@Bibas18 I also have a type 1 blog on instagram where I post recipies and training, etc. It's been a long process of figuring it all out and ups and down, but im.happy to share. My T1 online community made such a helpful difference for me over the years.

Oh yeah, I wanted to mention I use a Dexcom 4 CGM, to help monitor my bgs. It's my favorite thing ever! My flip belt is my favorite thing to wear during races. It holds all my T1stuff. But, it's the training that's key. You gotta know what your body does and how it responds to distance running, but more importantly, you…

Hi! Type 1, 40 yrs old, I have run a couple marathons and halfs, training for the Spartan Beast right now, which is a half with obstacles. I use myfitnesspal to track my food, since it helps so much with bg control, and keeping my weight on track.

Also, think of it like a weekly checkbook. It need's to balance weekly. It may mean less food tomorrow, or more low cal choices. It may mean hunger for a time period, but you can have more later. Also...hunger pains pass. I use intermittent fasting to come back from an upset. Upsets are life. And I'm really good until that…

Life of a T1D THIS...is where I am lucky to live, and the beauty that is every early morning. [pic] THIS...is the awesome low cal, high protein, low carb waffle that's starting my day. [pic] Today is big and busy with extra work stuff/stress thrown in, so why not get up a little early and set those positive intentions??? I…

@abatonfan whoa! Impressive control there! I teach, so I hear ya with the summer pre -class goals. I try to stay btwn 70 and 140 since that's hormonally and metabolically where normal bodily processes can occur, but it's nearly impossible for me to maintain consistently, as a female with weekly shifts in hormones. Also, I…

♡ @jamie_lee80 True dat! It is FRUSTRATING how quickly we can regress. I so get it and applaud you for your DAY 1 back!! It sounds like you have a really great plan. Remember. ..it takes longer for us. It just does. Trust the process, and be willing to see what does and doesn't work and tweak it. Weight / resistance…

♡ @Sunny_Bunny_ thank you for your response. My weight loss "success" came after staying at 188 lbs (I'm 5'8) for nearly 3 years after my last pregnancy. My son is now 7. My T1D body held onto weight and pregnancy hormones in spite of what I did. Finally, the scale started moving down by the tiniest of ounces at a time.…

Krista, I've had endocrinologists (yes, plural...) tell me the same thing. I finally had enough and realized I had to take control. I had tried to lose the weight from health issues for years to no avail. I researched, took medicine/treatment changes to my Drs (I see all specialists due to my Type 1 and other), went…

Hi Laura, I've been doing Weight Watchers since Feb, and have switched to this (its free). I have lost over 20lbs since Feb. Also Type 1, saw many things we have in common in your post. I have found I HAD to eat to lose. Minimum, I have to eat 1200 cal/day to lose weight. Sometimes, like you say, I have to force myself to…
