Hello, i have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 1 month ago. I found out after feeling the symptoms of hyperglycemia for 2 years ( Thirst, Frequent urination, weight loss ) i had been to the hospital many times for these symptoms and they would always act like i was just crying wolf and send me back home. Its when i had been sick all day vomiting everything i ate and starting hyperventilating i called the ambulance when they confirmed i was in ketoacidosis. The first few days out of the hospital i had an average of 12mmol which made me really sad because i wanted to be perfect with something i really did not understand. Doctors told me to take 6 units of humalog (fast acting) before each meal and 6 units of slow acting before sleep. Now i have been taking on average 10 units before each meal and 6 units before sleep and my average is now 7.7mmol (i am using insulin pen, i will get pump soon with dexcom g6 hope it will help for better average. I am scared (*) of my condition, each time i get reading over 10mmol and that yellow light apears i get really down because i dont wanna lose my vision or limbs. I feel like 30 units of fast acting insuline + 6 of slow is a HUGE amount, i dont have the BEST eating habbits, but i do eat KINDA healthy.
Honestly everyone in my family says i will get threw this i am strong and i will be okay and live old, which makes me happy and feel better but really it would feel so much better for a type 1 like me to tell me that everything will be fine. I am scared because i had been 2 years with high blood sugars its already too late and i will die young. I am scared please help me.
