and there is no way I am going to stare at my food for 30 minutes whilst everyone tucks into theirs.
It is only with the advent of Libre that we have become of the short term spikes from mistimed pre bolus and there are some 50+ years people with diabetes who are still going and they never had today’s technology for the first 30/40 years.
As long as I usually pre-bolus, I don’t stress.
If I don’t want what is being pushed, diabetes makes a good, polite reason to decline.
Depends on what is being pushedif it is anything Tuna based then a polite 'No thanks' however anything else is fair game, eat, enjoy inject later.
Yep back in the day before all this technology made things easier to deal with, I never worried about it, if I was high later on just inject more.
@Fairygodmother the nerf gun sounds good an always is a way of making sure I get the cake![]()
Defo rum melJust roaring some broccoli “rice” to have with a vegan curry for dinner. Levels been ok until about an hour ago when it looks like I’ve had another dollop of DP... can’t decide whether to kill it with insulin or rum, tbh.
Evening @Knikki .
Gotta ask you a quick question.
Do you listen to Liza Tarbuck on Radio 2?
Sounds like we’ve been on similar rides at the fairground today.
Maybe tomorrow it’ll be a more sedate ride.
Imminent house move is proving to be challenging, little tasks evolve into big tasks it seems. Diabetes is just going to have to take care of itself ( like that’ll happen).
Enjoy the spag bog and wine. Don’t come near me if you’ve been eating garlic bread though.
Awoke with a 7 and a straightish line on the Libre. However am feeling gutted, as the irritation that has been getting increasingly worse seems to have hit a new peak. After less than 48 hours wear I wanted to rip it off during the night, the itching was so bad. Have just had a 2 week break to help clear up the marks it leaves and had mixed feelings. On the one hand I was more relaxed about levels between meals, probably as I am using my new found knowledge the Libre gave me. On the other I missed those directional arrows.
I know where this is ultimately going. I will be leaving this fantastic invention behind. Hopefully they will hurry up with the implant they are developing.
Just say you are allergic to the food and do they have an ambiulance on stand by.congratulations <3
Morning,
Managed 1 of 4 family celebrations without binging on carbs and mostly staying in range.
I have weddings and a birthday party to come...
