[QUOTE="Smithsky, post: 1350701, member: 124713"] I have been type 1 for a few years, I was in my 40's so it was a bit of a change in mindset but is normally OK ish. (pre menopause now is turning into a bit of a challenge) at my age my children can never know I get scared - apart from times little one really does need to shut up so I can say I need to eat something sort of NOW. I did forget that dancing at a party was possibly not in my calculations last night but no one is perfect and we all need to stop beating ourselves up about all this. Low GI is great- you need carbs, diabetic now compared to people I have met who used to try and measure their pee against a colour chart to work out their blood sugar - you have to admit its not as bad as it used to be. Keep positive, eat cherries - neutral and lovely for a month of the year at least - my tip is get a dog it makes you go out when you don't want to and walk more than you would have on a mini health kick. And red wine is neutral enough to keep me sane [/QUOTE]
