in Motivation and Support
Hello!

I was diagnosed with T1D at age 11 (almost 16 years ago!) I'm on an insulin pump, but still struggle with controll. I tend to do well for a couple of weeks, then totally fall off for months. I joined MFP in hopes of tracking my carb intake (to help with insulin dosages) and for weight loss.

I would really like to connect with other type 1 diabetics for support and motivation. I don't know any other T1D's and it gets a little lonely and I just want to be "normal."

    I'm type 1 diabetic you can add me. There is a good website with lots of type 1 diabetic on there that are just like us and I think is helpful. I believe it's called Get fit? I'll double check on the name and see if I'm telling you the right name but it's a husband and wife who our fitness trainers and the woman her name is Cristal and she is also a type 1 diabetic. I follow her on FB
    I have been trying to start back on my fitness pal again too but yes it is helpful when you can follow someone who can relate.

    Hi! T1D here... diagnosed almost 14 years ago at age 23 (so late onset). Use an insulin pump, too. Definitely struggling with my blood sugars and my love for food especially carbs. I have a 9 month-old and have been especially struggling with my #'s and weight since I gave birth to my son. Would love to connect and just support each other! Please add me
