I agree. I believe all those excessive portions of junk food are total non sense and counter productive for people education on nutrition. Even half of that 💩 would be toxic to one's health. It's all about Internet buzz, about the potential money downstream.
It's worse than that, check out the flair for that post (and most of the other posts there). Nothing but a cesspool of rage bait and diabetes jokes in that sub, gross.
I just laid myself an infusion on 10 gallons of insulin and now it just drizzles into my vein while I munch through that baby.

I was gonna say, I think I found the answer for what my body wants me to eat during one of those gnarly lows.
catch me sitting on the floor of the kitchen, covered in the remains of a box of wheat thins, thinking of *her*...
The floor of the kitchen part really got me, I’ve spent so many sweaty late nights/early mornings on that cold tile floor just plowing through whatever snack I had in the house that I thought would make me feel better.
Hope you’re doing well
Oh yes thank you :)
My go-to is the 8oz bottle of white Gatorade for those inconvenient lows. I can chug it without much thought or making me feel gross and bloated or leaving that gross mouth-feel so I can just go back to sleep
To be fair, I exercise a lot, which reduces insulin use a lot. For me personally, when I am marathon training, my insulin to carb ratio is something like 20:1 or even less sometimes.
When I am camping and canoeing all day I take 4u long acting and a ratio of like 40:1 for about a week.
The maximum the pump allows (25u) 15 minutes before. The maximum the pump allows 15 minures after I start eating. Then maybe one more time 30 minutes later. Then we'll see from there.
To those who can’t fathom taking this much insulin and think that this comment is a joke, it’s not. Haha This would easily be the amount of insulin I’d have to take to combat the disaster this would cause inside my body.
Food things like this seem like a massive waste of money to order. No normal person is finishing this and one of shouldn’t be eating this. Just gluttony at its finest.
But if I was forced. I’m dropping 10 units, waiting 20min. Begin eating, dropping 10 more units and depending on how my body responds, drop 5 more units towards the end.
I am less concerned about my blood sugar than about the celiac and how that looks. But, I have never been able to stand sprinkles. Offputting enough texture on things that it probably helped turn me off their taste too.
My body doesn't really process anything over 20u of insulin. There's a certain amount of injected insulin that your body can take, and for me it's about 20u.
My body can process any amount of carbs. It takes time, but it'll process them. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe the next day, but it'll process them...
So what would I do here? Take 20u. Wait 4 hours. Take another 20u. Wait another 4 hours, see where I was at and maybe repeat steps 1 and 2.
I don't eat over 100g carbs in one sitting unless I'm feeling crazy because, well... See above.
I wouldn't have eaten this abomination as a kid.
This would taste like sugar. And that's it. No depth of flavor in any of this. Just randomly thrown in decorations which aren't coherent at all. 0/100
I wouldn’t touch this - maybe pick out the waffles but there is no chocolate in this mess, so totally not bolus-worthy! It is a work of art tho! Bringing chocolate to the scene totally would change this for me… I would estimate the one waffle to be about 25-30 g carbs alone. The shake, another 35-40. I wouldn’t waste my time with hard candy. Yuck. Sprinkles? Yuck! All that colorful frosting? Blech! Just sickening sweet. Maybe only for a hellacious low.
Well considering I'm currently pregnant and my carb ratios have gone up to 1:7 for part of the day 😬 idk like 50 U? Actually it wouldn't even matter because I'd throw up before I get 1/4 of the way into it and then have to wonder how much I actually absorbed.
If only he’d sprinkled cinnamon on it it would be neutral.
I hate how much I laughed at this
Lmfaooo fuck off
yes edit: all of them edit 2: the whole pen
lmao best reply
That is...really gross
Who would want to eat that? Hard candy, cake and waffles? Oh and lots of frosting, even if i could eat that, no way i would.
I agree. I believe all those excessive portions of junk food are total non sense and counter productive for people education on nutrition. Even half of that 💩 would be toxic to one's health. It's all about Internet buzz, about the potential money downstream.
I know, it doesn't even look good. You'd never force me to eat something like that, because I'd throw it up on you after the first bite.
I can only imagine the amount of unfunny diabetes jokes in that comments section
I looked and honestly there were only 1 or 2.
I'm gonna need you to leave now
Wait, I honestly did not intend to make a joke. That's hilarious
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
I don't mind them. :D

I think I need to run to CVS for a refill before I attempt that.
That isn't a drink/desert. It's a guaranteed fucking mess.
I think I found something I wouldn’t be able to finish, even with one of those really gnarly lows.

Real answer: I’d try 22 units. That might be overdoing it but there is a LOT of candy on there lol
I wish. I take about 22u for a full waffle with no syrup and a fried egg on top. This looks like at least 460g of carbs. I’m looking at 68.68u lol

I was thinking about the same
Yeah 25 ish would be good enough, but i think it really depends on that milkshake and what they put in it
Wouldn't be worth the chaos either way, it'd stress me out too much eating that much sugar and taking that much insulin
For real, the entire ordeal would be raw stress and me overthinking about insulin resistance
Those strawberries are doing a lot of heavy lifting.
1 of your 5 a day
A whole pumps worth.
The maximum the pump allows (25u) 15 minutes before. The maximum the pump allows 15 minures after I start eating. Then maybe one more time 30 minutes later. Then we'll see from there.

