Hi everyone,
I was diangosed with T1 almost 3 years ago, and my team sort of failed to properly teach me about diabetes etc. I sort of learnt myself in a way.
I have always been worried about my appearance and weight - and I worry that eating carbs will lead me to gain weight because of the higher insulin doses.
So on a typical day I eat:
Breakfast: Granola with yoghurt or Porridge
Lunch: Chicken salad with mixed veggies, avocado etc
Dinner: Usually a piece of meat and vegetables
I am so so self concious and always scared to step on the scales.
Is my diet healthy? Does eating carbs cause weight gain? Would a low carb high fat diet be worse or better?
Thank you in advance xxx
