  Jan - you and I were given the same poor advice by our ‘diabetologist’. It’s a-shame they were so short sighted, so I am glad we have proved them wrong!

  In 1968 I was diagnosed with brittle diabetes. We had no technology to help us day to day; no glucometers, no insulin pumps. , no CGMs and no A1c. Our prognoses were incredibly slim and negative. The advice given was eat right, take your insulin and don’t exercise too much. Had there been good advice, it should have been ‘eat minimal carbohydrates’, ‘try to keep your urine sugar as low as possible’ and ‘adopt an active lifestyle to help metabolize the food eaten.’ Most of all ‘keep a positive attitude!’ I developed each of these practices and have been free of complications the entire time. With today’s technology we have the tools to out live all of our non-diabetic peers. Keep your chin up and live!!!
