Since being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, my daily routines have changed dramatically. It took me quite some time to get used to it. In the beginning, my main focus was changing my diet, exercising more, and trying to remember to take my Metformin each day. Taking the pill was hard, but it turned out that I needed insulin therapy as I was not a type II.
These days my focus continues to be exercise, insulin therapy (via insulin pump), and - the hardest part - nutrition. For me, keeping track of what I eat can at times be near impossible. I know what it is I should be eating and I know that whilst I can treat myself, I should limit myself. I seem to always believe I am hungry though I understand it is all in my head. Because of my over eating, I have to inject more insulin, which makes it hard for weight loss and blood glucose control.
Something I am proposing to myself today is to each day replace one of my unhealthy snacks for a healthier one. It is a small change, but it is one that will not only make a large difference in the end, but should also lead to my replacing more of my unhealthy snacks in the day with healthier ones. Maybe replace some of those snacks altogether with something else, such as a short bout of exercise?
