How long have you had T1

I've had it two and a half years and I too don't believe in life-expectancy numbers at all. A type one may not even die from a diabetes related...

Is there any science behind the claim that fat is the enemy (not carbs)?

I have found the conflicting information about fat, low carb and vegetarianism frustrating but on the positive side, it has made me focus on my...

Very low blood sugar but still OK

I wonder if it's because when your blood sugar is low, your body and brain use the energy from fat and protein? I've only been diagnosed a year...
