type 1 diabetic newbie

[jonquil]

hi everyone!! I've been reading the boards for awhile, but finally decided to register. I started on August 15 after getting fed up w/ the way I was eating. I'm a type 1 diabetic (on the pump) and I know I was putting my health at risk. Since starting I have seen a dramatic change in my blood sugar readings. I've never felt so in control. I love it!!

I've been sticking w/ the extended induction and so far so good.

hi Jonquil, welcome to ADBB! Have you visited the Diabetes forum yet? There are a lot of people here who are controlling their diabetes through the Atkins WOL.

Thanx ValidRouge: I'll go have another look.

**Tomorrow I have a dress fitting for my brother's wedding. I just hope that the dress fits me...dumb me ordered the dress in a smaller size in hopes that I would be a smaller size at the wedding. Why oh why do we torment ourselves??

Torment? Nah. It is a good goal though to get in that size of a dress. If you do like Dr. A says you will be in that dress and smaller!

That's what I'm counting on.
