Hi all, hope everyone's doing well and kicking butt. I'm a fairly newly diagnosed diabetic and wanna start working out but I guess fear has been holding me back. Anybody wanna share suggestions regarding how you keep or keep backup supplies/prevent hypos/manage food and fitness? Really appreciated!

Hi there! I got diagnosed with t1d about 3 months or so ago and I'm glad that I'm much more aware and calm now. I thought I was doing good but I've slipped into bad eating habits again, not sugar but junk food and stuff and while I was browsing I figured and realized that I'd gone completely in...

Hi there! I got diagnosed with T1D in May, I'm on a restricted diet (no rice, potatoes, sweets etc). Well I dropped a ton of weight and now I'm starting to gain it back pretty quickly and I'm concerned about my sugar levels fluctuating too much if I start eating to lose weight, I'm also not sure...

Agreed!!

Thank you! Oh yes I try to learn as much as I can before I get overloaded with info. Thank you for the recommendation and support. This is a great community and it warms my heart that people are so welcoming, supportive and kind here!

Oh yes fear does drive me! Thank you for the kind words!

Ah I'm not sure since I dont completely understand it yet, but I think so. Oh I dont live in the UK (im sorry if thats frowned upon here since I just joined without much understanding [emoji28]) so no NHS. But yes I've heard about carb counting and learning how to dose, hopefully I'll be...

It is a lot of information definitely, but slowly I'm learning. Oh yes I definitely keep all those things in mind! Mg fluctuation in eating wasnt that out of control though, I'm fear risks so I dont take any. I definitely stay in touch with my team. Also I've made this little hypo kit I carry...

Ah I cant imagine how difficult it must've been before and the amount of hardwork and patience you would've had to endure to maintain a good lifestyle. I'm definitely grateful to be able to have these resources!! My healthy diet is basically home made food, low carb fruits and veggies, no sugar...

I have stopped worrying as much thankfully and have gotten back on track so I guess that gives me peace of mind. I am, this is a really good comforting ans supporting community, thank you!!

Yeah, I guess fear mixed with impatience really does get the best of me some times. Hopefully my blood sugar level comes down from the initial high range soon and becomes consistent. I actually feel pretty good, I've started focusing more on exercise(walking) like my team told me to and I've...

Ah yes that's what I plan to do now! Slow and steady. Thank you!!

This group really is a big support!

Ah that makes sense, I guess my ups and downs right now have a lot of effect on me since I'm learning new things everyday. For now my doc has me on a fixed Insulin dose for a about a month more since my sugars have been high for a long time. Hopefully, I will be learning the dosing soon enough...

Hi everybody, I'm a T1D diagnosed a month ago, blood sugars are still high so I'm on a fixed dose of insulin injections daily. Well recently I've been struggling with sticking to my healthy diet, I've also been busy the past 2 weeks so I've monitored my blood sugar very less which is very...

Hi all! I got diagnosed with T1 about a month and a half ago and since my blood sugar is so high I'm on 30 units of Apidra Solostar on the daily. Since about 3 weeks I've noticed an immense amount of hair loss and I'm concerned and worried. Is this normal for a beginner? I'd there a solution...

Thank you so much!! For the first time I feel like I actually understood something. God bless you! Honestly, you're a gem!!

It says Apidra Solostar, 100 units, insulin glulisine. I'm not sure what that means

Ah at that moment I was struggling with going to bed earlier so I could eat meals at proper times and inject insulin accordingly. I'm struggling with that but that's another problem. I typed it in my question in the spur of the moment [emoji28]

Oh I'll have to check that out! Nope, I don't think any of those continuous monitoring devices and available where I live, or will I haven't found them yet. They look pretty convenient tho
