I live in Belfast with my partner and our two cats. Diagnosed when I was 13 years old as a type 1. Never had DKA (touch wood) but have become insulin resistant to Humalin mix insulins in the past. Currently on Novorapid and Lantus while using the DAFNE approach to carbs. I have found it to be a real eye opener and would recommend it to all type 1's. :) Also, I have always struggled with my weight so its a constant battle with eating right, enough carbs, exercise and not falling off the high wire! Grr argh!
