So... For those who don't know, I was diagnosed as #type2 #diabetic in November 2024 after several weeks of pissing 8/9 times a night 🥴
My HbA1c levels (blood sugars) were over 100 mmol at the time... Had a 3 month HbA1c test yesterday & it's now sitting at 48 mmol 🙌 Just need to get it down some more, probably to around 42 to 45 mmol, preferably without the mounjaro for the next few months...

Ok folks. Please hit me with your best lower carb, #keto #diabetic friendly ramen choices.

For pasta dishes I've used carbo-nada, but I really miss a good ramen.

Heck even a "just add hot water" ramen in a cup product would be awesome.

Any thing good to fill that ramen niche?

I got to #cat sit for my cousin's #diabetic cat quite a bit last year. Not an easy gig. But he was worth every bit of the effort. 🐈 youtube.com/shorts/CHoiu...

Out of the blue, I have made #diabetic friendly low calorie #hoisin equivalent:

- 3tbs low sodium soy sauce
- 1tbs water
- pinch of garlic powder
- sweetener to taste (I use 1tsp stevia)
- dash of grated ginger (optional)
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (thickener)

Whisk vigorously until blended. Xanthan gum can take a minute to fully thicken so go light if you don’t want concrete mortar.

screenshots from sukos carer letting us know the cost of sukos stay

and we're back to the vets again,
we are currently in Rural South Australia 800km in the other direction..

he has just been admitted and is staying with Advanced Vetcare in Kensington, Naarm

His body has gone into Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)

We've been thinking he's needed more insulin but hadn't fully shown signs of it to this degree (lethargic, vomiting etc)

Please keep him in your thoughts that we can fight through this 🙏

Late to the fruit snack game considering I’m a #diabetic, but I am here to say:

#Welchs >> #Motts

That is all.

I treated myself to a film at the local #cinema this afternoon -- it's nice to get out of the house and support a local indie business!

But I have to say: anyone who could get a line of #diabetic friendly #movie snacks could really do well. Low- or no-sugar, salt, and low- or no-animal fat, and free from coconut oil.

Unsalted nuts would work.

10% of Canadians are diabetic. Add on all the other people trying to eat healthy who would still like a movie treat, and that has to be a significant market.

To be clear, I have been a #diabetic for 2 decades - 20 years. Every time something changes with my health insurance, I have to make 5+ phone calls at minimum, often have to call the same organisation 3-4 times, have to deal with 3 different organisations(doctor, insurance, pharmacy/dme supplier), and not once have they been able to keep me alive without pushing me to the edge.

The US healthcare system is barbaric, and that isn't just RFK's fault - it has sucked for decades.

Mom, wearing a gray sweatsuit reclines in a white ophthalmology chair. The ophthalmologist, in a gray jacket and dark pants leans over her, giving her the eye injection. Additional medical equipment visible in the background.

So random good news. I dropped my A1C down two points. I went from a 9.1 to a 7.4 in 3 months without having to do a whole lot. I switched to "zero" everything when having sodas and started limiting desserts.

Not just a brag, but hoping that this inspires someone else to get their numbers under control. It can be depressing to be forced into life changes.

#diabetes PSA: the FDA just issued a recall for FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 plus sensors for reporting wrong levels, wity very serious consequences. if you are #diabetic or know someone who is, send this link to them, as this sensor is very popular worldwide and should be replaced with a non-faulty model ASAP.

The #ConnectedAtBirth #etymology of the week is ADVENT/DIABETES #wotd #advent #diabetes #diabetic #AdventCalendar

Many people are enjoying their chocolate-filled Advent calendars right now, but of course those who are diabetic have to make sure they don’t eat too many sugary treats. Advent, the period preceding Christmas, in reference to the “coming” of Christ, first appeared in English as aduent in late Old English, coming from Latin adventus “a coming, approach, arrival”, with specific reference in Church Latin to “the coming of the Savior”, and is the past participle of the Latin verb advenire “to arrive at, come to”, made up from ad “to, toward” (from Proto-Indo-European *ad- “to, near, at”) + venire “to come”, from *gw(e)m-yo-, a suffixed variant form of the PIE root *gwa- “to go, come”. PIE *gw- typically becomes v- in Latin, pronounced [w], but in Greek this consonant went a number of different ways such as b, d, or g, so *gwa- produced the Greek verb bainein “to go, walk, step”, which, when combined with the prefix dia- “through” (probably from PIE *dwo- “two”), produced the verb diabainein “to pass through” and the Late Greek noun diabetes, literally “a passer-through, siphon”. The 2nd c. CE Greek physician Aretaeus the Cappadocian first used the term diabetes to refer to the disease because of its chief symptom “excessive discharge of urine”.

I definitely underestimated just how stressful it was going to be, leaving the house for an extended period of time, for the first time since I was diagnosed with diabetes. It doesn't help that I'm omw to be surrounded by food I can't eat anymore, while having to deal with a highly social setting that is already challenging for an autistic person.

But the biggest stressor is making sure that I have everything I'm going to need in order to juggle blood sugar vs hunger, without being surrounded by all the little things I use for this throughout the day... permissible snacks, drinks, and sources of caffeine that I use to stave off hunger without spiking my blood sugar. I can't load up the whole fridge and take it with me, and who knows what will trick my carb-deprived body into letting up on the next bout of cravings?

I'm sure this will get easier when I've done it many times. But I'm a total noob. I've already had one autistic meltdown today. I hope that's all.

Going out on a trip, and this means I'll be away from my Blood Sugar Monitor, so I rushed and added some basic info to my watch.

IMO, way more complicated than it needed to be, but it's working, and I don't have more time, so this will do.
