I've been diagnosed as type 1 since 16. Am now in my mid 30s and have found out I have PCOS, which you're born with. But according to what I can read, PCOS normally leads to type 2 diabetes...not type 1. I have always had a problem with my weight, but at the time of diagnosis I had lost a bit...

Yes, I do. It's a good site to hear other stories but my main problem is knowing how to adjust the diet to me and how I react to insulin. I have a very outdated diabetes education, and I wonder if its a trial and error thing now (and due to the damage my kidneys have, I am a little reluctant to...

I have already tried that route. I get no answer...even as a member many of my mails to them are ignored. I have tried looking for my answer there but now I use it for inspo for certain meals.

Copenhagen. Danish docs are a little slow (ahem) in the uptake. Took them 6 months to find and treat kidney stones. Went from infection to infection before someone decided to do a scan and lo and behold I had 4 tiny stones. The discussion went from kidney dysfunction to full-on kidney failure...

@kitedoc thank you! Well, I'm completely new to the Diabetes Solution and am finding it very hard to comprehend as much of it is detail. I dont know my ratios as none of my docs really believe in this way of treating T1. So where do I actually start? Is the 30g of carbs including the protein...

Thank you! I have been trying to find the range of bloods but have a hard time finding it and have only just started the book. Am anxious as it might be too late for some of my complications but I want to try. As a foodie, I think it might be hard to reach 4.4 - 4.7 all the time. Are there any...

Yes I am also a follower of dietdoctor.com but have been told by Andreas Eenfeldt (the lead doc on that site) that I should not try 20g or less as it can be dangerous for T1s. Nonetheless, a keto meal here or there does wonders I feel. However, I wonder if more fat than protein is sensible for...

That's what I'll try. But forgive me if Iam mistaken, isn't it 4.8 on average and up to 6.7 mmol/L 2 hours after a meal? I have at least had that impression from what I have read on TypeOneGrit and other Bernstein forums, but perhaps I'm mistaken? Thanks for the comment - I'll give it a try and...

Thank yoi so much for your reply. However, the last five years have gone by with me trying to talk my doctors into low carb. I even showed an HbA1c of about 4.9% (which was a lot better than previous results with their diet and prescriptions) and they still shook their heads. Their method of...

Hi everyone, I've been looking into Dr. Bernstein's way to control your BGs. Have a few complications after having T1 for 17 years and not receiving proper information as to how to actually live well with it. So I'm trying to see if I can at least relieve my body of the stress my dieticians...

Hi! I have the same problem. So I have just started on what they call the keto diet. It's a lifestyle based on eating real food and fats. It's helped to keep my bloods down and it's supposed to help you burn fat so you lose weight. I have only started but my bloods are more stable and I am on...

Hello, I'm on the ketogenic diet, which I find is great in helping me control my bloods and stops me from over eating during meals. I've kept a close eye on my bloods and they are fine, ranging from 5-9 but when I test my ketones I get a reading of 2.3 mmol/L - which is high. Since they say...

Thank you all for replying to my question. @azure, my last HbA1C was 9.5 so still too high. I live in Denmark so we dont have the same system of care. Although I have a nurse she rarely sees me and seldom has much different to say other than 'you should really try more'. For years I have been...

Hello there... I've had T1 for over 16 years now...never really had the best of grips on it, though lately I have been better at remembering and shrugging off the weight gain that comes with taking insulin on a daily basis. Throughout my teens and early 20s, weight was always important to me...
