  Keto-ish/low carb is the only one that works for me! The ADA guidelines were terrible on my BG, uncontrollable.

  I do not feel good on a really low carb diet, so I go for moderate carbs, but try to make sure to pre bolus which makes a huge difference. Easy to say, however it is not always easy to do! Since I exercise a lot, this works pretty well.

  Not necessarily a pattern, but the only thing that comes to mind is cutting down on heavy fibers. Many foods I used to love don't seem digestible any longer. Legumes are not possible along with seeds and others unless I want to be hypoglycemic. For patterns, I try for my BG to stay a bit above average before bed. I'm not sure if my seizure activity which is higher at night contributes to lower insulin needs at night or not. It is nice to be able not to be awakened by constant hypo alerts.

  Have you ever experienced a frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)?
  Both shoulders, but at different times. Had a great physical therapist who got my right shoulder back to normal (after about a year), but he disappeared during Covid. I've struggled with the left shoulder for several years now as it has gradually returned to near normal, but it's not there yet. I'm tempted to try a new PT person to finish the job, although therapy with a skilled practitioner it is expensive even with insurance. In both cases with my frozen shoulders there was no obvious precipitating cause. My understanding that this condition is not necessarily due to Type 1, but is 4x increased among Type 1s.

  Yes. Physical therapy with applied heat and massage along with stretching exercises helped about 20 years ago. Additionally, I see a chiropractor on a regular basis and the adjustments he does along with deep tissue massage is my go to treatment when it flares up these days.

  Have you ever experienced a frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)?
  Both of my shoulders froze. The first one about 12 years ago and the second one about 8years ago. I had to have release surgery on both of them as they completely froze up and I couldn’t move my arms. The problem is even with physiotherapy and daily stretching they keep trying to freeze. The pain has continued the whole time much like a terrible tooth ache that radiates down my arms. Sleep is often very difficult. I’ve seen 4 surgeon’s, a physiatrist(specialist in joint pain) and an immunologist. They all say that my joint's are continually trying to freeze. Multiple MRI’s and ultrasound is done at most visits. I have now had 46 steroid injections into the shoulder joints and bursa sacks. Unfortunately my hips are now experiencing the same issues.

  Man, oh man. Anybody who experiences pain level 10 knows it feels like "Annie get the gun." I have only experienced level 8, but my wife well knows what it is like. Excruciating pain (8, 9, and 10) is different from 7 or less. Unless you have "been there" it is almost impossible to communicate what the experience is. Best of luck, Lawrence.

  I time my insulin. For most meals I take my insulin 15 - 20 minutes before eating. That way my insulin is peaking about the same time as my carbs. For high-protein and/or high carb meals I reduce the interval.
