@SW-User what are the symptons

Most people reject my approach to things, but I'll offer anyway. 🤷♂
Look into replacing some parts of your diet with things like Jerusalem Artichokes, and wild greens.
Yes, I said wild! Even something as common as mustard can have 18 TIMES more nutritional value than any store bought option!
Stinging Nettle, FANTASTIC STUFF!! Grows all over the place, prepared like you would steamed spinach, with a little butter and salt, it is delicious!! It has some fantastic health benefits too!
Watercress, more fantasticness! 😆 Raw or steamed, great stuff! Chopped raw and added to an egg salad sandwich, or tuna even, it has a complimentary taste that is so good!
If you know of a nice little field or wooded patch that isn't right next to the highway, take a walk and see what you can find.

I'm so sorry. 🫂

@mindstruggle Thanks ...I'm having one of those days where I just am frustrated with the whole thing

@SW-User
I get that. Sometimes you just need to be frustrated about it without having to explain yourself. It sounds exhausting having to constantly explain something that you’re already dealing with every day. I’m sorry you’re having one of those days. ❤🫂

My body doesn't know the difference between me eating a salad one day and eating a snickers bar some days .... my blood sugars will come up high either way sometimes...

@SW-User Snickers it is then 🤷♂

I'm exhausted
I don't know much about this particular arena but @CallMeSoph definitely does. I can only feel for you because chronic health problems are draining.

@SW-User my diabetes has been unstable and it’s the worst, at times I’ve literally felt like I’m dying. I’m on other medications that mess with my diabetes too so getting the balance right sucks. I have safe meals that are my go to when I’m unstable that seem to work for me

SW-User
@CallMeSoph It does suck . Sometimes I will get myself back on track then something will happen...I get sick ...not enough sleep....stress ....whatever ....then I'm back to square one again and my doctors just look at me like it's my fault and have no real solutions except take more insulin or go on a pump which I did 2 years ago and it was a disaster ....so back to.MDI
CallMeSoph · F
@SW-User they keep talking about me going on a pump too but I don’t want to. Diabetes sucks, any sort of illness always makes mine unstable too

There’s so much they don’t know and it’s incredibly frustrating.
