It’s not fun! And sometimes just flat out scares me. The hardest thing about my protein issue is A LOT of things with protein have cholesterol in them. Dairy products, eggs, and other things. It’s difficult sometimes. I have been a cardiac patient for over 2 years now. Thank you though. I actually ignore the protein part and I know I shouldn’t. I need to do searches and find what is high in protein. I typically forget, besides peanut butter! You are lucky to have a doctor who also is Type 1. Envy you there! Sometimes it’s just way better to get advice and help from someone who can relate. And thank you good luck to you as well! Mine went fantastic! =D
