Trying to get my head around the whole DT1 diagnoses, need to shift gears as a 55 year old male.

Where do I start with Diet and exercise?

I have chosen a sugar free detox diet and started with a goal of 10000 steps (iwatch) a day - getting more active using stairs.

Stay safe stay health and keep a smile.

    Yep I’m feeling the same as you - just diagnosed with Type 1 at 60 years old! I’m a Registered Dietitian and this diagnosis was a huge surprise (I’ve taught many DT1 over the years!).
    The diet that often works the best is Mediterranean but it strongly depends on your medications. Your Endocrinologist will have a Registered Dietitian for you to work with. They will be able to see your medical record and make your meal plans specific to your likes and life needs. Welcome to a small elite group!
