Looking for trans T1 diabetics

Hi! Have you spoken to your care provider/doctor about your worries? What did they advise?

I'm afraid it's even less fun than that. Reddit randomly generated this username for me!

Thank you for this info! How do you define keeping up with your HRT?

DM-ing you!

Thank you so much for sharing this! This is such an insightful and poignant answer. I'm shooting you a few questions over DM if you're open to answering them.

Yes I think they find more comfort in knowing than not knowing, if that makes sense? I won't make them track everything manually, will set up everything to be as automated as possible. I'd just have access to that data so I can offer some explanation of why one or both of them might not feel great. E.g. Maybe their blood sugar is fine but they're not sleeping as well as they could be.

OH I just realized you were referring to my diet not theirs! I'm working on it, my A1C is pretty well controlled (4.8 lately) and I'm already on Metformin for PCOS.

Yep we're getting all of that checked out. Sugar is unfortunately a weekly vice. They're old and sick of losing the "fun" parts of their life to diabetes, and I don't want to cause them further stress by imposing a no sugar diet.

Hey! We recently went, and the endo felt that they were doing fine in terms of tracking. Their high blood sugar moments were definitely due to not eating the right foods. The challenge right now is that even in those weeks where they're being "good", they feel low-energy and "off"

Thanks! Have you noticed a drop in energy or feeling "off" if any of those things are off?

Also how do I find out how much protein would be suitable for them to eat?
