Endocrinologist In Oakland County, MI. Many Thanks
Hi Everyone,
I just got diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in November 2023. This disease is still “new” to me and I’m learning everyday. I just got an insulin pump about a month ago. It is not keeping me in range.

You’re welcome Kelly8! Hopefully making some small changes will get you back in range and feeling better. Then you can eat more without fear. Just remember to give yourself some grace. Nothing is… read more
Had Italian Last Night
Shared appetizers - fried calamari, spinach/artichoke dip, mozzarella & insalata caprese
Entree Zuppa Di Pesce with
Shrimp, clams, scungilli, mussels & scallops in a fresh tomato sauce with a small amount of angel hair pasta which I did not eat the pasta
This morning my blood sugar is all over the place and high
So what should I have not eaten?
Thanks!!

I Just Had A Sonic Diet Cherry Limeade
I looked it up and it was 4 carbs
It has raised my blood sugar considerably
Anyone else experience this?
Cherry lime aid is one of my guilty pleasures. Don’t get them often and when I do, get a small. It definitely will raise your sugar levels as does Coca Cola. Compensate with a little extra insulin.
