[QUOTE="Wayward Blood, post: 2280736, member: 520440"] Hi Chloe, welcome to the forum! It's great that you're putting so much effort into managing your diabetes right from the offset. I know that it can be frustrating when things don't seem to go according to plan though, especially when you're putting so much effort in. For me, I manage my type 1 diabetes with a low carbohydrate diet, which has really done wonders for my control. This can be a contentious subject; you'll find people who believe that it's the only way to live healthily with diabetes, and others who feel that it's completely unnecessary and too restrictive. My advice is to do some research and make your own mind up. I was convinced by reading Dr Richard Bernstein's book 'Complete Diabetes Solution'. It's [I]extremely[/I] in-depth, but really does cover an enormous amount. I'd also recommend the following video featuring Dr Troy Stapleton, who was diagnosed with Type 1 in adulthood. [MEDIA=youtube]TR8rc_AF6XU[/MEDIA] Regarding your specific circumstances: I have no experience as a parent with Type 1 (although that's due to change this month when my wife gives birth to our first child!). I'd therefore suggest googling for groups of Type 1 mums, and/or seeing if there are blogs out there. I'd particularly recommend this if you decide to give a low carbohydrate diet a try, or if you decide to adopt any other specific ways of eating. There will be people out there who've been in your shoes and documented the experience. All the best and I hope you find the perfect answers to help you. :) [/QUOTE]
