Hi,

Suppose I'll start by introcuing myself. My name is Martina, I am 24 years old, living in Copenhagen, DK.

Diagnosed with diabetes type 1, about 4,5 years ago. With a diabetes that are not very managable, I am just hoping to find some people in the same situation, and maybe learn a thing or two.

Regards,

Martina
 
Hi Martina, when you say your diabetes is "not very manageable", do you mean BG levels ? Maybe we can help if you explain a little more ?
 
Hi,

Thank you, that is very sweet.


Yeah it's mainly BG levels. I am being treated with a pump since june last year. Got a pump after my BG levels have been very high for a long period (hadn't been below 15 mmol/l for about 6 months). However the pump has made little to none difference, and very few things seem to help. I check my bloodsuger several times a day, I eat pretty healthy (noone is perfect :P), I calculate carbs and I excercise several times a week. None which results in any improvement of my bloodsugers. I am going next week, to recalculate my carb/insulin ratio with my nurse, but I am becoming sceptical if that is going to work.

I found out last autumn, that my 3 half sibiling (that I don't unfortunatly have a relationship with) all have a very rare insulin restitant disease. I took a insulin resistance test at the doctors last time I was there, and I am almost hoping it would be positive, cause that would at least explain some parts of it.

If you have any good suggestions I'll be more than happy.
 
Hi Martina and welcome to the forum :)
I am sure you will get the advice you need on here - just ask all the questions you need to and someone will be able to help.
