I’m in the type 1 category too 🙂

Hey guys,

I was diagnosed with diabetes type-1 around 6 year back. At that time I was in class 10, and next year I’ll be passing out of my college (post-graduating in biotechnology). And till now in my friends circle hardly 2/3 people know about this darker side of my life. This is the first time that I’m sharing my D-life publicly…

I share the same reasons with some other members of this forum…I have noticed my friends/family members not eating sweets while they are hanging out with me. And that is why I haven’t disclosed this to anyone in the college.

I’m not weak, in fact I walk and trek more than any of my friends without even resting or drinking water for hours (BTW my recent trekking was at Cherrapunjee – wettest place on Earth :). But one of my weak points is my physique. I’m too thin, I lost more than 20 kilos initially and till now I haven;t able to meet my recommended BMI values.
I stand answerless when people ask me for being so thin!!!

Can somebody please help me out?…..how to put on weight if we can’t have those fat-converting xtra calories?
