I am a 28 F that was diagnosed with type 1 (maybe a hybrid according to dr.) diabetes a year ago. I am on a fast acting and long acting insulin and have been on and off with actually testing my blood and taking my shots since then. I recently decided to do something about this and be active with my monitoring and eating habits, so I thought I would join this nifty forum for support. I just went to the endo today and my A1C was 14, which I read is "suicidal." So apparently it’s time to start being firm. I am starting to get back to the gym and I am going to try and eat a bit better, and let me just say how nervous I am about the 20 pounds my doctor said I will most likely put on when my A1C comes down to goal. And on top of that I am reading that you shouldnt work out if you b/s is too high. Man, things were a lot easier without diabetes, but no more living in denial!!
