Hey NS,

Just wondering if any of you guys are also Type 1 Diabetic.

It's really not too much different than what you would expect. Just bring a few Clif bars or some snacks to eat throughout the day. It'll drop your blood sugar a decent amount because your muscles are working pretty hard. Just remember to keep up with it and if you feel a little low to eat something. Eat a solid breakfast too before and dont take as much insulin as you normally would. Not really sure what type of insulin your taking but if you take something for a long period of time like Lantus cut back a little on that for that day too.

Im on NPH and Humalog. I was only diagnosed this year so I still fairly used to this disease and what I did was cut my insulin down 3 units. What I usually did before starting off the day is buying a sandwich and having a little bit of juice and that usually lasts' me until a little before lunch.

Do you keep your insulin the same or are you on a pump?

no real advice, but my close friend has type 1 diabetes and shreds hard, so if you were worried about it limiting your skiing, you shouldn't. The only thing i can advise is if you dont already have a medical bracelet, get one before the season, because if you happen to seriously injure yourself on the hill you want the ski patrol to know about your diabetes because it can seriously mess with your levels (i imagine your doctor has explained this to you already, but thought i would post it just in case)

Really useful thing. Thanks. Should advise it to my friend. Besides, physical exercises are really helpful for your well-being, especially if you have diabetes. Moreover, it goes alongside balanced diet. A friend of mine suffers from diabetes. We were consulting some sources in order to balance our diet and in general to feel healthier. He came across Halki Diabetes Remedy program on https://fruitfulkitchen.org/ and book itself and it's really impressive. He decided to download this program appealed to the fact that there are healthy recipes, natural ingredients implied, also physical exercises planned. I've tried it with him to encourage him and show that all of us need sometimes to reduce the number of unwanted toxins in the organism. Advise you to try this, the result for me as well for my friends were just incredible! I lost a little bit weight and now I feel even happier!
