Hi y'all! I'm Madison, this is my third or so time seriously trying to lose some weight. I can always lose about 30lbs but then I gain it right back. I'm 28 years old, ER nurse, mom to an almost 2 year old (can't even blame a post partum body- he's adopted!, just joined Fit4Mom, and I've been type 1 diabetic for 17 years which adds a whole 'nother element to losing weight! I'd love to have some friends on my page to keep me motivated, especially some T1D's! Add me as a friend or come chat and say hi!

    The struggle is real. T1D since 1991. I live on oatmeal.

    Right there with you ladies, '93 for me. I really find oatmeal makes me spike!

    Hi ladies! I've been T12 since '87. 30 years! I eat my oatmeal in the morning with a banana for breakfast. I'm most active in the morning, trying to get housework done and chasing my 19 month old around, so those carbs fuel my energy needs and I don't spike. Do you use an insulin pump or do MDI?
