Hello, I’ve been type 1 for around 8months now, have really good control and over everything is going well and I’m happy! however recently I have went from taking 4 units of fast acting insulin to 20 units for the same meal. To my understanding I just thought my honeymoon period was ending...

I'm a recently diagnosed type 1 diabetic, and with university starting back up next week, I've began to think about what's best and quickest thing that I can have for my lunch whilst out and about on campus. There is a subway right outside which would be absolutely ideal. Therefore over the last...
