Hi! I am a type 1 diabetic, having had it for 6 years ish and having spent years hiding away the diabetes, by not talking about it to anyone if at all possible, trying to keep it hidden, or just trying to forget I have it, I have started to become more and more open with my condition, hence I have joined diabetes forum! I have started to enjoy communicating with other type 1 diabetics, surprisingly (!) as rewind a year or two and it is the last thing I would have wanted, and I am also enjoying see other people going through what I have and what they have done to improve their health, as I have never met another type 1 diabetic (apart from at hospital!), so never had anyone or anything to relate too.
Currently, my HbA1c is still a little higher than it should be, and I am thinking of reducing my carbohydrate intake to try to help that, if so, is that is a good idea? I am really after any suggestions that others have done to reduce their HbA1c, anything is helpful!
And any other tips that people have found for helping reduce their blood sugar levels (slightly) due to change in diet or whatever would be really appreciated!
Thanks x
