Hello AlucardDoby,
Welcome to Health Central! You've found a great resource on the web for information and community! While the information here is not meant to take the place of your doctor's advice, it is good to have when it's time to ask questions of your doctor to manage your healthcare.
You might already know all of this information but it's good to read through it from time to time. Here is a great database that tells you exactly what diabetes is. A full overview of Type 1 Diabetes is located here. How it affects your body and the changes you need to make in your lifestyle. Finding out about the medication you are taking will help you manage your care and determine if you are having adverse symptoms as a result of the diabetes or the medications you are on. You can check your symptoms here in the the symptoms database. Could be you are experiencing symptoms that you think are diabetes related but turns out they are not. Likewise, you might be having symptoms that ARE diabetes related that you didn't think were related. Treatment varies from person to person and you can see the latest in diabetes treatment here.
There are also resident experts here on the site who are very informative to read, and they lend a different perspective on having diabetes and dealing with the disease.
David Mendosa has posted many articles talking about the latest news and technology for treating Diabetes. You can read his articles here. In particular, David has developed a glycemic index that will help you in choosing a diet/menu that will best suit your needs. You can find the Glycemic index here.
Dr Bill Quick is the resident medical professional and gives alot of great advice about dealing with diabetes first hand here in his posts.
Gretchen Becker reminds us to laugh despite the situation and how bleak it seems. I always get a laugh and a smile out of her perspective on life. Gretchen wrote an article called The Golden Age that I found amusing. You can read the article here. You can read all of Gretchen's postings here.
Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing. If you are having a good day, let us know! Perhaps someone reading will benefit from your experiences. But if you are having a rough day, let us know that too! There might be someone in the community who knows exactly what you are going through and they might have some advice that will help you.
Take care and be well!!
