Hi everyone ,
My name is Matt, I’m 29 and was diagnosed with T1 just under 3 years ago.
My control has been pretty good for most of this time and I’ve been happy with my day to day levels. I’m currently using lantus in the morning and recently switched to fiasp (from novorapid) before meals.
A week ago my son was born and since then my levels have been all over the place, more hypos than usual, higher spikes than usual and there seems to be no pattern when they happen. I’m putting it down to the severe lack of sleep and my usual routine going out of the window I’m sure all parents can sympathise here!!
I know it’s very early days and I’m sure things will level out with time, but I’m wondering if anyone can share any tips that helped for them going through these early weeks with irregular meal times and sleep?!
Thanks!
Matt
