Hi all. I was diagnosed with T1 just over a year ago. I've a huge appetite and have always been bad with portions but i would generally have a good balanced diet outside of that. I'm never full and always looking for more so just wanted to start a thread to ask people for suggestions on snacks, drinks and general tips they have
I like to lift weights a bit. So does anyone have tips on any protein supplements that work? Any sugar free or low carb that can be drank by themselves?
Anyone have flavour drops, sweetners or any other hacks they use day to day?
Any comments on zero calorie drinks? Is there any issues?
For me, I have found...
1. Coke Zero and vodka my go to drink on a night out and it works for me
2. Low calorie/sugar free jelly my go to snack.i usually use Hartley's sachets to make my own.
3. Black coffee ( I haven't notice the effects of caffeine on my sugars ever)
Any suggestions from your experience are greatly appreciated
