| Really new to T1
So I am 22 years old and just found out I have Type 1 about 3 weeks ago. My dad has it, so I knew the basics. I dont know of anyone my age dealing with it, but it definitly sucks. I like to go out with my friends and I know you arent supposed to drink much, but can it be done carefully? like with lots of testing and food? are certain drinks better than others?
also, I found that I gained weight as soon as I started on insulin, like 10 pounds. I guess this is pretty normal, since before diagnosis I had lost a bit of weight, but I have read that taking insulin makes u gain some weight and its hard to get rid of it...is this true???
Thanks if anyone can help. I have been looking through this site and its been helpful so far. |
