I understand that for T2 is better to lose weight so that they have to feed less cells with insuline. Do the same benefits apply to T1? As first thought, I would imagine that the same amount of sugar is worse for your body if you are a small person... But probably I'm missing something. Could...

Hello everyone. Since I discovered I'm diabetic I started eating very controlled avoiding carbs, and my BS has improved very much. I actually don't use any insulin. Sometimes I eat carbs but I noticed that my values don't go too high. Yesterday I ate an entire Pizza and my freestyle libre stayed...

Hello everyone, I would like to import my data into mysugr app, but I have to use a file from the freestyle libre or medtronic. Since I don't know the file format, could someone please post a txt export file from the freestyle libre or a csv export file from Medtronic Carelink (mg/dl units were...

I try to stay away from carbs, but sometimes I still eat some sweets, milk chocolate for example. Never was in hyper, even with chocolate. I have been only twice very high, over 200mg/dl and that's when i ate white bread. How is that possible? I mean, chocolate is almost pure sugar!

I'm not doing insulin from 3 days, as accorded with my doctor. Today I felt like I was going to collapse. Ultra tired. I don't know if this is diabetes related, but my BS was normal, 117mg/dl. I feel very unwell now. Did anyone have similar experiences?

Since I changed my lifestyle I started gaining weight. +3kg in 2 Weeks. I'm on low carb, but eating much more as before. If I eat less I fear low blood sugar, and I am just doing small amounts of insuline. I'm always hungry by the way. What should I eat? I'm doing 2u at dinner and 6 Lantus...

Hi there. I'm on insuline from about 10 days after being diagnosed as type 1, but I think my Pancreas still works. I'm doing so small amounts of insuline. 6u Lantus before bedtime and 2u fast insuline before dinner and my values are pretty good (70-140mg/dl). Sometimes eating carbs too. I'm not...

Hi everyone. I started drinking unsweetened Almond milk, which I like very much, and has practically the effect of water on my glucose. Now the question: where do I get big amounts of calcium? I need theoretically 1000mg per day on average to avoid future development of Osteoporosis. Any ideas?

A friend of my father used to inject insuline through his trousers in his thigh, for example at the restaurant, and no one ever noticed it. Someone here ever practiced something like that? Of course the sterility of the needle gets lost...

It was just 3 days ago. The doctor diagnosed me type 1 and was explaining me how I had to live from now on. Testing blood, one shot insuline per meal, one before bedtime. I was wanting to cry in front of him. The worst and most sad moment was when he told me to choose the colors of the insuline...

I started eating less carbs since diagnosed the last 3 weeks. From time to time I used to measure my waist. In this period I have no time for sports just walking around because of my job. Lost 3cm waist but no weight. A hole less on the belt. Has anyone an explanation ? Did I build muscles in...

Hi everyone. In the last weeks I've notice very dry skin on my right hand. Didn't care much, but tonight it started bleeding a bit between 2 fingers. I'm going to tell to my doctor tomorrow. For now using a body lotion on the hand. Did someone have similar issues? I have read that this might be...

Since I still don't know what type of diabetes I have, I think this is the best section where I can write. I am (nearly) 32y old and was diagnosed about 10 days ago. I started drinking very much water and still I was thirsty, so one day I decided to measure my blood sugar. Fortunately I had a...

Hello people, I'm really scared and sad, waiting for diagnosis result but It seems I'm very probably type 1. I'm controlling diabetes with diet right now, staying between 85-140 mg/dl. In case of type 1 does Metformin help controlling glucose in any way? If possible I would like for the first...

Greetings, I'm new here, and I hope I can learn how to treat diabetes with your help. I've been diagnosed last week but I still don't know if Type 1 or 2. Hopefully Type 2 since I prefer Metformin, but my doctor say is that I am probably type 1 since I am just 32 y old and not fat. In the...
