- High and low blood sugars!
I test about 4-6 times a day and use carbohydrate counting ratios to calculate my insulin, the ratios can change and it can be difficult to find a happy medium. Sometimes I feel that I am completely lost when trying to change a ratio as my blood sugars go up and down like a yo yoMorning @banana2000 - I’m an old fart too, diagnosed 20 years ago at the age of 24, when I was studying for my PhD. I don’t know any T1s in the wild, so really rely on my online support network.
