[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2175424, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. I suspect your insulins may need balancing together with possibly improving your diet? A few things. Can you let us know what are the two insulins you are on? Are you counting the carbs at mealtimes when using the Bolus (fast-acting insulin). You should be adjusting the number of insulin shots at mealtime to suit the amount of carbs in the meal. Your Basal (24 hour insulin) may need balancing. It's purpose is to balance the background glucose output form the liver. If your BS goes up or down when you haven't eaten for perhaps 8-10 hours then some adjustment may be needed. Your diet needs to be sensibly low in carbs to avoid BS spikes and weight gain. It's not as critical as it is for T2s but your Bolus shots need to be right. If you need further feedback then it may be worth posting on the T1 forum. [/QUOTE]
