Hello my fellow T1Ds! I'm new to this forum but I had something I wanted to share. I'm a filmmaker from Canada who was struggling to see T1D properly represented in film - or represented at all for that matter - so I decided to save up some money and make my own short that explores what it's...

Hi I was diagnosed with T1 7 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. It was a whirlwind, I was put on insulin at 24 weeks pregnant and then got the insulin pump during my second pregnancy 3 years later. My management during my pregnancies was great both times - very tough but I made...

Spotted this whilst putting together a leaflet on LC woe for my GP surgery (hoping they will use it!). Saw a couple of weeks ago and I'm sure it was only 300+ then. Now 600+ already. I think it's a great idea for us to share our journeys to help others. I know that when I was first diagnosed...

I am trying to work out how someone with TID: on a recommended protein intake of say 80 g per day will ever get low enough in carb intake to go into ketosis? I am assuming that 50% of protein will be converted by the liver into glucose = 40g Does this person have to forego any carbs in order to...

Hi, I have recently found that when im low, i will start overthinking and all the problems of the world will strike my brain and i will consider the worst possible outcomes for almost everything in my life.

In keeping with the day: Remember you don't HAVE TO love wearing your CGM and pump (but at least be aware of what life was like without it). However one chooses to celebrate, forget, sweeten or soften the day may EVERY day be sweet and loving without need of extra carbs or artificial...

Hi all, new to the forums and 8 years as T1D. I have done a search with various buzzwords but not found the information or guidance that I need. Based in the UK so really only relevant to this country, I moved recently and got told by my doctors practice that I would need to register with...

Hello. I've been a T1D for more than 14 years now, using only Insulin (Insulatard and Actrapid). My HbA1c is 8%. Yesterday, my doctor changed my Insulin dose (lowered it quite a bit) and added Glucophage (Metformine). I thought this was for Type 2 only, so I don't know if any of you had been...

I see so many food items on here that I personally wouldn't touch, so I thought I'd post up a few T1D meals I eat to add some variety, I'm currently looking to gain a couple of kg so have upped the portion size and insulin injection to suit, I'm coming up to my 34th or 35th diaversary, mostly...
