Hi! I am trying to loose weight and I'm trying to help my 18 yr old daughter who has Type 1 diabetes. We both have at least 30 pounds to loose. I'm looking for any help, any group, any suggestions.

Thank you for your help,
Judy

    Make sure your daughter has a full understanding of what her dietary needs should be from her PCP and a Diabetic Registered Dietician....you are not going to get medical advice here on MFP.. but MFP is a great tracking tool to use to keep track of whatever macros you want when you set up your accounts.

    Good luck

    Thank you cramernh. She sees her endocrinologist 3-4 times a year. We are not looking for any medical advise, only stories, encouragement and tips from others with type 1 diabetes.

    Thanks again,
    Judy
