Hi Just wanted to say Hello,
I am T2 diagnosed last septemeber-just realised it's actually almost a year ago. Im on 2 tabs of metformin and sposed to be managing via diet/lifestyle. Have to say, I started out pretty good,twixt sept and feb i lost 2 stone and paid a lot of attention to what I was eating and doing...and then since feb I have been a bad boy. night time snacking, sneaked sandwiches, biscuits and the like. managed to out a stone back on-well almost. cut out exercise. let my self subside into letting go into highs. anyway, past frtnight or so, I have reassessed what I am doing, sheesh, my life story, and started on a low carb/vaguely low GI diet with some added extra walking/running up stairs (i am only 42) and feel so much better for it. i am assiduously checking my BS levels and have for the last 14 days been very good with most readings being less than 5 or tops 6.2 mmol.
Anyway, sorry this is goin on-what I am really intereste din and looking to hear from anyone with experiences of is parents with youngsters diagnosed T1.
My kid was diagnosed T1 in feb of this year-when I started on my biscuit craze-and is on a basul bolus trtment, with galrgeen in the am. followed by vaious units of novo rapid post each meal.
We're finding it hard to get a. variety b. healthy options into our now 3 year old; the hospital reccomended he has 40gs of carbohydrate per meal.
And the 40g he does get tends to be of the sort of food that kids often like-far from ideal and im not at all sure it's what id be giving myslef...such as yogs, mini sarnies with thin scraping of nutella...i know doesnt sound right to me....
..it's a great opportunnity for dischord and disagreement in the house...sheesh amundo .
So, there we are, that's me. I am in rural mid wales and am interested to hear of anyone's experiences of bringing up youngster (under 5) who's dgnsd T1
I am looking frwrd to learning a load from this forum so thanks for hearing me out,
best
