[QUOTE="JAT1, post: 2034520, member: 490842"] Welcome to the forum Ruby Jane! I am also type 1, diagnosed last year. Sounds like you have two problematic situations you are dealing with. One is an overbearing, completely misinformed mum and the other is your type 1. It would be best if you could make your own meals and snacks. That way you have control. Count your carbs and make sure that you are taking the correct amount of insulin for what you eat. Don't count calories, that's old-school. It's carbs that make you gain. So gradually stop eating as many carbs as possible. That's what worked for me. You will find that different type 1s deal with their condition in different ways. Type 2 is a whole different physiology. It's very useful to listen and learn from all the advice here and then find out what is working for you. Living on your own is great (for me). I don't have to listen to anyone's disapproval which just complicates an already complicated life dealing with the regime of Type 1. Best of luck moving forward. Never stay discouraged. [/QUOTE]
