Hey!
So I am a type 1 diabetic and have been for 14 years in October (I am 20 years old now) I have good control and am looking to lose about 30 lbs. Although being a diabetic doesn't interfere with my life all that much, it can get irritating! I have lost weight in the past and am starting to try again, but the first few days or weeks are always the hardest. It is hard to stay motivated sometimes when it seems like I am constently fighting low blood sugars due to the changes I make in my diet and activity. I adjust my insulin levels but it always takes a little while to get everything just right.
I was just wondering if anyone else deals with this or maybe need some support if they are in the same boat
