I have been trying to get my type 1 diabetes on track again. After 38 years of injecting insulin? It surprises me that i still need help with this. I’ve been lucky. Using what i would call loose control, i’ve managed to avoid complications so far. But for the last two months, i’ve been trying to get aligned with a new diabetes support team. Endless food journaling, finger stick blood sugars, insulin calculations. I thought i was learning and doing better. But my team took the reigns from me on decision making. And as soon as they did? I lost control of my blood sugars again.
So who exactly is the expert here? The guy who has kept himself alive for 38 years? Or younger people than me that have less or zero direct experience managing insulin diet and blood sugars? I am trying to keep an open mind. But having watched my sugars my whole life? I think i know how i respond to the insulin better than they do...
The first pic shows the first half a day on their new dosing. The second is how i performed with my dosing. And the third shows how whacked their recommendations are after 24 hrs.
