I have been diagnosed now for about 10 years. I am a type one diabetic. I feel the only time my diabetes have ever been under control was when I was in the hospital. I have been on my own pretty much this whole time. I have a very hard time gaining weight. I have a very hard time keeping my sugars where they should be and keeping them steady. I try to ask for advice but it doesn't sound too good to follow. A doctor once told me to up my carbs to gain weight "what? are you serious, up my carbs?" That just screams high blood sugar. So of course I didn't bother with the advice. I need help with a good diet. I need help with what foods to eat, what foods I should never touch. I also need help with insulin. I understand I need to take it when I wake up and when I eat but I don't understand the amount I should take and why? Are there any good websites that help with a meal plan for type one diabetics? I do not have a doctor that has been with me since day one so when I see a doctor its like they know nothing about me. (obviously...but its just hard to explain) Sorry I'm just typing whats in my head at the moment. I will be posting plenty of more threads lol so I hope none of you mind. Thanks for the help. I need it!
