[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2311676, member: 68789"] Of course a T1 can eat deserts, but we would need to know more about the kind of insulin you’re using, and the dosing strategy you have right now [USER=530725]@sd3oaa[/USER]. You appear as a ‘newbie’, so if you’re currently on fixed doses, and haven’t yet encountered carb counting and ways to give yourself the amount of insulin you need for the carb you’re eating, you may be in a different situation from those of us who have lived with T1 for some time. It’d be a good idea to ask the diabetes team who are helping you manage T1 about ways that you can choose what to eat and adapt your bolus (the faster release insulin that covers carbohydrate eaten, and is also used to correct higher blood sugars when required) to it. The other insulin most of us take is a basal insulin. The basal releases more slowly and generally covers the delivery of insulin to allow glucose uptake by major organs etc.) It’s a bit different for people who use a pump. If you’re still using a premixed insulin then it’ll be a bit different for you at the moment. [/QUOTE]
