Hi mohamoud my name is roxanna. I'm a type 2 diabetic I don't know a lot about type 1 but there are many helpful and knowledgeable people here on this forum who can help you. I hope you can get an understanding of your condition and hopefully learn to control it better in the future.
 
Thank you

Hello and welcome
 

Hello @mohamoudely how are you currently managing your diabetes? What insulin regime do you use? Do you count carbs?
 

Hi Mohamoud - Welcome to the forum.

I'm a T2, so my personal experience isn't most relevant to you, but hopefully over the course of the day you'll have plenty of helpful responses.

Many people seem to find they are able to grasp control of their blood sugars and insulin doses over time, but it does need a lot of work. Do you record what you eat, and how much insulin you take? That can certainly help identify where some of the highs and lows might be coming from. It's also useful to record when you play sport or exercise as that too can have an impact. I find looking back on notes made at the time much more helpful that trying to remember what I ate several days ago, never mind having to recall what medication I might have taken at the same time

I appreciate it is such a lot to get our heads around at the beginning, but what is the main thing that concerns you?

Do you only use Actrapid Mohamoudely?

To be honest I don't record that food i eat but now I'm working on that and the insulin I take is 20 units the morning and and lunch 10 units which is the humalog pen ,15 units the nights and the insulin I take is called acterapid.
the main thing that concerns me is getting weight and maintaining my diabetes
 
Hey! I'm 14 (if that matters) and I also have Type 1 Diabetes. I was diagnosed last year but I hope I might still be able to help. Ways to help manage your diabetes are as simple as exercising and eating healthy. The rest is just knowing you body enough to know what your glucose will do with different meals, but that comes with time and practice of diabetes. Hope this helps.
 
Yeah I should probably do that and thanks for the advice

I use the humalog mix25 but my doctor told me to use new one cos over the times I still couldn't manage my sugar so now use lantus solar

So are you now using a basal bolus regime (ie lantus and actrapid) or are you using mixed insulin?
