[QUOTE="Keggering, post: 1400190, member: 320775"] I've been type 1 for nearly 7 years, and I've just finished my first year of being strictly low carb. I considered celebrating with a huge chocolate cake but I managed to resist ;-) I also try to manage the condition with cgm, intermittent fasting and exercise, but I'm far from being an expert in these things! This has really changed my life in a lot of ways. I haven't reached where I want to be yet with diabetes control, but my numbers are so vastly improved that it's given me great hope for the future, which as you know is something that can be severely lacking for type 1s! I've also had a big improvement in my weight and general health and happiness, and I believe that things can get even better. My goals are normal blood sugars with as low insulin as possible (I know, I'm a dreamer!). I know lots of type 1s are using or are interested in low carb, to varying degrees, and I decided to share my progress and experiences online. People on this forum have helped me in the past, and I would love to help others, even if it's just moral support as we fantasise about eating pad thai. I'm lowcarbtype1 on instagram, and I've just started a blog at lowcarbtype1blog.wordpress.com Suggestions for blog post topics are welcome. I'm not a healthcare professional, I'm not selling anything, and I don't want to argue with anyone who disagrees with this lifestyle, I just want to let those who are interested know what I'm doing in a lighthearted and supportive way. Sorry if I made you crave pad thai and chocolate cake. [/QUOTE]
