My yearly McRib worked quite nicely a couple weeks ago, and for once, I actually managed a good I:C to eat it!
Trisha
BigMac is unbeatable for me, and thanks to using the excuse to take more insulin (if needed), I can eat, and
usually do eat, alot of them when I do, but I love food as well and really it is nothing that has given me to much
of a problem as long as I can control the amount in decent figures. My biggest problems have always been,
as you mentioned, 'after number'. I had excellent sugar numbers after my last Biggie and McDonald's intake,
it took hours upon hours until the real figures came to me, which was Horrible, I got forced to take a huge
amount of Bolus to fix it as well as avoid my evening meal as it messed up my entire scheme.
But that's life with our digestive systems I guess, then again, worth mentioning, as the DM knowledge and
Insulin creation\knowledge has skyrocketed during the last 10 to 20 years I think we soon are going to get
much better and most T1's will have not much of a different life compared to a 'regular' person.
Your insulin numbers are awesome Trisha (compared to my own), I am currently working on reducing the amount
and simple blamed my own incompetence on the amount I am "forced" to take at the moment and the incidents
that occurred on occasion (haha, yeah, what do you mean Bob? incidents? Do go in detail, Please)....
As it is now, I reduced my amount to a stable 25 Units of Lantus every morning and after that any intake is covered
by NovoRapid, usually roughly 7 Units and never more then 10 as a Bolus cover.
As a point of stupidity, I wanted to make my own foolishness clear here, if there is anyone on this forum that has
and consider themselves to acted stupidly, do not worry, I doubt anyone can beat -> old Bob <- in being a moron,
seriously, it would be tough.
Between (roughly, cant give exact amounts or time) 2009 and 2010 I would have had atleast one, usually two or
so Hypos each month, I chewed my tongue until it bled, I had my arm spasmodic which seems to have caused a
permanent pain in my arm, so far it has not healed up completely but it seems to close a "better stage" finally.
I finally learned to change my intake and practical lifestyle, which is ironic having had DM for such a long time, and
I am getting better and have had one Hypo in the last 6 months, which, for me, is awesome. I have no doubt you guys
are laughing at this, but for me, it is something to be proud of and hope to be even better. When I had my one Hypo,
not to long ago, I felt so amazingly disappointed at myself, it felt like I failed and reminded me of how anorectics see
others thinking of them as "fat" or "ugly" and other ridiculous things are just makes no sense, but I still feel it, I feel
that I fail even if I get one Hypo whatever its a bad one or not.
Anyway, I just wanted to share, I thought this was a suitable topic
