A big milestone
Countdown to my 50 year diaversary
Living with type 1 diabetes for over 50 years has come with plenty of highs and lows! In anticipation of reaching my 50 year diaversary, I wrote a series of blogs every 4 weeks, looking at a very specific aspect of the condition, from both my perspective and that of family and friends.
32 weeks and counting: Food
With 32 weeks to go, I look at the challenges that type 1 has caused with my relationship to food. At diagnosis in the 1970s, I was on a fixed amount of carbohydrate at set times of the day to match insulin injected. Choice was removed from this equation.
