[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2445023, member: 527103"] It is early days so not surprising your HbA1C is high. Regarding diet, please be aware that insulin is the tool your body needs to manage carbohydrates and you are in control of the insulin. People with type 2 diabetes often follow a low carb diet. Type 2 is a different condition to Type 1. With Type 1, a healthy diet does not need to vary from the healthy diet you would have without diabetes. If you enjoy bread - most of us with Type 1 continue to eat bread. If you like cake, and chocolate eat cake and chocolate but be aware you will put on weight in the same way you would if you ate cake and chocolate without diabetes. I eat pasta and rice and potatoes and bananas and pizza and ... with no guilt, no weight gain and a good diabetes management. [/QUOTE]
