  Have you (or your loved one with T1D) been diagnosed with retinopathy?
  Diagnosed with very mild about a year ago. Had frequent follow ups and it has been fine ever since.

  Scored my lowest A1C in December- 6.8, usually around 7.2 T1D since 1970 with no complications.

  36 years of T1D. 26 years of being an insulin pump patient. Moved to a different state and found a new T1D care provider I like. A1c stayed in the 6s! w00t!!

  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,

  @wanacure : CGM (Dexcom), Tandem pump, but no IQ. My alerts are 70 and 110, with target 90. I set this soon after diagnosis as I would get a headache by 120 and if I couldn't get it down quickly, migraines ensued by 130, by 150 I'm in pain. I have to act quickly. Eating keto-ish low carb per Dr Bernstein (not fad keto) made an enormous difference. No sugar alcohols ever, no artificial sweeteners ever. I weigh out most of my food for precision, carb-protein-fat in same proportion per meal. Extended bolus. I eat almost no grains, ever, I just don't tolerate those carbs well at all. I call restaurants a week ahead to check ingredients, amounts, etc. I also use Semaglutide to tamp down excess glucagon (wow, huge difference!) and Low Dose Naltrexone (mostly for my rheumatic autoimmunes, but it helps reduce my insulin needs somehow!). Walks, hikes, strengthening, yoga, when I can. A lot of attention and work, but with 5 autoimmunes...I need to, if I want to retire someday and enjoy it.

  if you want something for neuropathy, try alpha lipoic acid. my endo is NOT a vitamin guy since they aren't regulated. he's not fond of IF either but since it made the change in my A1C from 6.8/7.0 down to mid 5's, he lives with it.

  Using multiple daily injections (MDI), diet and some exercise (walking to grocery store, e.g.), after 63 years of T1D, November 2022 my A1c was 6.1 (128 mg/dl). Not unusual for me. Still cannot believe I’m 79 in a few months. Still walk with no cane. No complications except a little neuropathy in both feet, but no pain. Maybe there IS something to Western Medicine? I’ll keep reading your advice so I can maintain (increase?) muscle mass percentage of my body weight AND get A1C below 6.0.

  IF = Intermittent Fasting? Only 500 calories per day? My doctors would freak out if I even dreamed about that. Does your doctor suggest adding a daily vitamin/mineral pill?

  Please share again how you do this. With a CGM and pump? Or CGM and a pod? And? Or?

  My sense of balance deteriorated, despite practicing one-legged exercise with hands above kitchen counter, so I only can use gym stationary bike for aerobic. I wonder if my loss of balance is connected to my needing hearing aids? Having to stop and start at intersections and crosswalks while biking on street I could never get heart rate high enough for much aerobic benefit, but it felt good and saved on gasoline.

  In 2022 I wanted to learn more about Type 1 Diabetes and Menopause. Thanks to the support of members of the community who are experiencing this life stage I was able to collect data for analysis. The analysis was then written up as a paper and I had the privilege of presenting this at the 9th International Electronic Conference on Sensors and Applications in November 2022.
