Yea basal/bolus. When I was first diagnosed I did great was down to a low 6 I thought I had it all down but was never really taught nutrition. I stopped watching and that’s where I let it get out of hand. Now my insulin is a base amount on a sliding scale, but if I’m not watching I can’t really...

So from reading a lot of the different topics on here it seems like y’all have better educating then we do over here. I was diagnosed with late onset at age 18 and was given my insulin and told briefly what numbers to watch and sent on my way. With the big difference in education I was wondering...

I’ve recently noticed numb and tingling in my sides and also some side stitches every so often, blood sugar levels normal, just seeing if anyone has ever experienced this, I’m waiting on an appointment with my endo and am about to set one up with my general doctor just thought I’d get input from...

I was wondering everyone's opinion on the dexcom. I have insurance but at first it doesn't cover as much until I reach my deductible. I was just wondering if anyone has tried it and what they thought of it? Thanks!!

Thanks everyone, and I'm usually real good until the dr visit and my numbers are not where I was thinking they would be. But recently I went and they have gone down. My A1C is at an 8.0 which isn't great but it was a little higher. Thanks for all the advise

Im 21 and was diagnosed when I was 18. I thought I had it under control but every time I go in for my check up my insulin gets upd or lowered and it takes me a little while to get it back in order. Then some times it just straight up depresses me. I really just need someone to be able to talk to...
