Luckily I love cycling, but haven't touched my bicycle for a long time. I'm still at the point where I'm trying to make myself more confident to go longer distances without relying on help from others if I go low. It's difficult, but I'm making my diet more strict as we speak. Thanks you for the...

Thank you! It seems like one has to completely relearn managing his/her diabetes when starting to exercise. Like you either exercise daily on a routine, at the same times and same ways, or don't exercise at all, nothing inbetween. I can imagine it is stressful to "re-learn" managing your blood...

Thank you so much! Yes, I do plan to work my way up there. I will start with walking and some pushups until I gain some strentgh, then planned to lift some weights later on.

I want to know how far can you push your body, and whether exercise can become a friend or foe? My wife has given me a second chance, and I don't want to fail her. The problem is that my diabetes is still considered fresh by some (1 year), but it made things a thousand times more difficult...

Very nice suggestions, thank you! I will definetly check the berries for mold. :cool:

Yes, I do carb counting and yes, the fruits were fresh. Always bought at the local market when it was fresh, but they ran out of strawberries and I had to switch to different kind of berries. The weird thing is that the current mixture of berries sometimes have a weird taste..... like a bug...

I have switched my in-between snack (bowl of strawberries) to a bowl of berries, the exact mixture you see on the picture of the included link. Since then I started to show symptoms of DKA and my glucose increased by 2-3 points each day. It was the exact same amount in gramms as the...

Thank you! My diabetic doc told me to inject and wait 20 minutes to eat, so I'm doing just that. I tried 10 units, I tried 4 units etc. but my sugar after breakfast always stays at 200-220. Should I increase time with 5-10 minutes everyday and see if it helps? So tomorrow I could try 25 minutes...

Thanks for the reply. I was diagnosed T1D last year at the age of 26. Well, actually the doctor still didn't say which type, but classified me as "likely type 1". I had lots of hypos even 10 years before diagnosis. As a child I often starved myself and had days where I lived off on a single...

Thank you! I'm still learning a lot. I usually wake up to 5.5 - 7.0, give myself 8 units of insulin and eat 1 medium and 1 small sandwhiches for breakfast (whole wheat bread). My blood sugar goes up to 10-11 after an hour and a half, but two and a half hours later I suddenly get hypo and often...

I wanted to ask if improving your liver functions would affect your blood sugar in a positive way? For example: you have high cholesterol and thus benign fatty liver, but not clinically relevant yet so your doctor shrugs it off. Would "tuning" up your liver through lifestyle and diet give you...

Exact same thing is happening to me. I'm just 3 years older than you. Basically the prisoner of my own home whereas a few years ago I was travelling the world and living life to the fullest. If only researchers would put as much emphasis onto treating/preventing hypos as treating hypers, then...

Could this be thyroid related? I don't have T1D history in the family, but my mother got diagnosed with hypothyroidism 2 years ago.

Hi Grant! Yes, there isn't an AC in my car. I chased my friends away for siding with a wife who turned my family and loved ones against me (narcissistic). Dad dead of pancreatic cancer. Mother gives excuses. I feel really alone in this. I could try and beg on my knees for an antibiotic at the...

I wish to know how could someone deal with heat intolerance? I know that not all of us are the same. I'm young and not overweight, but would consider my heat intolerance severe. Been having a tooth abscess for a long time now because of bad dental work, and in the last month there were no weeks...
