@DoctorTro When I was first diagnosed, the doctor said “whelp, looks like you’re a diabetic. Follow up with us in a couple weeks.” then handed me a script for Lantus. I found his book that week and learned everything I could on how to manage myself. I’ve been better for it. He was a legend.
@betacellpodcast @T1Factz@ryanattar If 65 is “low” I’ll take that versus the risk of all the other complications of being hyper. I have none of the complications I see in people my age or younger when I am at the endocrinologist.
@ryanattar @betacellpodcast My personal findings as well. Which is why standard deviation is helpful when putting that out there too. Plus it’s not a dive or crashing low, and be corrected in small increments.
@TrevorSCrane@AKoutnik Same here. I notice limited change in BG readings when weight training, but greater potential for lows during cardio greater than 30 minutes in duration.
@drandyphung Not easy at first. But as a diabetic, the results of cutting carbs makes life better in the long run. Less worry, lower medical costs, greater peace of mind. Put in the work to reap the rewards.
@DikemanDave @DrManison@drscottyk There’s a lot of work up front to unlearn some bad habits, but as you learn to follow and learn your own body, it becomes much easier to maintain long term. Much better peace of mind not having major swings from high to low.
@ryanattar @DikemanDave @KenDBerryMD@SBakerMD Yes they are. I wish more medical professionals and their patients had that same view instead of settling.
