Hi folks,
I've been type 1 for 5 1/2 years now and whilst it hasn't been easy I have always been able to carb count 10g of carbs for 1 unit of insulin. It has meant that I could have a treat and control my blood sugars.
for the last month things have changed and I have no idea how much insulin i need. Breakfast is worst. I would always have the same breakfast, branflakes and raisins, and inject 6 units. Now I seem to need 12 units plus. I feel quite ill in the mornings with bloods as high as 20.
I am asking the obvious but I guess my honeymoon period has come to an end and its gutting.
What do other people eat for breakfast?
any advice, common experiences always helpful, thanks
