Hi guys,
Sorry for the ramble coming here!
I've out on sooo much weight since I was diagnosed T1 6 months ago and I'm desperate to lose it for summer.
I've just been through my AS exam period so during the last few weeks I've been eating a lot of high carb ready meals that I crave with stress.
In the last week I've tried to cut down on carbs: where I was previously having 60/70 grams of carbs of pasta I'm now having 30g of carbs of pitta bread and a little humus and fruit.
But I've found that later in the evening and as I'm trying to sleep I keep getting hypos, which was never really a problem for me before.
I'm also a bit worried about doing intensive exercise as I find I don't feel hypos when I'm moving (e.g. I didn't feel a 2.3 when hiking) but I'm terrified of them becoming really dangerous without me even realise.
Has anyone else had any of these problems and how did you overcome them?
