Struggling with Type 1 Diabetes?

Type 1 Diabetes is a difficult condition to live with. It seems as though you never get a break from monitoring your blood sugar, keeping track of numbers, watching your carb and sugar intake, and keeping up with medication. It can be a struggle, even if you are following your diet and medication regimen to a T. If you are struggling with managing your type 1 diabetes, this blog is for you. Keep reading to learn more about managing type 1 diabetes and how a Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Trial can help you finally get things under control.

Diet and Exercise

As you are well aware by now, your diet is very important when it comes to managing type 1 diabetes. Maintaining a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and protein is very important in managing your blood sugar, as well as limiting foods that are processed, high in carbs, and sugary.

Exercising is also a great way to lower your blood sugar. Even going on a simple walk for 10-15 minutes can significantly reduce your blood sugar level. Maintaining an exercise routine will help your body control blood sugar more naturally and improve insulin sensitivity.

Medication and Education

If you have type 1 diabetes, there is a pretty good chance that you are taking insulin, as well. There are other medications that can go along with insulin to manage type 1 diabetes, including high blood pressure medication.

In addition to following and tweaking your current medication routine, it is important to stay educated on type 1 diabetes to understand what your body is going through.

If you have type 1 diabetes, your pancreas doesn’t make insulin or makes very little insulin. Insulin helps blood sugar enter the cells in your body for use as energy. Without insulin, blood sugar can’t get into cells and builds up in the bloodstream. High blood sugar is damaging to the body and causes many of the symptoms and complications of diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes was once called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes. It often develops in children, teens, and young adults, but it can happen at any age. Type 1 diabetes is less common than type 2—about 5-10% of people with diabetes have type 1. Currently, no one knows how to prevent type 1 diabetes, but it can be managed successfully.
