[QUOTE="Blackers183, post: 1364636, member: 113279"] Agree with the others that it's a difficult condition to manage but in the end it's up to you and only you to look after yourself. To manage type 1 diabetes every hour of every day you needs lots of information, guidance and will power. Joining this site is a good start and read lots of books (ask people on this site, etc) about the condition. Be prepared to challenge the medical professionals and don't expect anyone who is not a diabetic to understand. On the weight issue I carb count and had thought that this possibly opened to door to overeating and just dosing up accordingly. However on the DAFNE (Dose Adjusting For Normal Eating) course I attended 2 years ago it was indicated that most type 1s who carb count actually lose weight, it has something to do with actually keeping records of carb intake.
