Hello everyone, my name is Allan and I was just recently diagnose with type 1 in May of this year. It's been a struggle for me but I think that I'm coming to terms of it. It still gets to me specially when I start to feel some kind of complications that I've never experienced prior to diagnosis. It's irritating considering now that I have control of my glucose, why do I feel all these pains in my body. My A1c was 12. I'm due to my two months checkup on August 1st. I am hoping that I have made a big improvement. Based on my sugar levels, I have not exceeded the normal range. I am trying to be more proactive regarding this disease. I have joined several forums hoping to learn more information about diabetes. I have found some that help me cope. I figured that the more I reach out, the better off I'd be. Truly being diabetic is a lifelong struggle. So many things I have to adjust. Before, I could eat anything w/o limitations. Now, everything is limited. I'm not so sure as far as how to handle this. I am taking 3 units of humalog before breakfast and lunch and 4 units before dinner...down from 6 units two months ago. Then I take 10 units of Lantus before bedtime, down from 15 units. I am hoping to get to know more people who have the same illness and perhaps I could be a sponge from everyone by learning their experiences and how they cope.
Every info counts as it's an added knowledge to me. Thanks everyone.
