[QUOTE="stewpid, post: 42248, member: 13290"] Hi - new to the forum but this is a topic which interests me (not the Greggs pasties but the carbs issue). I've been T1 for nearly 10 years now and it seems that the older I get the more difficult it is to control BG and the more stuff I'm being told is bad for me and I've got to cut out. Seems even the things I thought were better than the sugar packed diet I used to enjoy are now not acceptable. Just so you know my latest HbA1c (last week) was 8.3. It has been better in the past but frankly getting fed up with having to modify my diet and eat things which I dislike (broccoli - spawn of the devil!!) in order to keep something like reasonable levels. I enjoy (reasonable amounts of) bread, potato, pasta, meat, vegetables, fruit etc, but now am told to "significantly reduce" my carb intake. At 55 I would like to enjoy life but it seems to get more difficult, and to be honest the "professionals" I see are more interested in getting me in and out of the clinic than really helping me to understand the issues and finding out more about me and how I can manage my condition better but at the same time have a quality of life. You all seem to know more about it than the pros (presumably because you live with it every day like I do) so thought I would ask for opinions/advice. TIA Stewart [/QUOTE]
