Anyone try intermittent fasting?
Hi all- I'm a 46 yr old T1 on an insulin pump who's lost about 10 lb since fall 2016. Strenuous workout 2x weekly, and uphill walking 2x weekly, 30 mins. I'm eating 1500 cals daily and am not doing low carb; I tried it and can't stick to it. My schedule doesn't allow more exercise than this. Read about Jason Fung MD's…
Anyone take Tresiba?
My endo today wants me to change from Levemir to Tresiba and I have been doing some reading online. What time do you take the shot? I take my Levemir at 10:30am and pm but since this is once a day, I would love to be able to take it earlier so when I am really tired I can go to bed earlier. People I have seen online seem…

Losing 80+ lbs with T1D
Hi all, I'm a 29 year old female with Type 1. I was diagnosed when I was 20, so I've had it for about 9 years. In the beginning I was not told about the weight gain from insulin, and continued my bad eating habits and gained a tremendous amount of weight back (I lost a lot rapidly before I was diagnosed). Because of my…
Medtronic Cases
I had an issue with my 530G come up yesterday... it has had a small crack for months. By small, I mean it wasn't all the way through the plastic even and didn't bother me. Then it grew to where it is cracked all the way through, and much longer - basically diagonal all the way across the front of the pump from corner to…
Viacyte Study
I've been watching this for a few years now and it is entering human trials now... I am cautiously hopeful. http://viacyte.com/products/pec‐encap-vc-01/
Age+ Insulin = Weight Gain
I was diagnosed with T1D in 1962; that equates to almost 56 years of dealing with everything that goes along with being a long-time diabetic. I wasn’t always “fluffy” but my senior years have witnessed a gain of weight that I totally hate. It seems the more I try to lose, the more I gain. I cut back on my basal insulin and…
Type 1 Weight loss buddies
hi I am 20 years old and trying to lose excess weight. By measure I am not overweight but I have tummy fat that I am trying to get rid of but I find it difficult as I have thyroid problems as well as coeliac disease and the weight loss is made difficult by the diabetes. I would love to make weight loss friends with fellow…
Low Carb?
My Dr office wants me to eat more carbs. 45 for breakfast, 45 for lunch and 45 to 60 for dinner... and skip carb snacks... I really feel it is waayyy to many carbs to eat in a day. But... there are days when I do eat that many and more (usually sweet tooth binges or office party temptations). Anyhow, normally I just can't…
