myth: eating too much sugar produces type 1 diabetes.
Reality: Type 1 diabetes is caused by a self-immune system disorder, which causes the body to attack and destroy beta cells, the insulin producing cells of the pancreas, causing a sudden increase in glucose levels.Sugar consumption is not related to the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes does not mean sad meals
If someone in the family suffers from diabetes, he will know that one of the pillars to cope with it is food.Diet is a five -letter word that in principle may sound to restriction, but that does not m...

Mandril, handling the quick, of course you can eat everything, have you told you in the hospital?

Well, sincerely, they didn't tell me.I had to reason it based on giving the coconut.Now that one knows that the subject is going, I do not cut a hair.Breakfast my cereals, like what I want and when I want.Of course, the only thing I avoid are the shakes, juices and soft drinks.From the rest nothing.
What surprises me is how much misinformation, even in professionals in the sector, there is in health.I still think that the information is not renewed and there are even doctors who tell you to eat at the same time.Recycling man !!XD

They didn't tell me either.In fact they gave me a diet to eat the same every day, and not to think about getting out of it!And nonsense "you can't eat mold bread so stop breakfast toast."But I knew that was not so, so I started reading and informing myself on my own and it is how I learned.But in the hospital they have not taught me anything.It is a shame.

When they diagnosed me, they didn't tell me anything, they gave me some guidelines where I ate by calories instead of portions, that is, the same thing I had a piece of cheese as a plate of rice if they had the same calories andThey sent home with a NPH so you can imagine the lack of control, impressive descents and the climbs because the same.
The following year I was lucky that I changed my house and therefore from hospital (23 years ago, now we chose hospital) and say with an educator, who luckily took interest in their work, to train and help and helpthat heaven opened me and taught me to play with the food including sweets, my tail-cao of all the Dïas (Q with 12 years is appreciated)

That is why I asked. There are many professionals who continue with the same ideas of 30 years ago, without taking into account the action of the new insulins, with which you can get much better adhesion to treatment, without so many restrictions.

Well, I have more or less the same experience as you.They gave me the typical brochure with things of the type "avoid sweets, eat vegetables, lean meat ..." and they did not show me to count rations or anything.Moreover, I never got to talk to an educator.If it had not been online and forums like this the truth is that it would have had a lot of bad.

The other day I had a visit with the endo;Well, she is a young girl, and I stayed stone when she told me that to be well I had to eat always more or less the same, and the cigar who hit me when I told her that San José's day had eaten some chocolate fritters:"That you carry bomb does not mean that you can eat everything, when you eat with your family you take you, because they are not diabetic and you do": -S However the educator tells me the opposite, that since I have the apparatusThat you use it for whatever it is, that we are "normal" people but handling the pancreas.So between the two they have me bewildered

Belefe, that doctor is a bitter, haha, or only knows of type2.Pay attention to the educator who knows more of type1,

I think that but then when I turn my bomb and see that I ignore it .......

The important thing is that hemo goes well.It is the one that counts.
