Message: <blockquote data-quote="scuttymacdutty" data-source="post: 1500148" data-attributes="member: 380309">Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in August of last year (11 months ago) and was given Abasaglar and Humalog for treatment. I was taking between 15-20 units a day and nce my blood settled I was taking between 5-10 units a day which still isn't a lot. However a few months ago I became ill and naturally my blood sugars rose and had to take more insulin for that. Now that I'm back to good health, and going on holiday at the end of August, I wanted to get really fit and bikini-ready again since I've always been a good eater and pretty sporty. During my ill phase I became out of shape so I approached the Joe Wick's 90 day body coach programme which consists of 4-5 days of HIIT sessions a week and a reduced carb meal diet apart from on days of training, then a carb rich meal is required after a workout. I've been on the course for 3 week now and with one exception when I had to take 3 units of only background insulin after my birthday (too much cake), my blood levels have been excellent. 8 times out of 10 they've been on or close to 5.5mmol/L and never out with the 4-7mmol/L range - even after eating a carb heavy meal post work out. And the best part is: no hypos! Which I suffered from 2-5 days a week when taking insulin. I'm feeling fantastic but am wondering is this still just the honeymoon period playing out? I read an article about how a T1D patient is getting tested on because it seems like he's basically reversed his diabetes due to his exercise regime. Maybe it's just wishful thinking. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?</blockquote>
