Hi there, I can totally understand how you feel. I too am a full-time Mum with Type 1. I wasn't going to have a child due to my diabetes, but she's the best thing that has ever happened to me. I thought about what I would do at home having a hypo and my Dad suggested that I get a...

Thanks, I really appreciate the comments. Planned treats is a very good idea as I think that I rebel when I begin a diet regime - if I have the option of treats I wont feel so deprived. Best Julia

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I have ordered the book on Amazon - will have good read when it comes. I think that I need to stop treatin myself at weekends - just a silly habit that gets me off focus. When I am premenstrul I find it so hard. Just got to try again I guess. Best, Julia :D

Hi, I have posted before after trying low carb a few times. I seem fine for a week or so but then I go mad and have a carb binge. My insulin sensitivity is much worse than it was now and I cannot tolerate any carbs at all. I have put on a stone during this time and have never taken so...

Hi there, Back on wagon today though bs are horrendous still. Hubby has told me not to buy any treat for him anymore - i fee guilty for depriving him but perhaps that is so i can have treats too! :roll: Thanks for th support, Julia x

Hi thanks for the replies, Going to get back on it tomorrow and break the cycle - thanks for motivating me x

Hi Sue, I have the problem of my husband being a sugar junkie - he does not have diabetes and wont give it up.

Hi, I have been doing fairly well low carbing an then 4 weeks into it I had a biscuit and that was it for me. The past couple of days have gorged on sugary things with shocking levels as a result. I feel so down and stupid. :oops: Anyone got any advice? Thanks, Julia x

Hi there, I have been low carbing for a month now and despite having flu my levels have been great. My only problem is the weight gain. As it has come on suddenly - almost 10 lb now I think it is water retention. Looking up on google lots of type 1 seem to suffer from this and...

Hi there! I am 5 ft 4 and bmi around 20 ish I think! I don't feel more muscular just a bit of a bloater in skin tight jeans at the mo! What with all the buying of low carb foods cant afford to get a new wardrobe too! :lol:

Hi there, I have been low carbing for two weeks now and put on 8 lb!!! I am below 40 g of carb a day and not eating a giant amount of protein just normal portion size. My insulin requirements have dipped by a third and readings great apart from a few hypos i have treated with a...

Hi there, that's good news as I am really enjoying it a the moment. I have tried and failed a few times but I am determined to stick with it this time. What do you use if you go low? is lucozade still appropriate or is there a better alternative? Thanks, Julia

Hi there, I have had really good blood results since being low carb - under 40g per day for over a week now. Although I am thrilled with my results my clothes feel a bit tighter! Can you put on weight with this regime or am i doing something wrong? My insulin requirements ave...

I like the poem - good to keep a sense of humour. Dont know where I'd be without mine! Thanks for cheering me up x

Hi, I was wondering if anymone could help me. I have been trying to do low carb properly each Monday for the past year, but by Wednesday I am craving sugar and rubbish! I know that this is really bad for me but I feel that i have got stuck in this rut of doing it and can't control...
