First question: Do you think people with type 1 diabetes, especially women, who wants to shred some pounds, have the only one solution, that is to go on a low carbs diet? 2nd Question What is lacking in the type 1 online world that would bring value to people like us? I know we are all...

Hi Spiker. If you actively research on this topic a lot, there is a few questions I would love to ask you if you would not mind. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Don't tease me but the 1 slice of bread was the carbs i was eating for lunch. And even that poor slice of bread got replaced by an orange now. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

And what's if that's the trick we should be aiming at?? With a low carbs diet of around 60 - 80 grams per day for a man and working on getting the insulin almost right. Reducing the insulin so that there is no hypo during (1) the night (2) 3 hours after each meal including snacks. Sent...

You've just put new perspective into my vision about weight loss. So, you think TID in a way "promote" eating disorder that cause gain weight and that's just psychological. And some other people thinks that insulin is what turns you into the hunger machines that craves food and snacks most...

That's hilarious but so **** true. ;) I would have thought that women with our hormones and men with, well, men have only middle age crisis, right? ;) I really hope I am not offending anyone replying to this particular post! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi Spiker. Have you actually been looking for this over the net? :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I lost weight and my skin was radiant ( that's what people told me ) ;) when i switched my slice of bread to an orange for lunch in week days. I think that's a piece of evidence but from what i've been told it does not work the same way with everyone. Do you eat fruit? Sent from the...

You use a CGM full time!? Please tell me that its your personal choice. I had it only for a week and I though that would be enough until I'm pregnant. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Dear Fergus. You are a boss for being able to get off insulin. :) So if you are someone with type 1 diabetes and is on a low carb diet, you'll definitely lose weight. Therefore people struggling with their weight must have quite a poor control over their blood glucose too. Aie aie . Sent...

What does CGM? Engineer - you are like the nerd of type 1 diabetes and I mean it as a compliment. Lets say that i am learning more stuff from you than my doctor. And i do agree that ketone is not a very good companion for us. Definitely not. Wow, you guys been really helpful. Sent from the...

You are right. Its a mindset . show me a woman with T1D who is trying to lose weight and is happy. You are strong - specially in the mind. I admire that. But most if us are still people with people's problems in which among those problems is losing weight to feel confident, happy and even...

So finally, if i am right 1. less carb = less insulin Less insulin = less fat storage in our body Less fat storage = lose weight. But are you able to maintain a healthy life with almost no carbs in your life? ;) I am sorry to be asking all this personal but i really want to know...

Wow! So you are telling me that you are having problems with fructose ( rather than gluten - like me ). So what do you do in that case? Do you eat carbs at all? If I may ask you, how long have you been diagnose? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Do you think that life as type 1 diabetic is more complicated for a male or a female? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

And fruits don't have the gluten bread or pasta have. It wont really mess up your sugar if you know how much fruit you eat. I medium orange is 15 grams of carbs and one banana is 15 grams of carbs depending on which type of banana you choose. But if i eat 1 banana with my yogurt in the morning...

Yes i know, but you would intake less calories and still have the energy you need. You would be able to be full and feel satisfied and get the nutrients your body need and still lose weight. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi. Rather than cutting off the carbs in your meal to lose weight, have you ever consider replacing it with fruits? Just asking. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
