Error: No content files found.This is what living with diabetes is like Picture this: you’re going out to dinner with talks about it your significant other or your friend. You go to the restaurant. It’s a fantastic Italian place. You’re looking at the menu, you see a pasta dish with a cream sauce that looks incredible, there’s a steak-based dish, there’s calamari… …it all looks incredible. Before anything else, you have to think about: 🍕how many carbs you're going to dose for 🍕how much fat you're going to have to factor in 🍕when is that fat going to hit your blood sugar later on 🍕is the protein going to have any impact on your blood sugar But before you can even dose, you realize, “Wait, we walked a mile to this restaurant so I need to factor that into the dosing so I don’t crash on the way home”... “We're going to go into the hot tub after this too, which can also potentially make my blood sugars get a little wonky from the heat and insulin working faster….” “WAIT, what if we then get spontaneous dessert after the fact, which is only an hour and a half from now, and then…” You start to see how you have to literally have to live in the moment, but also live five minutes, fifty minutes, and 500 minutes into the future. I joke that you don’t understand diabetes Related Homepag unless you live with it or live with someone who has it (even then you kinda get it cause you don’t know what the high and low blood sugars feel like) But if this doesn’t describe diabetes to a T, I just click don’t know what does.
