Hey there
My name is Hugh and I am new to this site today. I myself am not Diabetic however a close friend of mine has type 1. I want to learn as much as I can so I can be of support to her and more importantly understand how it effects her lifestyle each day.
We often talk about food together so I guess I want to learn what its like to be Diabetic so that when it comes to talking about food and eating with her we are both on the same page. My friend has had type 1 for about a year now and its time I pulled my weight and learnt! I have seen the impact it has had on her and how life changing it is especially for someone at the age of 20.
I will be reading as much as I can about the GI and GL of foods as well as serving sizes etc so that I can really get up to speed and help her out. A steep learning curve I feel its going to be!
So if anyone has any suggestions for me on how and where to look then that would be much appreciated or if there is anyone on here that is in a similar position as me and is helping someone with Diabetes then please feel free to let me know!
Thanks
