I am new in the forum

Good morning,

I just joined this forum.I am type 1 diabetic, diagnosed on Christmas Eve 2019, and I couldn't believe it because in my circle I didn't know anyone with diabetes, or family, or friends.

Until September 30 I have remained from honeymoon and state making practically normal life.I only put me 17 slowly at night and controlling the hydrates had glycos these years between 5.7 and 6.1.The last one has already been 6.9

From the 30th I already started with Novorapid at meals.At the moment little, 2-3-2, and until the end of this month I do not see the nurse to explain the count of rations and others.

For me, even if he debuted almost 3 years ago, it is as if he debuted again.

Greetings to all the members of the forum and thank you very much for what you help those we started.

Welcome to the @sandman forum I hope we can help you, share what you know and ask what you need.

On the honeymoon, if you have lasted 3 years, it seems to me a lot, I think that in that sense you have been very lucky.;)

@Fer Well, it seemed too little to me: D

@Sandman, welcome by the forum.I think as @Fer: Three years are a lot to endure on a honeymoon.And what they have told you, here we are for what you need.Surely you can also contribute a lot.

Welcome!

Good afternoon, @Smartinez, I debuted on December 24, 2019 in the morning and on the 26th I went to see my doctor who prescribed the lantus (in principle only 10 units at night) explained how to prick and until mid -Februarythat the endocrine saw me I had to look for life to assimilate and understand what I had touched.
As I said, I have been making a practically normal life until a month ago, even drinking something on weekends, and eating more or less.I have only varying the slow (Abasaglar) to about 17 units that was putting me lately.
The truth is that I have had "luck", if you can say so, because since this cross has touched me, at least I have had almost 3 years of honeymoon to gradually assimilate everything.I have been able to continue living as before the debut.
Now that I just started with the fast, I am beginning to discover other facets of the disease, such as hypos (I never had any).Last night at 4 in the morning I was still awake because I corrected something after dinner and then began to go down, he stayed at 70 and did not even go to the three: D
The next day I go to the educator to count hydrates and others, which in those 3 years have not yet explained anything on the subject.
A question to the community: the endocrine has put me 14 of Abasaglar at night and 2/3/2 of Novorapid.I notice that I am quite short at almost all meals (I have quite pronounced peaks, especially at breakfast and dinner) can I change these guidelines or should I wait to see it again in mid -January?

@Sandman, the breakfast peaks can be corrected by waiting time, 15 min, for example.If you see that you are still high two hours later, then you would have to upload the quick.

@Sandman breakfast always peak, to avoid or soften them, you have to put the rapid between 20 and 30 min before as @regina says depending on the sensitivity of each one.
If you stay high in meals, it is because you need fast units since between hours only the slow one acts and if you upload it, you may have nocturnal hypoglycemia.As you are very sensitive, it rectifies with 1 units above 180 or more, but will give you hypoglycemia
When you learn to count rations, you will have to keep in mind that for each meal there are different sensibilities for the same portions (grams of HC);The educator will set the sensitivity by ration, for example: 1 ration (10 g of HC) = 1.5 insulin unit at breakfast (ratio 1: 1.5), the same to eat can be 1: 1 and forSwaper 1: 0.5.There are applications for this, you put the values ​​that the educator sets you and when you put what you are going to eat and tell you how many insulin units are needed.(In my case it was with a glucometer)
Over time you will do it by eye, they take a week to control but with the sensor you will have it easy.
Over the years, viruses, bacteria, etc.the ratios change.
