Thanks for the advice, my DSN upped my insulin today as have been in mid to low teens and hit a six earlier, so pleased about that. She did mention me moving to basal bolus in time aswell, but I think she's breaking me in gently with the injections as I wasn't a willing customer initially...

Be this an old thread or not, I did the Cousins diet for 4 weeks upon my diagnosis purely because my GP clearly didn;t have a clue how to deal with quick onset type 1, except by saying keep my diet the same even tho he didn't know my current diet, and take these, they'll work in a few weeks but...

Thanks to everybody for the replies. I first started off by eating no carbs at all really to get my levels out of dangerous levels for the first month, just eating green salads, green juice and nuts such as almonds and hazelnuts, basically nothing above a GL of 3. This worked to bring my bg and...

The only way I can deal with chocolate is not to have it in the house cos if it is I want it. For me 'resistance is futile'.

I'm a bit worried to hate diabetes cos that'd mean I hate my life, as you say it is all consuming all day everyday. I'm newly diagnosed and am still getting to grips with it so don't want to learn to hate it although I can see the potential downsides to it. I haven't really had to worry about...

I don.t know anything about Tony Ferguson, but if you google Gabriel Cousins he has a food plan where both type 1 but mostly type 2 can be reversed with diet alone, I'm type 1 and in 3 weeks my fbs went from 19.7 to 7's. It is a bit radical and quite testing, but is not diabetes that anyway, so...

My DSN is pro carbs, she calls low carb, "starvation, like they did in the twenties", but saying that she is very nice. and has made me an appointment with the dietician this thurs to get the message across. I can't be too critical tho as they have been very quick with appointments and...

I've been told if I don't eat carbs my brain will stop working :lol:

Doctor John, Lock down.

Hi, I was only in sep told I have type 1 late onset being 42. What a shock that was, Iam now waiting for the gad antibodies results to come back, but the consultant told me i'm a text book case type 1. Am still getting to grips with the reality of what a life changer it can be, but am getting...

Hi, Am newly diagnosed type 1 and am eating 2 boiled eggs for brekkie with green juice with bitter melon, snacking on nuts, cheese salad for lunch with more juice and again a salad for dinner, i've just started with coleslaw and seems ok, with more juice and bitter melon. I;ve done this...
