sarahemilie posted a discussionInterested in a Pump
In May, I will finally be getting a pump! After all these years of shots, I am deciding to make the change. I am seriously leaning toward the Medtronic. I was just wondering what everyone's opinion was on it! On both the pump itself and the CGM that comes along with it.Also, what about skins? I've been looking at a few, but I was wondering how long do they last? Can you re-use them? Any feedback would be great!!See More
sarahemilie replied to andrea's discussion 'Starting exercise tomorrow! Any advice?'"Spinning and running are great, but for alternative cardio, see if they have some sort of dance class! Those are definitely the most fun way to work up a sweat. Also, weight/strength training is very important. The more muscle mass you have, the…"
Trudy replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"Hi Saraemillie. You might try a little corn in some other form, like in a vegetable soup, and see if you get a bad reaction. You'd find out whether you're having a problem with the cereal or with corn.
Btw, I like a bowl of Greek Yogurt…"
JohnG replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"Rosanadana's response was, Always, it just goes to show you, it's always something--if it ain't one thing, it's another."
You will probably never know for sure....can you give up those "Frosted Flakes".... theirs…"
Nicole replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"Try it with soy milk! I have the same problem (not throw up, but burpy and nauseous) when I eat cereal with regular 1% milk, but when I eat it with soy milk, I don't have that problem. It also has more protein that cow's milk, so helps to…"
Black Llama replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"I can't dose for cereal either, and it's one of the foods I really miss since DX a few years ago. I used to love having a bowl in the evening as a before bed snack.
I have found though, that certain cereals are easier than other. Frosted…"
sarahemilie replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"Well shoot, I really hope its not Celiacs!
Today my glucose was 120 before I ate it, but it usually is my go-to low food. Maybe that's the problem!"
Trudy replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"Corn is often a problem for Celiacs. I have Celiac Disease and also cannot eat corn, soy, or shrimp. Corn flour is a really big problem."
christy replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"I LOVE cap'n crunch!!! But try to eat healthier if I'm going to indulge in cereal. I think Frosted Flakes are corn flakes, and therefore shouldn't be a problem with celiac. BUT it's not saying that food doesn't get cross…"
acidrock23 replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"Maybe some sort of celiac issue would be the problem, since many cereals are grainy? I'm not sure if Frosted Flakes are corn or wheat flakes?
I eat cereal and do ok with it. Cap'n Crunch is like 22G of carbs/ serving which, while not my…"
Spock replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"What are your glucose readings before you eat this? I agree that it is an "Are you kidding?" kind of food for a diabetic. But vomitting is a symptom (WAKE UP CALL) for very low glucose levels. If you are low and eat food like this, you may…"
christy replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"I eat Kashi cereal. Berry Blossem and I don't have any trouble with that cereal. Others do cause a really nasty spike,"
christy replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"I've had problems off and on with cereal but I've noticed the biggest problems I've had was when I had a really bad flair up of gastroparesis. Everytime I ate any cereal it would be the same situation, throw it back up. Other foods…"
sarahemilie replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"Haha Lucky Charms?! No way! Everyone knows Frosted Flakes are where its at :)
I always cover for it, though. Yeah, it takes a little more insulin than usual, but its worth it because its so tasty...until I throw it back up..haha."
JohnG replied to sarahemilie's discussion 'Throwing Up After Eating Cereal'"Frosted Flakes.. your kidding right!!!!...I sense that your body is trying to save it's self, I would consider Frosted Flakes to be the same to a diabetic as Kryptonite was to Supper Man. (It killed him)
Actually on the serous…"
