Thank you. I will ponder over your advice and see where it takes me. There is nothing like the wisdom of someone who has been there and done that. Much appreciated.

Just take it one day or one meal at a time. Go with what your blood sugar tells you two hours after eating. Your nurse can't argue with stable numbers. You will find what works for you. Take small steps. Try to do something nice that takes you away from thinking about diabetes. I am a newbie...

Hi I lost a, lot of weight after diagnosis was thin to start with. Then ate what I wanted and put weight back on eating hospital food. I have dairy and wheat intolerances and chronic acid reflux so had to listen to my body when I got home. I started a low carb diet with meat, veg, eggs, roasted...

Thank you. Such good advice. I am the interviewee and it's something very close to my heart that I have been working on for a couple of years. Will try the suggestions. They are very useful. It's having these goals that made me well and keeps me going. Future decisions need to consider health...

Yes. I must be Lada. Still getting used to it all. Good to hear it gets easier!! Have read if you keep low carb after T1-diagnosis some folk kept some of their pancreas function. I guess everyone is different. I take insulin with meals but no background one needed for honeymoon period. Low carb...

That does help! Thanks. So good to know what to eat. Am thin and have GERD. Trying to manage keeping weight up and not have reflux. My HB was off the chart in hospital but 53 in Jan. Next test is June. Apparently I am in the honeymoon period. Am giving 1'5 units of fiasp with meals and was taken...

Thanks for your suggestions. Much appreciated.

Thank you so much for your support. Means a lot.

I am totally get how you are feeling. It's so overwhelming. Thanks for your support. Am so grateful for the freestyle libre cgm. Wouldn't have the confidence to go and about without it. Hope things get easier for you too.

Thanks. It was a bit of a shock :-) Hopefully it all keeps going well.

Thanks so much. Was looking at your H scores - motivates me to stick to low carbing. I will dance. Once tried to dance a high bg down. Art helps when it all gets too much. Great advice much appreciated!

Hi Was diagnosed on my birthday last October when I went into hospital in a diabetic coma. Pretty traumatic - life support, kidney failure, couldn't walk or talk. It's a few months on now and I am getting back into life. People wouldn't know anything was wrong with me if they passed me on the...

Brilliant! New to low carb and looking for good options.

@Xal Meant to say. I have veggie soup or an omelete for breakfast, roast chicken salad, pork chops roasted kale half a corn cob, lunch / dinner is meat and lots of veggies, snacks are dairy free cheese and cucumber, toasted nuts, chickpeas lettuce tomato. I put olive oil apple cider vinegar...

@Xal Recently changed my diet and bg is 5 - 8'6 mmol most of the time. No hypos :-) but goes up to 12mmol during the night or after meals. This rise only happens when I eat wholemeal toast before bed and certain foods like sweetcorn or lentils. With the help of my diabetic nurse to reduce my...

Thanks. Had Gerd before diabetes. Got some stomach bugs travelling. I think they are all linked. Bg was low now going high. Honeymoon period is not easy. Off basal and bolus has been reintroduced as pancreas is temperamental meal by meal day by day. Have given in to gerd medication. It's exhausting.

Thanks. I don't eat many fatty foods. When I do I will try yoghurt.

Glad you posted. I am a newbie of 4mths too who also went into a type 1 diagnosis through a diabetic coma. I found lots of eating avoided hypos especially wholemeal food. Eating wholemeal toast before bed helped eliminate night time lows. During the day I ate every 2 hrs only fruit - berries...

Diagnosed almost 4mths with type 1 at 47. Was giving insulin but pancreas is now producing some insulin. Eating low carb. Blood glucose was low on insulin with frequent hypos but now it's 10-14 without it. Added complication of GERD so wheat dairy sugar is best avoided plus other food triggers...
