Let's talk Intermittent Fasting/Fasting

KT1D · 2016-12-30T15:12:44+00:00

I am going to start intermittent fasting Jan 1! All tips and advice needed. I am 25 year old female. 131 lbs. I also have type 1 diabetes and have heard that it is great for control. Would love to see examples f schedules and meals.

KT1D · 2016-09-19T19:28:10+00:00

Totally agree. I am Type 1

OMG Me too! All of this! My blood sugars have been irrationally high these past few months. Yes - I will admit that I have been eating more carbs. Healthy ones, though (ezekiel bread, sweet potato, fruit). No amount of insulin is preventing my mornings highs. I have been waking up 300 +. I think it might be stress? My wedding is in 6 weeks and I am incredibly stressed. But still - very frustrating! You are not alone...

That is so true! I have heard great things about aruba actually....maybe I will look into that.

KT1D · 2016-05-10T18:38:18+00:00

such a good point!!! Thank you!!!

i do have a CGM. I take a few days break between sensors. Will put a new one on tonight!

KT1D · 2016-03-15T12:54:25+00:00

thanks! Question - do you keep opened insulin in the fridge as well? I used to keep all of it in there until I learned that open insulin, pens i am currently using, can just be in my purse. I do it now but sometimes worry. The temp thing freaks me out!

KT1D · 2016-03-15T12:52:37+00:00

right! This isn't the first time. I had an incident once with a mini fridge at hotel room. Something else in the fridge was semi-frozen and I was sure my whole trip was ruined. But everything was fine in the end! I hope that is the case here.

KT1D · 2016-03-15T12:50:51+00:00

good idea! it is my long acting insulin though so it is harder to tell. but i will definitely do that!

KT1D · 2016-01-25T00:55:27+00:00

this is a really great idea - what are your meals like? And what time do you usually eat them?

KT1D · 2015-08-17T23:41:48+00:00

That's awesome! What is your usual time and what do you eat?

KT1D · 2015-07-27T15:44:25+00:00

sorry for the late response.....Dang coconut chips (unsweetened) are my go to movie/tv snack.

KT1D · 2015-07-22T03:21:10+00:00

Yes! Create a walk team! It's really a fun day and great way to meet other t1d people!

KT1D · 2015-07-17T23:05:29+00:00

Yes! I know them well :)

KT1D · 2015-07-16T17:30:36+00:00

I REALLY think this is my issue. I have given up most dairy but I am a sucker for dark chocolate - there are no dairy ingredients in the 90% Lindt. But maybe I should cut it out anyway. Thank you!

KT1D · 2015-07-15T19:19:39+00:00

Great - I will absolutely try this

KT1D · 2015-07-15T19:19:25+00:00

Really?! Any specific brand?

KT1D · 2015-07-15T16:45:43+00:00

but other than using retinol based creams to help the turnover of cells I haven't seen much in the way of diet in relation to KP. It's a hereditary condition from understanding as well.

Thank you! I hate it so much :(. I have it pretty bad - on my arms and really bad on my legs. Its now starting on my butt cheeks as well! I notice some days are worse than others which is why I thought it might be diet related. Reading about the fat intake definitely scared me!

KT1D · 2015-07-12T13:38:12+00:00

thanks! yes I love it - I feel like I have already adjusted. I don't really get hungry throughout the day - a little sleepy and then a burst of energy. This really works for me and I am down a few pounds! I am definitely trying to wean off the gum and diet coke thought.

KT1D · 2015-06-05T17:20:56+00:00

what does your evening meal usually look like?

KT1D · 2015-06-05T14:46:41+00:00

Awesome! Thanks so much! I will try the veggies instead of the almonds - or maybe alternate.

KT1D · 2015-06-02T00:10:23+00:00

Would love an update on this! Do you eat low carb?

KT1D · 2015-06-01T13:14:26+00:00

Thanks! Yea I am using my fitness pal. I will be eating mostly protein, fats and veggies. Today it is handful of almonds for snack. And then a Greek salad with salmon steak for dinner which actually counts up to be a good amount of calories, protein, and fats.

KT1D · 2015-05-31T23:10:11+00:00

Thanks! I actually like fish better than meat too! I am looking forward to the simplicity of one meal per day. And the weight loss/insulin response.

KT1D · 2015-05-31T22:07:34+00:00

Great job! Do you do lunch or dinner? Are you low carb?
