[QUOTE="Bucco, post: 281120, member: 40949"] Hi all, Diagnosed on 26th Jan T1D Fasting BG 16, A1c 9.2 83.5kg 174cm and was fairly fit - ran an 8min mile, swam, cycled etc....or did up until about last October which was when things started to go wrong..... Read what you all had to say here, read Bernstien, read Scheiner, read everything I could find. Went low carb immediately. A1c 3 weeks ago was 5. Still the same height, weight now 79.4kg, fasting BG 5.2 am now on Levemir 10u morning 10u bedtime and NovaRapid 1u to 10g carbs. This weeks numbers: Monday - avg BG 5.8, total insulin 33u, total carbs 111g Tuesday - avg BG 6.3, total insulin 25.5u, total carbs 25g Wednesday - avg BG 6.3, total insulin 27.5u, total carbs 61g Thursday - avg BG 5.7, total insulin 23.5u, total carbs 26g Friday - avg BG 5.6, total insulin 24u, total carbs 35g Saturday - avg BG 6.1, total insulin 37u, total carbs 154g Have gotten my BP down from a worrying 154/98 to avg 98/60 by increased exercise - now running nearly every day a couple of miles with longer runs once or twice a week and am planning a 10k this month. On the weight loss, have lost 6kg of fat mass and gained 2kg of lean mass, net/net lost 4kg! Low carb really does work, my sense of smell has improved, my sense of taste has improved and the quality of the food I now eat is so much better than the processed, packaged 'convenience' rubbish that I used to chomp my way through! Thank you all for this forum and your support! Bucco [/QUOTE]
