Drastically improving the control of the gs in pump

Hello everyone!

First of all, I am new in the forum.I have 18 and I debuted at the 5 of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

I must also emphasize that I am now with insulin bomb, very important !!!

Not long ago I have begun to try to follow a diet, trying to make a caloric deficit, and for this my friends have recommended an application, Fitia.It is supposed to be used for Kcal count that you eat a day to be able to do the caloric deficit.It has a gigantic database and only to scan the feed bar code you can already add it as what you have eaten.The interesting thing is that I discovered another use (apart).To count the Kcal, it tells macronutrients: proteins, fats and carbohydrates!I don't know about you, but for me counting the HC on a day -to -day basis is very complicated, between what I intend to do it by eye (that you should not) and that I am eating here, there and that really the guidelines that give us (come on, those that gave me) is not that they are quite precise.Those who also carry infusion pump will know that the HC count is very important because the pump already calculates the insulin based on it (at least mine).So I am using this app not only to do the diet, it is also helping me to get incredible rank times (after a quite large lack of control).

The app has premium functions, but why are we going to fool ourselves, if you look for it as a pirate apk, you have all the complete functions.It's called fitia.

It is true that it can be a bit annoying to have to add each food, but for me it is indifferent because I was already going to diet and also because that discomfort is priceless in exchange for carrying good control.

I say it more than anything in case there is someone like me and who can serve him.I have planned the food of 2 different days and I exchange them but it is not necessary.

I guess the caloric deficit is because you have a few kilos?

If not, I don't understand.

We have to adapt insulin to our body and our way of life.If we need more insulin, the dose rises.But never stop eating.

The truth is that I stay a little flipped with so much technology, so many app to calculate the HC and insulin dose.It would be good if you tried to calculate it without electronic aid, I do not say that you stop using them, but to do your calculations I moved away and practice.So you don't depend so much on mobile phones.

I am currently in a caloric deficit process due to my own band from diabetes, obviously we should not stop eating, since we know that this is even worse and can induce ketoacidosis even at risk of diabetic ketoacidosis.

I wanted to share this since a band of for the main use of this application (which is not only used for deficits but also for volume, bodily recomposition and others) the fact that you measure HC with exact accuracy can provide greater control to all of us in relation to our disease.

It is true that the easiest way is to practice and make it calculator and looking at the nutritional values ​​of each food that is going to be ingested, however the work is greatly simplified when you do not have to calculate, but simply scan a barcode and introduce the amount to be ingested.

Come on, that each one does as you want, but I have noticed a change after using the application, because as I already commented, in the first instance it facilitates life, without having to take a calculator and make rules of 3 to know how many grams of HC there are in so many grams of product if in 100g there are such (I think you already understand me) and in the second instance it is much more precise.

In my case I use Fatsecret, my lifestyle has always been closely linked to the world of irons and calculate macros to be efficient is important and above all if it helps our diabetes.

The app has a column that are net hydrates, that is ... it takes away the part of food fiber for the real count ... Typical example that has all gone to eating some lentils and going to hiccups, because no one tells the high amount of fiber that the same ones have with respect to other legumes ....

I see it good contribution, and I think that the comments of the type .. why do you do deficit I think it is something so personal ... that you should not justify.

Greetings,

I stop measuring at 3 months, calculate by eye and I have no problems.It gives me independence.

When Media was slavery, especially because I make many strong houses.

In addition, these app do not calculate fat/protein unit well and do not take into account the metabolism of each.The stewed legumes have a different glymic load to themselves in salad, and the label only shows them in crude.It is an example.
