Just a quick hello since I'm new here. I've been a type one diabetic for 17 years and thought I'd re-educate myself on some of the basics since they tend to get fuzzy as you go through certain parts of your life eh?...
Or at least they did for me. So, I'll be lurking around looking for useful info on things that I've forgotten about. I exercise a lot and don't have a love of food so that's naturally kept me pretty healthy, but all I remember my doctors telling me when I was diagnosed (8 years old) were things like I can eat as much cheese and meat, I just have to watch carb intake... never questioned it until now...and I don't know why--it seems so relevant no?
Anyway, you can see, I tend to ramble. I promise not to do so if/when I reply to posts.
Live healthy peeps! ^_^
Oh! and I welcome any questions about anything or experiences and such...I've unfortunately abused my body with hard drugs and alcohol during some younger years so if you had that curiosity and how it affects diabetics, I might be of help. >_>  |

| | | G'day firoz, I'm glad you found us here. Dont just lurk, be sure to participate as I'm sure you have heaps to discuss.
Your allo allo reminded me of the funniest British tv series of the French Resistance of that name. Did you get that series up there?

| | | Welcome Firoz!
DO participate; just jump right in instead of only lurking!
I also abused my body in the younger days. I wish I could take all that back. Thankfully, I'm not in bad shape, but might have been in better shape . . . will never really know.
Glad you came along . . .

| | Welcome to the forums I guess the "just say no" memo got lost in the mail or maybe Reagon forgot to mail it to you. I guess we all did stupid things when we were young I know did my share.
