That's amazing! Yea it is more work mentally but well worth it.

Hi there beautiful people, I've been meaning to make a video about why I am grateful for diabetes and appreciate so deeply the qualities I have gained by having this autoimmune disease. I wanted to share it with others because I know we can all get depressed at times or feel like the diagnosis...

I was eating a lot of fat for sure. Every time I ate the meals I would feel like my digestive processes would stop moving or it would slow down a lot and I didn't feel energized just sluggish. Maybe my body just doesn't process a lot of fat very well.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays and lots of extra willpower during this holiday season with all the goodies and treats around. [emoji322] [emoji320] [emoji1] We can do this!! We are warriors. [emoji123]

I tried low carb for around 6 months. I ate fish, eggs, little red meat, avocado, wraps that were gluten free but low carb, greens, veggies, coconut meat/oil/milk, nuts and any other carbs I would eat in small amounts with greens and avocado. What do you eat and suggest? I am always open to...

Oh that sounds like a lovely bunch of animals!! Yes a lot of our animals feel like pets as well! They just have so much personality! And yes I know it's so frightening how our agricultural industry is so messed up. But the farm owners here are amazing and are doing some groundbreaking work. We...

That's awesome. It's nice being able to slowly make a diet to fine tune to your body.

You are so right! It has been a true journey finding what foods work for me and trying different diets. I hope your appointment with the dietician goes well! We can do this! I guess just the best thing we can do is take it a day at a time. [emoji258]

Thank you for sending that video! I've done quite a bit of research myself and am currently trying out the Mastering Diabetes Program and it's a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet that is High carb and low fat and it is working so far for me. And I'm making sure I'm getting all my vitamins and...

Hi there! Thanks for the reply! I'm assuming you are low carb then? I just felt so run down on low carb. I guess everyone's body reacts to food differently.

Thank you! I really love the forum already! [emoji213]

What kind of farming do you do? [emoji272]

Hi yes we use rotational grazing practices with all our animals and farm with Biodynamic practices. Everything is done with care for soil regeneration and animal welfare. It's probably the normal way you all farm in the UK but we are just late to the game! [emoji1]

I am actually completely switching careers. Yikes! I would really like to be an actress. So I am going for it while I still can! And my brother was diagnosed as Type 1 when he was 4 years old but since I was only diagnosed at age 21 I feel very grateful I was able to have a childhood without it...

I do! I am going to be leaving my position soon but yes I've been farming only for a short while but have learned a lot.

I work on a Biodynamic farm and lead the holistic poultry program.

Yea that's what I thought as well early this year but I've been trying out the vegan HCLF diet and am honestly shocked at how stable my blood sugars are. It's really cool and I would not have believed it if I didn't try it myself. But everyone's body is different and that's what I found has...

I have recently started a Youtube channel for fun. I have started posting more videos to help other diabetics and document my T1D journey. My channel is SunnyDaysWithAlex [emoji258]. If you want to check it out that would be great! Let me know what you think. I love community and want to...
