Im Perry, 44 years old and from the Netherlands. Im diagnosed with type 1 and my blood sugar is out of control. My HBA1C is 120mmol/120mol. I don't know how to a grip on it. Im at my wits end.
Hi Perry, another welcome to the forum.
I see you've been a member for a couple of years so you're likely not new to diabetes. Have you known you're T1 from the start or did you get rediagnosed from T2 recently?
If it's a recent change in diagnosis and you've only started learning to adjust your insulin doses, that's something your diabetes nurse or internist should be able to help with, and things should get better pretty quickly.
If you've been treated as a T1 for couple of years already, something is not going right.
How do you decide on how much insulin (both basal and bolus) to take? What kind of guidance do you get from your diabetes nurse?
If you have been trying to get it right for years and it isn't working, there is the possibility of a revalidatietraject in Groningen, which can be very helpful for those who need it:

And of course keep asking questions here, we're happy to share what works for us!
