Yep it's a mine field the lot of it! Frustrating as hell, different opinions every where on diet, diabetes, cholesterol! We have to try to inform ourselves and find doctors we trust who are not closed minded. It's not easy, but when it comes to food, no one can argue against real foods that...

I think LC low fat would be very hard. Like others have mentioned it will probably leave you feeling unsatisfied and also probably heighten the carb cravings. Higher fat certainly helps reduce the carb cravings. While I am biased because I choose high fat with low carb , the more I really think...

Hi @Lili2209 , I too was diagnosed at the same age as you just over 3 years ago! I get what you are saying, it is frustrating! However, what helped me was to accept it, and make the choice to look after my health for the short term and long term for me and also my family. Since then I have...

Yes I have it and I think all diabetics T1 or T2 should have it. For me it's covers almost everything, except maybe more information for kids with T1. I look at it as a reference or instruction manual , it's a very long book and definitely not an easy read. It is so great though to refer to...

Real Madrid defender Nacho T1 diabetes, I think this is very impressive. Of course he no doubt has the best medical care out there I imagine, but still not easy. http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2440129.html

If my bs is high, I can flip at the smallest thing! Even certain noises when high will infuriate me. I have found best way to manage is keep the bs in normal ranges 4-6 mmol/l and then I don't experience these emotions as much. LC is the only way I have found this possible in my experience. Also...

More protein - oily fish like mackerel, sardines, eggs, beef, lamb, chicken More good fats mono and sat - add avocados and Macao nuts to your meals, olive oil, coco oil, some hard cheeses if you tolerate dairy well, make your own mayonaisse with olive oil and free range eggs, add this to your...

Dr. Bernstein mentioned in one of his videos that in his 40+ years of practice and seeing diabetic patients, he only ever had two diabetic patients who did not also suffer from psoriasis! He also tried to raise the link I believe with the psoriasis association in America but they were not...

As a T1 with still some exogenous insulin, I follow a low carb lifestyle. My levels typically remain in 4.0 - 7.0 mmol/l almost always, with more time in the 4's and 5's than 6-7. I don't worry too much about counting carbs, I just avoid all starchy veg (occasionally eat small amounts of...

5.5% last reading, between 5.3% and 5.8% over past three years since DX. Initially 10.1% when diagnosed. Following LC, mostly Dr. Bernstein's guidelines. I still have some endogenous insulin production, so with LC and regulary exercise, my injected insulin requirements are very low. My goal...

Hi @Mongolia Over Easter I made a low carb sorbet / mousse ice cream. I used: 1 ripe avocado 3 - 4 Tbsp Greek unsweetened natural yogurt 3 Tbsp of full fat cream 100g or so frozen berries, raspberries are great and v low carb A dash of vanilla powder 1 tbsp of sweetener of choice, I used Dr...

Hi, @Caoimbhe123, also new to this forum but dx 3+ yrs T1 like yourself also in 20s, dx at 28. My experience so far, read as much as you can to help understand the condition, impacts of different foods on BS, impacts of exercise, impact of stress, impact of things on which you have no control...

In my own experience as T1 with some beta cell function left like you, it took me 2+ yrs to kick the fake food cravings! It's not easy, but it's definitely needed and it really makes a difference now and hopefully long into the future. Also, if you need more motivation I believe if you stabilize...
