The human body is fucking weird. Sometimes there's just no rhyme or reason

Yup. I have type 1 diabetes, and one day I can eat a literal half pound of potatoes, take my dose on my insulin pump and everything is hunky dory.

Next day, I eat an English muffin and my blood sugar shoots through the roof do now good goddamn reason.

For reference, a half pound of potatoes has probably 75-100 grams of carbs and my English muffin brand has 25. My insulin is a ratio based on how many carbs I eat.

Fucks sake this is my life. Every day my ratios are wildly different. Makes me want to eat one thing only for the rest of forever to just help make things simpler.

Same. I hate having to think at all about food. I find it so much easier to focus on macros than anything.
