Beat da Beetus

Name is Shelby. I am a type 1 diabetic. I have this blog to share my life as a diabetic. Help those that I can. Of any type.Though I will be able to relate to type 1 a lot more. I won't pretend to know something medically if I don't. I won't give straight out medical advice (very limited exceptions) because all of us are different with our bodies. I don't want to risk your life because something works for me. I will ask for advice and give advice. Gain support and give support. It's always nice to have people who can relate to you. <3 Feel free to ask me anything, suggest food and things that help motivate you to take better care of yourself.

I love you all! =D

followers, i need you..

i’m seriously i need someone to talk to, someone that is up often at late nights.

i recently tried to take my life and just got out of the hospital but mind and heart still feels the same.

i hate to ask for things but IF you want and can just send me a basic message about anything……..

you can even send me your facebook info and i can talk to you there. it’s easier.

 my followers have helped me with other things so much……… i love you all!

diabetes and workout

So I was just curious if you all work out…… what kind of workouts do you do and what kind of foods do you eat if you get low during so it doesn’t throw the point of working out completely out of wack?! 

I have had to lower my lantus a few times the last two weeks since I have actually been working out almost everyday since then. I am starting to see while staying on schedule with working out if you’re doing it regularly is important.

i always run a bit high, better safe than sorry and don't forget to test when youre drunk if thats the direction youre steering in

Thank you, my biggest issue was running high WHILE drinking and waking up a few hours after falling asleep and having a big hypoglycemic episode. No matter what I drank. Just no fun!

Thanks again!

Questions!

So it’s almost the spring so that means walks/runs/races and all these charity events are back.

Which ones are you competing in or raising awareness or money for this year?
I need to start getting my team stuff organized and back together for the fall events.
Even if you can’t walk/run/race/ or donate you can still raise awareness for all of it.








I am on the KCMO event. My team is Mutated Pancreas Society. This will be the 9th year! =D Super stoked.

i stick to clear liquor when i drink, because it has the least effects on my bloodsugar. my favorite shot is a Pineapple Upside Down Cake (pineapple juice, vanilla vodka, grenadine, and a dash of brown sugar on top. but it wreaks HAVOC on my sugars, as you can imagine. safest bet would be diet soda with vodka :/ boring... but the lesser of the evils haha have fun, stay safe, and have a great birthday!! <3

So for your drinking/turning 21 post, you should know that beer is just like anything else with different brands having different amounts of carbs in them. I have found that if you take insulin for what you are going to drink before actually drinking, it works better than taking it while you drink. As for the drinking vodka, experiment with apple juice and whipped cream. I wanna say that it was either 2:1 or 4:1 or 1:1 ratio of juice to vodka topped with the cream. Tastes like apple pie

Thanks =D and thanks to those who also replied other ways!
