Wow, this is awesome. My friend has had Type 1 diabetes for 25 years. She is way overweight (5'5" @ 252#'s)and eats poorly plus drinks plenty of alcohol. Recently she went to a Naturopath would scared her half to death by telling her she's a heart attack waiting to happen. I am trying to help her with a diet change, exercise program, only 6 ounces of wine daily and threw out her Herbal Life shakes. This all happened two weeks ago and she did lose 7 #'s immediately. She has a pump and receives a basal dose of 34 units with 7-9 units after meals. Her BS has come down about 50% of her readings, but she is getting reading from 60 in the early morning to 350 at night. She's frustrated and so am I.
