Jessica replied to Natalie ._c-'s discussion 'THE Club'"We should definitely have a club! I have done this many times :) another favorite of mine is when I walk by a door and my line gets caught on the knob. I keep going and my pump stays there haha!"
Jessica commented on Jessica's blog post 'Chocolate and Diet Coke will be the death of me!!! :)'"Thanks guys! Indeed all the help I can get. I will definitely look into this."
Elizabeth commented on Jessica's blog post 'Chocolate and Diet Coke will be the death of me!!! :)'"Probably won't surprise you to hear that frequent infections are also a common symptom of adrenal insufficiency. It's worth checking into, anyway ;)"
"Jessica, I totally understand your issue. I've been diabetic for 29 years and have always struggled with food so it doesn't make the munches that come along with the lows any easier. I ALWAYS over treat. I can't help it. I wish I…"
Jessica replied to Sharon (Sneetch by the Beach)'s discussion 'sick of it.......' in the group Diabetes Burn Out"Totally understand how you feel! I have had diabetes for 14 years. Lately my A1c has been higher than it has ever been, and I was just feeling like maybe I had a handle on it. I am having a tough time motivating myself to do better because when I…"
Jessica commented on Jessica's blog post 'Chocolate and Diet Coke will be the death of me!!! :)'"Hmm... Good idea Elizabeth :) I just had a huge panel of bloodwork done but I can't remember if they tested for that. I do have highs too, I had huge marriage issues a couple of months ago and am just finally getting them back close to normal…"
Elizabeth commented on Jessica's blog post 'Chocolate and Diet Coke will be the death of me!!! :)'"Jessica, are you having lows only, or highs too? Because usually, stress brings on highs, and what may be happening is, you're over-correcting for the highs and winding up stacking yourself into a low.
Another possibility, if you're having…"
Jessica replied to Kelsey's discussion 'News..'"Congrats Kelsey! Keep your goals high :) You can do this! Maybe your timing is not what you had planned, but be proud of yourself. It's hard to be diabetic but even harder to be a pregnant diabetic- the fact that you are willing to take on…"
Black Llama commented on Jessica's blog post 'Chocolate and Diet Coke will be the death of me!!! :)'"Wow, 2 to 4 tabs?? Kit kats! I'm with Jenni. Depending on the severity of the hypo I ether take :
5 skittles
1 glucose tab (or a half if it's not too bad)
8 measures oz of OJ

Jessica commented on Jessica's blog post 'Chocolate and Diet Coke will be the death of me!!! :)'"Thanks for all the great advice! I am on a pump and I do bolus for the extra carbs but I know that's way too many to eat at once.

Brian (bsc) commented on Jessica's blog post 'Chocolate and Diet Coke will be the death of me!!! :)'"Those of us with diabetes are just set up to have difficult relationships with food. Binging is something that I think many of us can relate to, and it doesn't just happen, it reflects our feelings about food and how messed up we can feel when…"
Elizabeth commented on Jessica's blog post 'Chocolate and Diet Coke will be the death of me!!! :)'"What I do often is, I bolus for the food but set the pump to "square bolus" so that insulin infuses slowly. I don't know how that would work if you're on MDI though. I think what you would have to do is eat your carbs and wait 15…"
jbowler commented on Jessica's blog post 'Chocolate and Diet Coke will be the death of me!!! :)'"Bolus for what you eat, correcting for the low blood sugar. That's easy on a pump (I'm using the Omnipod). The sugar goes through faster than the insulin, but I still wait until my blood sugar is at least 70 (and clearly going up) before…"

I feel like such a pig tonight! I just finished eating an ENTIRE King Size Kit Kat! Yes, the one that has like 8 very satisfying crunchy breaks. The yummy chocolaty goodness poured over the perfectly crisp wafers is hard to resist when my BS is good. But when it is low.... oh man, can't fight it. (Ha Ha)I am 21 and have been diabetic for 13 years. I have yet to find a good way to curb the cravings from being low. Has anybody out there found a good way to stop yourself before eating way too…
