Good stuff here.I have a 13 yr old daughter with Type 1 diabetes. A different disease, but similar in many ways. I have learned a lot about diabetes after she was diagnosed.
1. Learn to count your carbs.
2. Buy a food scale.
3. Look at nutrition facts on boxes. You can not believe the amount of carbs in some foods.
4. Download the app Calorie King. This is a big help when eating out.
5. Buy the book Diabetes Solution by Bernstein
Good luck
I got Type 1 when I was 7--now here I am 37 years later, 4 shots, 5 blood finger sticks a day equals no fun.
I have great control, but I had no choice in getting this disease. You do and you don't want to go down this road.
