Type 1 diabetes

Figured I’d bore you all with my newbie experiences with my
dietician. If you do nod off, don’t let your head hit your keyboard.
Faxed my food, bs, and insulin logs in to the dietician. I was
expecting a long lecture about my eating. I’ve kept the carbs low,
but sometimes at the expense of weirdness. Like early morning
sausage patty parties. Probably not good for me in other ways, but
low in carbs!
Then there was the question about the 6 servings of low-fat pudding.
I had to. I explained it as a typo. I had adjusted my shot
accordingly, so…. it was a treat, right?
All but one day a week I brownbag my lunch. A few weeks ago we
bought 30 about 1-cup sized Tupperware cups. Once a week I fill them
all with home-prepared fat-free Jello. It’s cheaper than the pre-
packaged stuff, and a borderline obsession for me. The dietician
noticed not because it’s bad for me, but because I seem to be

addicted to black cherry Jello.
The grilling days are upon us, so I expect a lecture about the
amount of meat I eat. Guess I’ll have to cut back on the serving
sizes. I also grill my veggies, so it’s not like I’m just eating
steak or burgers. But I would.
Anyway, if you’re still awake, I know many of you have been through
this much more than I. I had feared that I would get the dietician-
from-hell, but I guess not. I could probably use a few lectures, but
give them to me slowly Anyone got a dietician that hounds them
constantly or are they all as easy going (pretty much) as mine?
Take care,
Mike
