The Diabetes Thread v. DIABEEETUS

[hunnus2000]

That's unbelievable. Were you having symptoms at 13? How long do you think you were that high?
Are you not on the Monjaro? That's weird that only 15 pounds and a temporary dosage of Monjaro would take care of it.

I understand it's crazy - even to me!

I don't know if had symptoms but I was falling or almost falling down. I was enveloped in a kind of nearly passing out but not quite. Once I stopped, that went away.

Now I may have lost more weight on monjaro than I remember but I did lose the weight in the most ECRUCATING way ever! Monjaro made me angry, it made me have a strange "down low" moments and I had mood swings, but I lost the weight.

I knew that quitting Fireball would help me get back to normal and along with the medication, it did.

BTW people - take your vitamins seriously! I know a few people who have been out of whack with their minerals and have taken a trip to the emergecy room.

Beans are high in carbs.

I thought the fiber helped offset the effects of the carbs though. I might be wrong but I thought that was true.

I feel it when I don't take mine.

Thankfully, the thread topic has not been an issue for me.  That said, I have been very lazy and my diet has been awful for most of the past year, so I really should get back on track and be more disciplined to do my best to keep from ending up on the wrong side of that.

As for references to our good friend, I will just add:

Add me to the list of those who would kill for a 5.7 A1C.

At least your A1C won't spike from a good stogie...

No, but a high enough nicotine one can give a slight blood pressure drop, and a good cure for THAT is a small piece of dark chocolate, so it's a neverending cycle lol.

My burden is heavy.

Nothing wrong with a small piece of dark chocolate, even for a diabetic.

A friend just sent me a picture of a papusa and chorizo benedict and I'll take the glucose hit for that one. Holy fuck.

My kid brother (5 years younger) unfortunately got hit with the juvenile variety and has been on 6 shots a day for the last 32 years. Missing his right leg and had the big toe cut off the other one last year. Regrettably has also been an opioid addict for a good chunk of that time so that’s probably how he copes if he’s still (probably) doing that behind our backs.

Father and grandfather had the milder type and I’m just very fortunate it skipped me. I empathize with all you guys who have to deal with it.

Oh man, that's awful.
