I'm hungry! but I don't wanna go downstairs to get something plus I need to have a fasting blood…

Taking insulin?

yup @exoticyuri

I take novolog and lantus . I've been on a sliding scale since I was 14. Usually I get extra room to eat. Are you on a set dose

I like turkey bacon if my sugar high ! 0 carbs 😍

what does that mean? a set dose? @exoticyuri

Like I was diagnosed when I was 9. I can't remember what insulin I took but there was two kinds. Like morning it was 10 units of one 12 of the other or something. Night it was 6 of one 5 of the other. Just an example cause I can't remember the dosages. Anyway I took these two doses twice a day at the same time in the morning and at night. I ate 3 meals a day each 60 carbs. And had like two or three snacks at 30 carbs. If my sugar dropped I ate more. Anyway my sugar got too hard to control so I switched to a sliding scale. Lantus every 24 hours and novolog when I eat. 1 unit per every 15 carbs I eat. So I eat when I want to just as long as I compensate.

ah I have a certain amount to take at night and in the morning. we are having to adjust numbers every week. I'm not sure what my numbers are like when I'm not pregnant but I'm definitely gonna get tested after and make sure I keep my diabetes in check. I know I need to work harder on my diet. how do you monitor your carbs? how do you stay full? I like my food is my main problem so I over indulge. @exoticyuri

I'm on a sliding scale so as long as I take insulin to compensate and my sugar isn't high, I can eat whenever I want. But if it's high I hold off a good 30 min .if I'm really hungry I eat snacks like turkey bacon, jerky, cheese, olives, other random snacks that have little to no carbs. I've always liked soup and can control the carbs when I make it myself. Doesn't matter how thin or watery it is, it will fill you up if you eat enough. So try making a broth and sipping on that till you can actually eat. Or ask about a sliding scale? But cheese, turkey bacon, jerky are all like zero carbs so I will smack a little on those types of things if I can't eat donuts and pizza right then. I actually didn't watch my diabetes . Almost went into kidney failure. Then I got all my shit in check when I found out I was pregnant. And if you are questioning something without a nutritional chart, ask for one. McDonald's or Denny's are required to keep nutritional charts. I also have tons of books telling you carbs and sugars of miscellaneous goods that don't usually have labels. Like bananas, beer, coconut, fried chicken.

Inbox me if you want. This for too in depth lmao
