    Tips to stay healthy with Type 1 diabetes

    YOU may be able to do that. I'm not telling anyone else what to do. The answer may be that I am just an idiot in which case OK I am an idiot.

    And you don't feel that involves a stupid amount of risk for the sake of a chocolate cookie?

    Best Diet for Type 1

    Do they ever explain anything?

    How would you Bolus for this type of meal

    Dietary fibre cannot be digested, that is what the definition of it is. All food gets mushed up by your teeth. Avocado is about 10% carbohydrate by weight but about 15% fat by weight which presumably gives it a really complicated absorbtion profile. It is therefore on my "no thanks I like...

    Tips to stay healthy with Type 1 diabetes

    I got the impression they didn't want to worry my little head with it. I do not react very well to that sort of treatment. Since then I have worked out that their idea of 15 grams per unit is a bit low especially starting from above 8. I can count and I have access to a spreadsheet program.

    Tips to stay healthy with Type 1 diabetes

    Okay mum. (My mum is far away, you guys are as good as I'm getting right now!) Appointment next week, I am going armed with I Am Serious Lawyer suit, @Mel dCP approved battle handbag, and determination to be cool, calm, professional, and UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DISLODGE until they let me stop...

    Tips to stay healthy with Type 1 diabetes

    I didn't. I used to love it, it was great. What I feel like now (or what I felt like at about 11am today) is just completely exhausted like you would if you'd been running, just without all the endorphins and good stuff. And yes normally I would go running then eat a six inch subway marinara...

    explaining what it's really like to live with Type 1

    I don't do it in public if I can possibly avoid it, who would actually want people to see that?

    How long were you on fixed doses for?

    can I have your DSN please... I'm left feeling like I need permission to breathe and pee. [Edited by moderator.]

    Tips to stay healthy with Type 1 diabetes

    If I try to go running I make it about 500 metres and feel like I need to lie down. Basically I constantly feel like I just ran a 5K. Basically it is exactly what you would expect to feel like if your body was suddenly to become unable to extract energy from food so it is not exactly shock of...

    Type 1 diabetes

    Personally I'd rather not have any knowledge of what it's like to have to do all those things, but oh well.

    How would you Bolus for this type of meal

    I used to run 5ks two or three times a week, I have basically done no exercise at all for seven months and the results are horrible :(

    How would you Bolus for this type of meal

    Is that actually a good idea?

    Tips to stay healthy with Type 1 diabetes

    I don't think anyone knows how sick I should be feeling. I think a lot of people just forget what normal feels like. It's only been seven months, I can still remember what normal feels like.

    How would you Bolus for this type of meal

    Short answer, I wouldn't, I wouldn't eat the wrap. 52g is a whole day's carbs.

    First 3 month appointment with hospital Doctor

    I think you've got to deliberately miss out some of the words for that to be true.

    Tips to stay healthy with Type 1 diabetes

    I really, really wish people would stop banging on about physical activity. I would love to. The fact that I can't absolutely kills me. It is not a choice. I have never felt this sick for this long and it is just grinding me down. It's almost starting to just be normal now but every so often I...
