Talking Hello!

Hi everybody I just found this website today, though I've had Diabetes type 1 for about six years. I'm the only diabetic I know at my school so I thought I'd sign up to meet others with the same problem as me seeing as no one really understands what it is at my school. Just thought I'd introduce myself...

Many people will try to tell you what you can’t eat with diabetes.
Most will be well-meaning.
Rather than compounding the problem by telling you what you should
eat, I’d recommend a simpler method, eat by your meter.
