Hello. I first posted in this forum before a few days after my diagnosis. http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/118265/ At that time, my HbA1C was 13.2% and had Diabetic Ketoacidosis. I took another HbA1c ten days ago and… It was 5.6%. I did put some conscious effort in learning my...

Type 1 here. 81mg/dL (4.5 mmol/l).

Will add that to my list. Great idea. Will definitely keep that in mind. I expect to have interviews with professors more than HR people from companies. I plan stay in academia and do academic research. I currently focus on Space technology and published a couple of papers as of now. I was in...

That is scary. I am trying my best not to frequently use the same injection sites. I am planning to try the i-Port advance. Do you think it'll easily cause lumps because it'll be stuck at the same spot for 3 days? Great. I started doing it already.

My doses are high because my stomach is currently a bottomless pit. I'm eating about twice the amount of food that anyone in my family eats. I'm sure it will reduce after the constant hunger subsides. I think the sting is easier to bear than two injections.

There are no DAFNE centers in India. However, with some research, I found an alternative: BERTIE Type 1 Diabetes Education Programme (www.bertieonline.org.uk) I'm not sure if I can persuade my hospital to become a DAFNE center, but I'll try. If I can't, I'll do BERTIE.

@azure Tried it with my Lantus. It does ease the pain. Lantus still stings after injecting, though. Probably because of its acidic pH. Thanks for the tip! :)

Yes, I am.

Ah! Thank you! Will try in a while and let you know.

Thank you for the reply. It does feel like high maintenance to keep up with the BG testing, insulin shots, and carb counting but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I hope to get a pump when I start earning. I actually have to pinch skin because I have little fat in my body. I feel like it hurts more...

Thanks for the encouraging words. I will definitely read the book.

I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago. I was DKA during diagnosis and had HbA1c of 13%. :arghh:

Thanks for the response @azure . The doctor is monitoring my diet and the CGM readings and said they would tell me my Insulin sensitivity, I:C ratio, and carb counting after the sensor's life ends. I did hear about that book before. I am currently reading "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution" and...

Hello This is the first time I am posting here. I am 21 year old engineering student who was diagnosed as type 1 diabetes 2 weeks ago. I was DKA by the time I reached the hospital. I am now on multiple injection therapy (3 rapid acting (Humalog) before meals, and one long acting (Lantus) before...
