Hello group, I am brand-spanking new to the forum and to the Diabetes journey. I have suspected for 5 or 6 years that I might have it but due to other very time consuming demands, I could not afford the time to have it checked out. Symptoms such as a dry mouth, frequent urination and the other...

Hey everyone! I took a break from the forums here because I realized I was being a bit of a ******** and close minded which wasn't cool... So I'm truly sorry for that if it effected you. With that said I've gone through a bunch of type 1 diabetes related books and learnt a lot. I didn't realize...

They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. It seems to me that T1 is doing the same thing over and over again and getting totally different results. Thoughts?

I was told I was fine with my first A1C of 5.7. I did my research and found this is pre-diabetic level. I decided to take action and hired a nutritionist. 5 months later I got my second A1C of 6.0. Decided not to follow my nutritionist advice anymore and started my own diet... mainly fresh...

I am not sure if you have seen this video... It’s a talk by a company in Israel that has done research and found that glucose response depends on an individual’s microbiome and can be predicted with a sample. Now, I found a contact for this company in Israel that has done this exciting...

This is my first post (so excuse the length) but wanted to post my journey of "taking back control" as I never come across postings about long term diabetics of 10 years plus (on meds for years) turning their situations around and becoming med free and if there are any they appear hidden.. It...

Frequently, when my glucose levels are out of control, I have really unusual dreams. I recently dreamed of being at a depot where old clothes were collected for various purposes. I am standing outside a wire mesh fence, and there is a guard dog behind it. I notice that its right front leg has...