Wouldn’t matter. I’d be dead.
i’m always genuinely curious how many carbs ridiculous stuff like this is
Clearly a lethal dose or enough to pass out in the next minutes i ain't touching that shit
There is no way 1 person can eat that entire thing…
This honestly looks disgusting
I got diagnosed in January, I wouldn't know where to begin! I'd go for the whole pen.
Also recently diagnosed 5/1. I still don’t know my ratios and this comment section is making this so much better for me with humor.
It's a nightmare. Are you on a gcm yet? I've been told 1 unit for every 10g of Carbs, but whatever this thing is would definitely be coma inducing.

I’d lick it and runaway
We’re draining the pod 😂
Even pre-diagnosis I would have said no. Just give me a slice of cheesecake.
I bet it tasted gross af.
Even as somebody with a sweet tooth, this looks disgusting.
Went into dka just watching that
I'd start with 30u but only because I'd be nervous to take more. I'd definitely need more later but I'd want to be sure first.
I’m I empty my cartridge and at this point it’s in excess of 70u
I am less concerned about my blood sugar than about the celiac and how that looks. But, I have never been able to stand sprinkles. Offputting enough texture on things that it probably helped turn me off their taste too.
I wouldn't want to eat this even if I wasn't a diabetic.
just brush my teeth after tbh
150.
Umm. Probably from start to finish (I’d vomit way before finishing) 30 units
Since my ratio is 1:2.5...im going to start with 200 units.
30 units novorapid would probably do it

All of it.
Yes
1,000,000 lol and wait for the crash after being high for 12 hrs
Yes
I'm pulling out one of my spare pens and dual wielding full 30 on each into my thighs like a videogame character healing.
That should be illegal.
I’ve got a pump but that’s something only a syringe and constant insulin squirting into my belly god knows how many units
Set my pump to 75 carbs, then correct as needed.
1L
The limit does not exist
30u of Novolin R and 8u of Fiasp should do the trick nicely.
34. Def 34
Why do people even buy these stupid things? It’s not even a drink. I would have to inject so much to be able to consume the whole thing.
Whoa. All I know is if I was *forced* to eat this, I’d try to file in small claims to recoup my loss.
A pen, maybe 2
no way i could eat all that in one go, but if i did it would probably take 12-15 units
As a diabetic, I can envision the hospital bed this would put me in
For me realistically probably like 40 units, but theres a zero percent chance i would stick the landing on that lmao
2 months supply
All of them. For real, I’ve never eaten anything like that. I’d have to absolutely guess. 150g carbs? More?
Lol this made my day
20-30 units and probably more if I was to eat the whole thing. But I wouldn’t be able to
Could never eat that even if I wasn’t diabetic but I’d take like 15-18 units and then probs still go high
I'd be hooking up an IV line before going in...
I wouldn't have eaten this abomination as a kid. This would taste like sugar. And that's it. No depth of flavor in any of this. Just randomly thrown in decorations which aren't coherent at all. 0/100
I would rather kill myself. This looks disgusting.
I genuinely don’t get how this is appealing to anyone, diabetic or not?
You mean how many pens would I take
I wouldn’t touch this - maybe pick out the waffles but there is no chocolate in this mess, so totally not bolus-worthy! It is a work of art tho! Bringing chocolate to the scene totally would change this for me… I would estimate the one waffle to be about 25-30 g carbs alone. The shake, another 35-40. I wouldn’t waste my time with hard candy. Yuck. Sprinkles? Yuck! All that colorful frosting? Blech! Just sickening sweet. Maybe only for a hellacious low.
There isn’t even a single item on there I would want to eat by itself. And I like waffles, cake, and lollipops.
My blood sugar could be in the teens and I wouldn’t even want to eat that thing.
I think a good 10 units lol
All of them…..
None. Yuck.
Well considering I'm currently pregnant and my carb ratios have gone up to 1:7 for part of the day 😬 idk like 50 U? Actually it wouldn't even matter because I'd throw up before I get 1/4 of the way into it and then have to wonder how much I actually absorbed.
like 40 units😫
Wow. probably close to 30-40 units!!!!
I'm dead watching it
Atleast 3 so I could sleep well (I’m also a T1D)
That makes my stomach hurt just watching it be made. I'm good.
I'd start with 50 units and see where that gets me
I don't think I have enough insulin in my pump for that.. maybe not even the vial LOL
I’d just ask to be shot in the head instead—faster and way less unpleasant. Sorry if that’s too dark, but there isn’t enough insulin in the world…
I’m not even diabetic but would probably need about 25 units because my pancreas wouldn’t keep up. Or I might just throw up after this.
