good morning.
I am fairly new here so this is my first post.
I am type 1 diabetic and have had it since i was 10 (now 42) . Since i have lived on my own after the split from my ex partner i have slowly gained weight over the 10 years. I had my annual check yesterday and i have gained another half a stone over the year.
I know where my problem is . its the fact i eat massive portions . I can eat dinners meant for 2 on my own . (bearing in mind am not huge ) as i work and on my feet all day .
My question to you guys is what foods do you suggest i eat . My current diet is very much a meat and potato diet i can have a full plate of roasties with the rest of my sunday dinner. I enjoy chips with lots of other things .
The problem i have if cutting down on the potatoes etc what do i fill my plate with so that i still feel full.
Also with the nicer weather coming in i will be trying to cycle to work once or twice a week so its not just food am willing to change.
I work in a very stressfull enviroment and fast paced which in turn can cause me low sugars regulary throughout the day .
Anyone else in the same situation and if so what did you do about it.
(i have zero motivation LOL ).
