Hi guys,
I have been a type 1 since i was 5 years old i'm now 23 and am at that stage where i want to get it fully under control.
When i was first diagnosed i regulary visited the hospital but my doctor was so horrible to me every time i went that it made me not want to go anymore and almost scared to go. I'm not going to lie i haven't managed it well, but recently one of my very best friends. friends died whilst in a diabetic coma and my friend told me he couldn't go through it again and that i need to start looking after myself and what he said really hit home. My point is I have no where to start for the first 10 years of my condition i was shouted and yelled at that i've never really had any understanding of how to treat it.
Do i need a low carb/high carb diet. All i seem to no is sugar is a no go!
Any advice will be gratefully received.
Thanks
