Happy World Diabetes Day (for the 14th November)! I decided to do a "day in the life of a Type 1" food diary to raise awareness of what we have to consider and calculate each mealtime. It was a bit of a yoyo day as far as bloods are concerned! So here are my pictures... Breakfast BG: 11.0mmol/L Carbs: 75g Insulin: 5 units Midday Hypo (almost) BG: 4.1mmol/L Carbs: 20g Lunch BG: 5.4mmol/L Carbs: 75g Insulin: 2 units (reduced by 50% for exercise in afternoon) Dinner BG: 10.3mmol/L (didn't do as much exercise as predicted) Carbs: 120g Insulin: 7 units This all so normal to me now, it surprises me when I realise most of my friends seeing these pictures on Facebook/Twitter don't have to consider any of this. They see a bowl of pasta, I see 70g of carbohydrate. They see a glass of healthy orange juice, I see a substance so sugary it requires an injection. Hopefully now, they will read "Type 1 Diabetes" and see from the same perspective as me.
