[QUOTE="Wayward Blood, post: 2294453, member: 520440"] Hi Gembow, This must have been a really strange time to be diagnosed. It's tough enough without COVID-19, so I'm sorry you've missed out on the support. However, the good news is that there is a huge amount of information out there if you're willing to look for it. Your healthcare team (when you can see them) will most likely tell you to eat plenty of carbohydrate and match your insulin dose. However, not everyone believes that this is a healthy way to eat for a diabetic – the more carbohydrate you have, the more insulin you'll need. And the more you inject, the harder it is to predict the effect. Low carbohydrate diets, while not supported by the establishment, are increasingly popular for managing both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Anyone who's seen my other posts will feel like I'm a broken record, because I'm going to point you towards a video by Dr Troy Stapleton. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2012 and now strongly supports low carbohydrate diets. The absolute authority on the matter is Dr Richard Bernstein, who is now in his 80s and has been managing his type 1 diabetes with a low carbohydrate diet since his 30s. He's extremely hardcore though, and very matter-of-fact about complications. [MEDIA=youtube]TR8rc_AF6XU[/MEDIA] All the best! [/QUOTE]
