Hi, I'm newly diagnosed LADA/T1 3 months ago... I was not much of a drinker before diagnosis, but still was drinking 5-10 beers a month depending on the season
I said goodbye to beer when I first realized I had diabetes, but later I stumbled on a blog article in which a fellow T1 says he drinks a beer once in a while. He's an experienced T1 and better equipped than I am (pump and all).
I'm tempted to try it, I use only Humalog (lispro) and currently don't have access to FIASP or whatever faster insulins are available... But I do have Libre, which is great by the way.
My plan would be to have dinner and then go out and have a nice craft beer, a small one... So, do you have any advice in insulin timing?
My glucose is in range lately, spiking up to 9 after some meals, usually lower
Thanks
