Hi everyone! i've been reading through this group for days hours at a time! Some great info, and ideas! So i'm already thankful to you!

A little info about me:

I'm a type 1 diabetic, have been since i was a teenager ( half my life now) and well it's hard being diabetic and losing weight... it's awful.. I just started LC yesterday! I'm feeling pretty puney today... my reasons for starting are b/c i've done some reaserach on Diabetes and low carb and it seems the best idea for me.

I've been doing a calorie restriction diet and trying to exercise, but every dang time i exercise i get low blood sugars, and then that sabotages all the work i've done! Soooo dang aggravating! Not to mention the high-low blood sugars make me crankky!

So it's day two, my blood sugars have ranged from 82-126 and i haven't had to bolus any insulin ( you don't know what that means, this is HUGE!! Basically i have an insulin pump that continuously gives me insulin and then when i eat i "bolus" for the amount of carbs i eat) So if i don't eat many carbs i don't have to bolus! Which means my blood sugars don't fluctuate near as much! so it's PRICELESS! ( to me anyways)

so even though i'm on day two and i feel kind of puney i'm going to push through this, and keep on trucking! I've heard the first week is the worst, and it will get better..

So anybody who wants to add me and help me, i'd appreciate it and would love advice thanks!!
