It is normal during the honeymoon period (first months after diagnosis) and especially with the constant readjustment of medication.

Take controls every hour!I think it is excessive and not necessary.
Get a control before eating and the next at 2 or 3 hours.And that's it.If you do controls in the midst of digestion (what we call the postpandral) can anything come out.You have to wait after eating between 2-3 h.And of course get a control just before sleeping.

If you can ask your endocrine to prescribe a sensor.You will improve the quality of life and your fingers will thank you.

Greetings and do not hesitate to ask all the doubts you have.At first it is not easy.I have been 2 years and I'm still a rookie
