I think keeping a food diary with calories, as well as carbs, can be helpful. If you cut some calories from meals so you can eat carbs to keep from going low when you exercise, that…"
Ann commented on Mo27's blog post 'Bride on a mission...'"You might read Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution.

Niko commented on Mo27's blog post 'Bride on a mission...'"Great A1c, btw, lows or not...:-)

Since I started the pill, I put on ten pounds.As a diabetic I am struggling with incorporating more rigorous exercise into my day without hitting low blood sugars.

Mo27 replied to rossm's discussion 'Can't Lower BG' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"This may have been asked already but have you tried changing the infusion set? This has happened to me SO many times where there is a kink in the line or the cannula gets bent."
Mo27 replied to Jennifer's discussion 'Airport security and insulin pumps' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I found it depends on the airport. I live in Laurel, MD and have never had a problem out of BWI, Dulles International or Regan International.

- I've had type I diabetes since I was 15 years old. Diagnosed the week before Thanksgiving. I'm a registered dietitian on my way to applying for the certified diabetes educator program. I'm struggling with my new exercise regimen because it's inducing low blood sugars post workout. I'm eating healthy, drinking lots of water and working out routinely...but my workout is reeking havoc on my blood sugars-then I over-correct and you know the story from there...diabetes rollercoaster. Just looking for support and advice.
