Hi everyone,
I’ve been told ever since I learnt to carb count that as a type 1 diabetic I AM allowed to eat sugar as long as I carb count and inject for it. That basically I can eat whatever I want, just like anyone without diabetes - of course within reason and as part of a balanced diet (but again that’s just like everyone should).
I’m in my 20’s now and my mum hasn’t been in control of my diabetes for over 10 years but she still constantly tells me I can’t eat any sugar and won’t accept that I can.
Can I please get some support from other T1 diabetics explaining that as long as I carb count and my HbA1c is good then it’s absolutely fine?!
Thanks!!
