Hello.I make five meals a day.To know how each of them influence it, I should do a control before each and another control two hours after each.There are 10 daily controls plus the morning if I lie down less than 90 in case it is too effectively.Isn't it exaggerated?Or is it usual?I still do not use quickly although I already have it in the fridge.

I add as a fact that debut in June, and for the moment I was guided by my nurse and the header as the endocrine has given me an appointment for November.I take Januvia two a day and skewer 10 Abasaglar every night.I have innolet 4 before meals if I pass 150, although I have not yet started

To control it well if you should do 10 controls or make less meals.To know how much quickly it is necessary to measure before and then to see if you have succeeded or it is necessary to correct.That without taking into account if you do sports, which would also be good to become minimal before and then.
The truth is that the 5 meals do not see it if you are not hungry, it is to complicate your life.The fewer meals less dose of rapid and less controls but that each one has to value what they prefer.Now that you still do not use fast, if you do mid -morning and snack without hydrates you can not control you.The first days do you to see that you are going well, but if you stay stable then you can go from doing it.But if you use fast you always have to do them not to put the leg.

If you use quickly once you see that you put the necessary doses I do not see necessary to look at glycemia two hours later.If you know what do you control?It takes a long time to hit with the doses, HC that you have to eat, etc. so you have to have a lot of patience.

It is not at all exaggerated to get 10 controls, there are days that if something between the "mandatory" meals can be added between 2 and 4 controls or more.The greater control you have better you will know your body and your diabetes, and this is not 1+1 are 2, even if you do, eat and put yourself exactly the same insulin as the day before.

As @sil totally says, the problem of capillaries that can be produced that we do not observe and that are very important because the peaks are those that damage our veins and organs.
Do you have no chance of accessing a continuous measurement system with alarms?
