Molly replied to Deborah's discussion 'Wanted a snickers bar . . . .'"You can get a burger "protein style" at In and Out Burger. It's wrapped in lettuce. It will fix your burger craving and won't screw up your BG numbers."
Molly replied to hk62's discussion 'How do you motivate yourself?'"I think there's a balance that you eventually find. I was the same. Diagnosed in December2011.

Molly replied to Oakville27's discussion 'Changing I:C ratio or insulin sensitivity?'"I am starting to have to be really careful about the protein also. I found that I was going higher than expected after meals and it was because of the protein. I still have trouble at times figuring out the timing on injecting with more protein…"
Molly replied to Oakville27's discussion 'Changing I:C ratio or insulin sensitivity?'"I think all of the things you mentioned are a factor but I also think you are moving out of your honeymoon phase where your pancreas was helping out by making some insulin. this has happened to me pretty recently also. I found it to be frustrating…"
Molly replied to Lil d's discussion 'Type one diagnosis after age 40?'"I see my friends getting breast cancer or worse and I say at least I can manage this to a certain extent. It is a full time job that's for sure. One good thing about it though, is that I have a better appreciation now for things that I used to…"
Molly replied to Kelsey's discussion 'News..'"Hi Kelsey,
I couldn't stop thinking about you and this discussion last night. Some words may seem harsh but really they are meant to help you realize that this new life changing event of yours is going to be amazingly challenging, just like D.…"

Molly replied to Molly's discussion 'Crossfit... Have you tried it? What does your BG do during and after?'"I'm not on a pump as I decided the CGM was the best way for me to start. Do you go low at night after your workout? The more I do cardio the better my Ins:carb ratio is the next day. Is this true for you when you lift? M"

Josh F said… Well, the good news is this. getting T1 so late is a blessing. Your complications won't happen until technology will have them all figured out, T1 will be cured, or you will be too old to care...or you just won't get them. Lol
;-) Morbid I know, but there is a silver lining to everything in a weird way. Thanks for the kind words btw.
