It's been 2 months since my Type 1 diagnosis and I think it's really finally sinking in. I'm starting to realize that it's not just going to go away, despite the changes I've made, and I feel depressed at times. This morning I had less than 15 carbs, gave myself 1 unit (I am on a 1:15 ratio) and 2 hours later I was at 222!

BadMoonT2 said… Hi Sista, I've been following your LADA post and noticed you expressed and interest in Dr. Bernstein so I thought I'd shoot you a link to the Bernstein group here in tuD. The old posts there are a great resource. Another you might like is the Low Carb Recipe Swap I've been low carbing (30 to 50 g/day) for 3.5 years and find I like playing around with recipes to keep things interesting and sustainable for the long term.

Marie B said… wow, you have a similar story to our founder Manny (misdiagnosed). So many here with LADA, and we get it! We have a LADA group and many discussions on it. I've been type 1 for 45 years now. My parents are both from Richmond. My great-grandmother was the first woman MD in the city. I grew up in Alexandria, but I live in northern NJ now. glad to be your first friend, I must say TuDiabetes has made a huge impact on my life, it's just a wonderful place to be.
