Tried Crossfit for the first time today. I was looking forward to seeing what my numbers were going to do, but of course my CGM sensor quit 10 min into the warm up. I was 129 prior to warm up and 147…Continue
Do you drink diet soda? Coffee? Wine? How much? How does it affect your BG?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Karen Aug 4, 2012. 37 Replies 0 Likes
I'm finding that my BG is more unstable this summer. I've attributed it to the heat, hormones, the end of my honeymoon, wierd sleep patterns, and caffeine, etc. I have found it easier to grab a diet…Continue

Molly replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Way better today and reread my post. I kinda sound like a whiny brat, not my usual MO. Brain damage from the lows?!?! LOL. Thanks for all the notes of encouragement. I needed them.
Cheers!
Molly"
Christopher replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Molly:
We've all been there. I'm so sorry. There's nothing wrong with breaking down, getting angry, getting frustrated. Key is to remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint, and not to beat yourself up over it. Find some down time…"
lotsofshots replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Most of the time my BGs are not that bad and I feel well, but I do get the kind of days that you are talking about. It happens when I start low in the morning, and then get more lows during the day. After a while I start to feel like I am being…"
acidrock23 replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Whenever I encounter any sort of bad situation (what, 2-3 times/ day?) there's always a need to do whatever is necessary to fix it and I kind of focus on that. Then when "it" is over, I try to be happy about that."
drsoosie replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Thank you...it just came to me recently. I said it to someone and they actually got it...I think! Anyhow, I know you and all of us here get it."
Molly replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Thanks. I am feeling better and grateful, so lucky to have TuD!"
guitarnut replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Everyone has days/weeks/months like this.
I deal with three major chronic diseases, but D is the most labor-intensive. I happen to find fibromyalgia more annoying because it limits me the most, but D burns me out more.
The support my family had when…"
Molly replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Glad to hear I'm not alone. :) I've only been d a year and 6 months. You guys are an inspiration. M"
Molly replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"You are right on..... I have been feeling like "low battery" for a while now, no joke. I am looking forward to summer vacation which is coming up soon! Thx for the reply!"
Nicole replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Sounds like all you really need is a hug! If I could give you a squeeze through the computer, I sure would. Hang in there!"
Judith replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Yumpin' Yimminy. Yes. At any moment it is a possibility. I have "progressed" from RAGE and flinging my meter (which I call The Leech) against the wall to just getting sad and weepy instead. Our common scourge possesses a confoundingly…"
Tom replied to Molly's discussion 'Do you ever just break down?'"Karen, you've got me beat, by a year! Not sure what I'll do when I hit the 50 year mark."

Josh F said… Well, the good news is this. getting T1 so late is a blessing. Your complications won't happen until technology will have them all figured out, T1 will be cured, or you will be too old to care...or you just won't get them. Lol
;-) Morbid I know, but there is a silver lining to everything in a weird way. Thanks for the kind words btw.
