Hello,
I am new to the board and wanted to say hi. I have not yet started the SBD (so I've seen it written). I am a Type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetic and not sure if this the right thing for me. I have searched the boards and have only found a few entries on Type 1 diabetics.
So, I was hoping that any of you out there who are type 1 and on the diet can let me know. What are your thoughts, results, experiences, etc.???
How long have you been on it? Did you start on Phase 1? How did you regulate your insulin?
Basically things like that or whatever else you can tell me. I would greatly appreciate it because I am a little confused on what I should do. Thank you for reading and please respond when able. If you wish to email me instead, please feel free.
thanks,
tony |

Tony,
I am also Type 1. I am on an insulin pump. I find going right to Stage 2 SBD is best. You can stay with your regular diabetic diet and make it SB. Eating on the low glycemic index will decrease the amount of insulin you have to take so you must be checking you blood sugar regulary. It would be best to talk to your doctor or dietician before embarking on the SBD. You must consider the type of insulin and times you take it and balance that with your intake of food.

Please check with your doctor first. Hopefully s/he will be well informed about this diet plan. In all probability, you should start on phase 2 if you join us.
I am type 2 diabetic and my doctor recommended this diet. I can't think why it wouldn't be good for type 1 diabetics also.
SBD is basically teaching healthy eating habits which helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and can (and usually does) lead to weight loss.
Good luck! |

Preventing Diabetes with Exercise
The following Daily Dish is part of a series for American Diabetes
Month
According to the National Institutes of Health, being overweight or
obese is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Reducing your body
weight can reduce your risk of developing diabetes, and the best way
to lose weight—besides a healthy diet—is by participating in a
regular exercise program.
In response to a landmark study known as the Diabetes Prevention
Program, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) created an
initiative to encourage those at risk of diabetes to make healthy
lifestyle changes. The NIH recommends that people with pre-diabetes
(higher-than-normal blood sugar but not yet diabetes) participate in
30 minutes of exercise five days a week.
Acceptable physical activities can be as simple as walking the dog or
taking the stairs instead of the elevator. For more information,
