Thank you! [emoji5] Yeah I completely understand that different things work for different people but I was asking for support and to hear from people that like me do have some sugar in their diet and cope fine with it. The last thing I want is for people to lecture me or tell me I’m in the wrong...

I’ve very recently recovered from anorexia so eating carbs is very much encouraged for me and something I’ve only recently been able to start doing again.

Wow no need to be so patronising. Or why you’d find any of this “hilarious”. I very rarely eat sugar but I like to have it as a treat now and again and my point was that just like anyone that isn’t diabetic, T1’s can eat sugar. As long as it’s part of a balanced diet it’s okay. If I eat sugar...

Hi, No she’s definitely not diabetic. And any time I eat any type of carbs whether it be pasta or sweets for example as long as I inject correctly my blood sugars are always within range. She just can’t seem to understand or appreciate that diabetes doesn’t have to mean you have a restricted...

Hi everyone, I’ve been told ever since I learnt to carb count that as a type 1 diabetic I AM allowed to eat sugar as long as I carb count and inject for it. That basically I can eat whatever I want, just like anyone without diabetes - of course within reason and as part of a balanced diet (but...

Hi thanks for your reply! I’ve had coeliac Disease since I was 8 - so 14 (nearly 15) years and have had a completely gluten free diet ever since. I started getting bad migraines about 6 or 7 years ago (roughly age 16) and then got diagnosed with fibromyalgia (due to a whole range of different...

Hi, Just wanted to know if anyone else suffers from as many different things as I do? I know that Diabetes goes hand in hand with so many other conditions, so I understand it’s common to have one or two other things but I just seem to have everything wrong with me! I’d just like to know if...
