[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2634104, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=577456]@Ruth1961[/USER] , unfortunately it takes time to get the hang of insulin dosing. It's a bit of a platitude, but it really is true that controlling T1 is a marathon not a sprint and you are still very near the start of the race. Plus if you are continuing to have treatment for your cancer I'm guessing this make your insulin doses less predictable, as any form of illness is notorious at pushing up insulin needs. Do you have frequent contact with your diabetic team? I would guess that at this stage there is still adjustment needed for your insulin doses. The good news is that after a few years it gets much easier to tweak you basal and bolus doses yourself, but at the beginning you really need help. As a long term T1 I find that getting my basal dosing is the first thing to address, and then I can adjust my bolus.... [/QUOTE]
