Hi everyone just found this group and thought I would join.
I have type 1 diabetes and have had it since 1993 when I was eighteen I was diaganosed, for the first year I was able to control it by diet and exercise then I went on insulin in 1994. I have not had any complications and would like to lose weight so that I can keep it this way. Since loosing weight I have found my blood sugars have been in great control and my A1C has been normal. I go back for blood work this month so we will see again.
I am a mom of a very active two year old that helps keep me busy as well. Just wanted to have the support of people who understand my problems and to answer questions if I have them as I go along. Take care everyone and best of luck in your weight loss journey!!

Hi Angel, feel free to add me if you'd like!
I've had type 1 diabetes since age 10. I'm the regional captain for a group called Insulindependence that promotes active living for those with diabetes. I'm pretty active, but need to work on my food as I'm about 30 pounds overweight. Congrats on your normal A1C! Don't think I've ever had one that was "normal". Diabetes sure does vary from person to person, because God knows I work at it 24/7 (I so wish there was a paycheck). :-P
Take care, Erin0 -
Hello Angel,
My name is Diane & I am a type 1 for 39yrs.
I want to first say congrats on being so young & taking care of yourself by joining this site to track your food & exercise. You are being very wise & responsible. I wasnt when I was diagnosed (at least not for the earlier years) I had 3 young children & didnt worry about me...I ate things i shouldnt haveIt ( I think a lot of it was denial) & in later years paid the price with mant complications. I want to encourage you to stick to a healthy eating & exercise program so these things dont happen to you. Dont ever be foolish like I was. You sound like youre doing well so far.
I wish you well on this journey. Message me anything you want to ask or just to chat & please friend me if you like.
Best wishes & God bless!
