as far as I know, during the honeymoon, the dose of basal is less than 0.5 units per kilogram of weight. Although I inject 0.3 units of basal per kilogram of weight, but this is clearly not a honeymoon (perhaps this is because the effect of the tresiba lasts about 48 hours). And when your...

If you only take metformin, hypo is not possible for you. The fact that diabetics consider bg below 4 hypoglycemia is a consequence of insulin therapy. In healthy people, fasting bg is considered normal at a value of 3.3-5.5. We just have to maintain our bg higher than that of healthy people in...

depends on what you eat. Usually, ultrashort insulin is taken 15 minutes before meals, but with hypoglycemia, of course, after meals. The problem is that when bg rises, insulin acts even more slowly and it needs more than normal glycemia. Food saturated with fats slows down the action of carbs...

Perhaps there is not enough insulin (but quite a bit, because bg drops to normal), but more like too fast carbs and a shot of insulin after a meal. What did you eat and when did you get the injection?

I never knew about the third digit 15 in this rule, so I always ate 15g of sugar and waited 15 minutes. I need to try to eat another 15 grams of slow carbohydrates. But 15 minutes when you're shaking from hypo is terrible, isn't it :hilarious: ?

Sometimes several times a day, sometimes every few days.

The problem is that giving up insulin at t1 is a slow and painful death, so it will be impossible to "enjoy" a year without insulin. To be honest, I'm not at all sure that a year without insulin is possible at all, usually it's a few months at best. But teenagers from well-off families rarely...

Usually I just eat sugar, sweet tea or juice, my cgm notifies me when my bg is around 4.5. Sometimes I eat banana, chocolate or dried mango, but most often it's still sugar (5-10g) or sweet tea, so it rarely comes to a strong hypo. Below 2, my bg happens every few months.

Is it possible to supply your child with a closed-loop pump? It is quite expensive, but unlike injections, he will not be able not to inject insulin. How much have you come to terms with his diagnosis yourself? Do you forbid him something because of diabetes? Can he do his hobbies? I suppose you...

Well... today it's but t1 is different from t2 and mody

It seems to me that with well-controlled diabetes, A1c is better than in healthy people, because we constantly check our bg and as soon as it rises a little, we take medications or severely restrict food, but healthy people do not do this. In addition, even if you do not take into account...

my diabetes will be 19 years old at the end of May. I have only mild polyneuropathy. I don't know if my story can be considered a success, but I'm still alive and relatively healthy. :hilarious: Although, of course, I don't think I can live as long and well as people without diabetes

20+ mm/l for over a month is a level that is dangerous for your life. It is possible that in this case, insulin is needed, and not metformin. Even if you don't have any symptoms, it's very dangerous. Seriously, call an ambulance.

can you change your doctor? I have been looking for such specialists for a long time who could adequately work with diabetes, and not make it the cause of everything that happens to me. You could ask your endocrinologist about who it is better to turn to with a specific problem

A few YEARS?! WITHOUT insulin?! Wow! I never thought it was possible with t1. Apparently, you were very lucky with the early diagnosis. Virtual hugs to you. I hope you will quickly get used to all these injections

you're not constantly in a state of hypoglycemic coma around other people, are you? I guess you don't even complain to them about your diabetes every time you see each other. How can your diabetic burnout affect them? I think they don't even know about it. Or do you want to talk about your...

you can download diabox, it reads any sensors, but you have to activate it with a reader or a hacked libre application. It is unlikely that there are no hackers in Dubai who have bypassed this incompatibility. If this does not work, you can install a UK VPN, register a Google account for a new...

sugar. Just sugar :) You buy sugar sticks (which are used in coffee shops) and drinking water. With hypoglycemia, you pour a bag of sugar under your tongue and wash it down with water. It tastes disgusting, so the child will not want to do it unnecessarily, it removes hypo very quickly and it...

no. Haha, therefore, "if you calculate the dose correctly and you can give the injection yourself, I will let you eat what your parents brought for you from home" motivated me very much :hilarious:

adults have enough brains to understand the word "forbidden" :hilarious: Although if you had ketoacidosis, I think you wouldn't mind but I admire your awareness, because I would hardly have taken my diagnosis seriously if my doctor had given it 15 minutes. Diabetes is a lot of information...
