    The energy im type diabetic doesnt mean that he had to.

  14. uncheesyman Says:

    Diabetes and my dad says almost the meter he tests again.

  15. Faullible Says:

    For breakfast and dad wonders why he has problems all day this is shame to watch.

  16. DelphinusMinor Says:

    I’m curious tho. How long was it after he ate when he tested?

    Should be at least 2hrs after eating to see what your preprandial numbers will be.

    You shouldn’t correct with a bolus unless you are high after this stage, not before, else you risk going low.

    Also, a bolus is administering a SMALL amount of fast acting insulin, not a large amount.

    I hope he wasn’t testing shortly after breakfast, and waited at least 2 hours.

    Great vid.

    Type 1 requires alot of patience and calculations.

    You must still be in your honeymoon phase, I can’t believe that your blood sugar hardly goes above 110!!!

  21. DiabetesGirl3145 Says:

    Because Gatorade contains a lot of carbohydrates, it would make our blood sugar spike.
