[QUOTE="jessirene, post: 1369303, member: 372405"] Thanks so much everyone. Every reply I get gives me a little more motivation. The CGM I got is a freestyle, doc didn't give me the controller that shows my numbers, so I don't get to see the readings. Have to do my finger sticks 4 times a day. She gave me a new insulin to carb ratio because I'm so active at work. I would love to have a dexcom but I heard that even if health insurance pays 80% of the cost, it's still very expensive. I want to find a diet that keeps me at a steady weight (I'm 5'5 and 141lbs, not sure how much that would be in stones) or even lose a little. I'd love to be around 130lbs. I've heard that a low card, high fat diet will help me lose a little weight and can help me use less insulin. Does anyone do this? Or know a better diet? I want to be better, I want to see my kid grow up. I've already had cataract surgery in both eyes. I have diabetic retinopathy. I was diagnosed with neuropathy about a month after I was diagnosed as type 1. The pain in my feet when my sugar is high can be unbearable. I'll be 29 this year, I want to make it to 89.... [/QUOTE]
