  I want to make sure I do Control My Blood Sugars a lot better than I have been. Lose more weight and exercise more.

  Still hoping for a cure after having T1D for 64 years. I never hear anything about a cure anymore, or new research findings on a cure.

  My goal is to do the best I can! I would love to lose a few pounds and learn more of how to bolus to keep my after-meal numbers level.

  To get healthier, all around, inside and out. Also to stop rebounds of high and low.

  Wanacure: I had responded to your two comments directly from my email. I hope you got them. Thank you so much for the time and thought you put into your reply. I appreciate it. I will certainly incorporate some of your ideas. Thank you. Yes, bike riding does not raise my heart rate enough, unless I stand up and pump as hard as I can for as long as I can. But, I have damaged my bike doing that. That's my problem, I push myself beyond my limits. But, we must keep on moving forward and doing what we can to improve our lives. Best wishes,

  Odd. My Endocrinologists have wanted me to keep my A1C's a bit higher to avoid low blood sugars.

  I always try for better blood sugars/A1C each new year. This year, I am adding Time in Range!

  When I pointed out to my endocrinologist that A1c lab results above 5.7 are marked with red exclamation points by default, and our goal.should be to get A1c below 5.7, she said she “understood my confusion,” BUT…. Arguing with her & my dietitian just increases my stress hormones. :-(

  Healthy fats are avocados, walnuts, almonds, seeds, nut butter, seed butter, olive oil. I even eat eggs, yoghurt and cheese. Fats help me feel satiated. I avoid hydrogenated fats often present in margarines, and any product with palm oil. Seldom eat red meats and deep fat cooked foods. Grass-fed beef w/o nitrates or nitrites or added hormones are supposedly safer. But wild-caught salmon and sardines are rich in heathy omega-3 fats. I avoid yoghurts with corn syrup, honey, “fruit,” etc.

  Lawrence, when I had a broken hip I got some physical therapy exercises to maintain strength and flexibility. When I was healed enough, I got a pedaling machine that I could use while seated in a chair. It had a readout of calories, expended, time, and total number of cycles in a workout. Doctors encouraged me to exercise, exercise, exercise! I started with a walker in my house, then ventured onto the lawn, then across the street, then 1/2 block, then 1 block, finally around the block…step by step, day by day, gradual incremental progress. I had help from generous neighbors (immigrants). I used the walker and accessible county buses equipped with retractable ramps, often used for wheelchairs, to get around. Finally I just needed a cane, then not even that. Then I alternated seated rowing machine with elliptical and stationary bike plus weights and yoga at local Y: this was pre-Covid. Hope to get back to gym during days and periods of least clients. Like early early morning or mid-morning or mid-afternoon? Have you tried swimming laps? Or doing yoga in a swimming pool?

  All I want to do is get back in my “diabetes groove”, by which I mean Pods/boluses work as expected so that I am not having to correct and “catch up” as often. On a more positive note, I signed up for a meditation class run by and for T1Ds.

  Like many others have said I too would like to increase my time in range and avoid problems with low blood sugar events.

  Symlin can work very well for so many! I hope it works well for you. One if its creators was my Endo for years. I didn't have luck with it, though I tried for a year - it was too inconsistent of a response for me.

  1. Maintain my TIR, and A1C <5.5% 2. More advocacy for T1D rights and cure research.

  Would like a steady blood sugar. I have been seeing my endocrinologist monthly so let’s hope it happens.

  Any 2023 accomplishment will be dependent upon good diabetes control, so every goal is diabetes-related! I do plan to bike 100 miles in a JDRF destination ride this year, after a 3-year layoff.
