I'm not a diabetic but my hubby is type 1, he's on this site but he doesn't post much. He's not on the pump, it sent him DKA to the hospital a few times, so he's taking the shots several times a day.

What's most difficult for him I think is that he's realizing if he'd just wake up and eat breakfast and bring more for lunch he wouldn't get so low right before dinner. I think it's more important for him even, to eat smaller more consistently timed meals. He's listened to me for years telling him this but to see it on MFP, to see when he gets low and where all his calories are at dinner...I think it's finally having an effect.

Also, he didn't realize how many calories were in steak lol
