[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 887936, member: 53162"] Fair play for wanting to take control, absolutely no time like the present ! Yes you are healthy - you are alive, now capitalise on this, keep a diary, include your carb intakes, time eaten, doses, write it down or get a smart phone app like Glucose wiz. This will help you see patterns and figure which insulin needs adjusting. As quoted above, get into exercise, use a bike or gym but do daily exercise, set yourself a target and get Strava or a fitness app for your phone. I am an oldie at 42 but diagnosed 3 years ago, took me a year to get over the shock, but am doing everything I possibly can to stay fit, I have background retinopathy probably from the time I was undiagnosed but hope to reverse this with better control. I don't want to get any complications so eat low carb, test 6 times a day, exercise and stay tuned to this forum to pick up tips, although I feel fairly knowledgeable I still know I can learn alot more. I have learnt it takes work to achieve a level playing field with type 1 but once you get there it's easier to manage and becomes less of an obstacle to leading a normal life. Good luck my friend - we are all here to help ;) [/QUOTE]
