Cozy Comparatively Catatonic Chat 🐈😻

Every diabetic is different. I've been managing mine for twenty years and only recently - with CGMs - have the doctor's realized just how different. Most diabetics can eat peanut butter, we we're told for years it was a safe snack. Once I got va CGM In learned that I shouldn't eat peanut butter. Same with alcohol. Some can have a little, some can manage beer, others shouldn't ever risk it.

I'm on oral medication (out of control) as the doctor calls it, but my A1c is 6.5

I agree, it's not always cut and dry. We all make our own choices. I know that alcohol will make my sugar rise, but I'm going to have some. Lowering my carbs has really helped, but my body does better keeping between 50-80 a day. We all handle things differently.
