    Hi Vicky, I'm Pete. I'm also a type one diabetic. Only started using this app today. Got great trouble keeping those levels where they should be. I started watching what I eat and checking my bloods on a regular basis only about a month ago. Maybe we can help each other with dieting.

    Hi Geordielass40, :)
    Good to see you here too! I haven't heard anything back from vickiann1995. I'm glad to see someone else with T1D around. Especially someone as experienced as you. I've been using this app for about two weeks now, I think. Could be three. I like the app because it really helps me with keeping an eye on my food intake. Ever since I started using it I got my glucose levels under better control. My initial idea was when I started using it to find out how many insulin units I need for certain amounts of carbs in my food. But for now I'm just getting used to a stricter diet since i haven't controlled what I was eating in a long time other then injecting more insulin when ever I got a snack. I'm changing this habbit because I want to be in more control and therefore I hope I will have more freedom. Fingers crossed!
    I'm injecting by the way. Are you using a pump or are you injecting as well?

    Hi all! I am also type 1 and looking for some friends... I have been in and out of gyms for a long time and recently went back. I am up to six times a week and have 60 pounds to go.
