Just wanted to say hi.
I joined the T1 club in 2007 at the ripe old age of 52. Needless to say it was quite a surprise - but at least I'm unique! No-one else in my family is a member
.
As for meds, it's Levemir and Novolog for me. A few vitamins: Fish oil, CoQ10, D, B12 and calcium (the usual suspects). My last A1C was 5.6 - yay!
I follow a lower-carb diet (no rice, spuds, pasta), but do indulge in some bread since I love to bake it. I've found that you cannot be a total Ascetic as a diebetic - it's too depressing. Picking something that you aren't willing to give up, but are willing to moderate makes foregoing the other things so much more bearable. Diabetes has made me a much more adventurous cook - always looking for lower-carb ways to do things. No one ever leaves my house hungry, or even knowing that they're participating in the lower-carb experiment.
Glad to have found you all!
Jen
