Hi everyone, I'm super happy and just want to share: Diagnosed in February this year, I felt so lost and shocked. But I researched a lot, made connections and learned a lot. Things have been improving more and more. I've joined facebook groups, athletes with diabetes groups. I wasn't able to...

Hi everyone, I seem to not be able to handle food anymore on my basal only. It seems very sudden to me. So I was diagnosed 2 monthd ago and was on basal only and was doing alright, stayed well below 200 /11 and most of the time cruised around 100/5.5 mg/dl. Even had some low issues when cycling...

Hi everyone, I'm having some issues with my blood sugar during exercise, in this case cycling. I started cycling to and from work, about 40-45min and I'm not a pro cycler, so fairly slow. In the morning, I take my lantus, around 5 units atm, and a banana and I'm good to go. I spike to about...

Hi everyone, I'm newly diagnosed type 1.5 and just started on insulin. So today was day 2 of my 10units of Lantus in the morning. I woke up with normal levels and I had cereal for breakfast as I was worried the insulin would make me drop too quickly as it did that when my blg was very high. I...

Hi all, Just today I got my diagnosis that I'm type 1.5. I had my c peptite test done and was at 0.8, with normal levels being 1.1 to 1.4 apparently. As it is just a bit lower than normal, the doctor said it may be a mix of type 1 and 2, so 1.5. I was told to continue taking Zemimet to lower...
