Hello!I am new in the forum and I want to introduce myself.
Before congratulating you.The exchange of information here is fantastic.
I debuted in the DM1 9 years ago (with 36).Since then, let's say I have gone through four phases.
1A.- Treaty only with basal insulin (Levemir) + Diet !!(despite being quite thin) and with an endocrinologist who resisted believing that he had type 1 diabetes.
2A.- Treaty with Levemir (for me it meant: Very abrupt hypoglycemia) and Novorapid.And this time with the support of the team of a day hospital.So far I had good glycosylated values.
3A.- Supported by the same team but with a phase in which I neglected my controls.My glycosiladas were always between 8-9.I continued with Levemir and Novorapid.
4th.- Finally, I have been able to have my glycosylated between 6.9-7.2 approx.The improvement came in part because of the change of basal insulin (I went from a lesspress to Lantus).By having my hypoglycemia, I gave greater confidence to insulin and increased my motivation when controls.
I think I have reached a point where my control is better than ever.However, and now that I have a routine, and therefore it does not imply a great effort I would like to optimize these values, since when you enter this forum, I have discovered that these values are good, but they could be better !!!;)
Soon I have an appointment with my endocrinologist and I would like to take an active part and propose..
So you can help me give you a little more information:
- I inject every night Lantus (24/25/26).That is, adjust if necessary.
- For each food injectorpid (according to HC intake).A ration of HC goes up about 50 sugar (I need an insulin unit)
In the morning I get up with good values (between 70-90).However, where I see that I can improve the controls is just after meals.Both after breakfast, and sometimes after lunch and dinner.If I control after an hour of the intake, I realize that I am about 190. Then I get almost always well to the next meal, but it seems to me that if I control this peak I could improve my glycosiladas.
For example: in the morning Breakfast 100 gr.of bread with some jam (really very little and with little sugar content) and butter.I inject 5 you of Novorapid.After an hour I usually be about 190. After three hours, however, I sometimes need to take half banana to reach food time since sometimes I already have a slight hypoglycemia.
I usually eat with each of the meals a piece of fruit.I think this peak could be due to fruit.But I would like to know if there is any way to reduce the beak without giving up eating fruit.
Does anyone come up with an idea?
Thanks and see you soon!
