New, overweight & Type 1 diabetes

poodlebone

Hello,
My name is Liz. I have been overweight for most of my life, starting when I was around 10 years old (now 53). At age 19 I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (yes, Type 1 not Type 2). About 18 years into that I started on an insulin pump and I was able to lose weight. Then things with my job changed and I ended up gaining all of the weight back and more. This past year has not helped any.

There are many diabetics on here

The best thing about the Community Boards is knowing you're not the only one who is going through what you are going through.

My daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was 19. She is not overweight but I do like to include her in our meal planning so any tips are appreciated. Good luck on your journey!
