A good way to educate people even more is to try to use the word carbohydrates, as people can learn that sugars are carbohydrates (even though not all carbohydrates are sugar) and it won't seem as bad. It's typical that some might think kids get type I diabetes for eating too much sugar, even in Finland where type I diabetes is most common in the world. Old people go around saying that "You wouldn't have diabetes if you had eaten less sugar as a child".
And one thing, if you have type I diabetes, have you ever used a Freestyle Libre? :)
yes @apsu i have type 1 and yes i used this several times and my doctor is also recommend me this its seems so great to read all the pieces of advice and suggessions that you give me thanks alot i will look on it what ever you guide me again i say thanks for your time
Out of interest, as I have type 1 diabetes too, what is your HbA1c or similar value depending on what you are using? :)
With my last hba1c being 8.0, he was possibly giving me something realistic to aim at, but it is a number that comes up frequently in relation to t1's.
8.0 not is not as bad as it could be :) I've been a around 8 too, a bit below or above. I hope you'll get even better values in the future!
thanks alot for your carings and all this thanks alot so sweet of you
While it's not an average value (but possibly based on averages, as quite a lot of recommendations are), my doctor also said that 7.5 would be an ideal level for a t1 diabetic.
@apsu thanks alot for you such care no body ask me so far like this this is your greatness that you care about me and ask me about my disease and i hope you also like my posts on different yopics it will be my honor @apsu
Thanks, I will look through your posts :)
