Hi All, For being T1 person, How can we know that "are we in right track or not " ? What are main symptoms or sign of being on right track ? If we are getting every day bg level within given range, is it ok ? How can we know we have to give attention to our health ?

Why the glucose measurement unit is different in UK ? Is there some special reason behind this ?

I feel exercise is the mandatory for every person. Before 7 months when i was diagnosed with T1 i was taking 70 unit insulin in whole day, but after taking diabetic friendly food and doing average exercise, my insulin dose has come 1 unit now. If i donot go for morning exercise my glucose level...

Hi can we take lantus insulin injection by bd insulin syringes ? I take every day 1 unit of lantus insulin. But while injecting from pen injection, half unit insulin will come out of body. So i feel pen injection is not suitable for small unit. Can i inject same insulin by bd insulin syringes ?

Yes, it is good idea.I agree with you. I am slowly increasing carbs in my meals. But i am taking only healthy carbs which will not spike the glucose level quickly.
