Hello Diabetics , I have been a Type1 diabetic from the age of 9yrs, currently I am 49yrs of age.
During last year I finally administered my insulin using the pen as my old insulin was being discontinued and after some time of trialing different dosage levels it appears that I have now finally worked out a right dose for myself.
I have had during my years a somewhat awkward path as since my 16yrs I was diagnosed with a bone disorder named 'Kienbochs' which resulted in my right Lunate bone removed and a section of my wristbone which has been replaced with Titanium.
Aside also from the unfortunate fact of being run over twice (first pelvis broken) and the second time my ear was torn off although thankfully no lasting damage was done and I made a full recovery on both accounts.
Although, during May of 2015 I was diagnosed with an aggressive bladder cancer which was a grade3 and required A.S.A.P surgery although within 1 hour of leaving the urology dept in the hospital I unfortunately broke my ankle and so went into hospital where my ankle was operated on and again Titanium was constructed to hold my ankle together and then began the first of 3 surgerys on my bladder which resulted finally in my bladder being removed along with prostate and urethra and a neo-bladder being constructed from my bowel material hence giving me in place of my old bladder a bladder named a Neo-Bladder.
So far, it appears the cancer was all cut out and I feel extremely fortunate to still be here to write this as if I hadnt of had the last 9hr surgery and with being told when asked "What happens if I dont have the surgery to remove my bladder etc" the answer was "You will probably have at maximum 12 months to live" alas the surgery was done and (again) I am still here.
The question I have (if you dont mind) is that since the surgery I feel absolutely worn out and as somebody whom never really had a large appetite both before my last surgery and even more so since , it can be difficult in order to get my correct *grams intake *(I still base my foods on what I was told as a young diabetic ie; 1 large slice of bread is 10grams,1 apple 10grams,1 banana 10grams etc) and so I would like to ask if any members have any ideas on what foods to suggest to give myself the addequate grams in order to stay away from Hypoglaecemia's ..
ps; Thank you if you read this far and my very best regards and wishes to all of you, and a belated Happy new year, J
