Do you think the carbs in fruit are equally as harmful as the carbs in whole wheat bread, rice or pasta for our blood sugars? Do you use fruits in your low carb diet? I'm thinking about using some apples or oranges in my breakfast. Not more than 30g of fruit carbs a day. Thank you! :D

10 years is a good mark. We'll surely have something, if not artificial pancreas, something else. :D

''A trial testing a wearable version of the system under free-living conditions is justified.'' Great news. :D

Thank you for your support :)

I'm a type 1 since I was 11 years old. It always seemed to me that the typical argument ''you're very young'' or ''you're still growing up'' was just an excuse in order to justify a terrible control of diabetes. I've always heard that young diabetics, specially teenagers, tend to have a much...

I'm a type 1 and I don't understand this question: Does the amount of fast acting insulin (Novorapid, Humalog) you take has anything to do with the amount of slow acting insulin (Lantus, Levemir) you take? I'll try to explain myself: Suppose that a person takes 18 units of slow acting a day, and...

I'm thinking that Novorapid is not convering my meals. My stomach seems to fully empty after Novorapid takes his major action. Can it be gastroparesis? I'm thinking of taking Regular insulin instead of Novorapid.

Thank you for your replies. :D I'll keep an eye on this new breakfast plan and I'll tell you soon. And thanks for the warm welcome too!

Increasing fat intake may increase your insulin resistance for the first weeks as well, because you're taking more calories but the reduction of carb intake has had no effect yet. Stay strong on low carb diet for a few weeks and you should see some results. :D Don't forget to check your blood...

You're lucky. I'm on low carb and I still need fast acting insulin, at least to cover protein.

My perfect basal dose should be 14 units of Levemir in the morning, and 6 units twelve hours later. Anyway, I'm having some problems with my dose in the mornings, which covers perfectly my basal needs... until afternoon arrives. 10 hours since the moment I take my dose (and 4 hours after lunch)...

Yes, I've been a type 1 for 7 years, and I'm also very slim (128 pounds, 175cm).

Hi, sorry for my bad english, greetings from Spain. I've been low carbing for more than two years now, since I was 16 approximately. My daily carb count has been always under 30g. Now I'm 18 and I'm studying a degree, but I'm having some problems with my overall energy in the mornings, since I...

I feel that every diabetic has his own sense of where high blood sugars begin. I've noticed that some people say ''It's high'' when they reach 7.8 (140), for others it's plain 7 (126), and others don't talk about high blood sugars until they reach at least 10. I'd say my limit is 7.2 (130)...

Mine was 6.1 last time. My control has even improved since then, so I can't wait to see some new results!
