Hi guys,
I'm new, and have had type 1 diabetes for about 13 years now. I'm 24 years of age and my diabetes have always been uncontrollable and luckily I have got no complications. I'm really struggling with trying to keep my blood levels under control. For example this morning when I woke up my blood levels were 13.1, for breakfast I had 2 weetabix, a banana and a few slices of mangos. I checked my blood level 2 hours later and it had gone up to 24.5, I usually take 13 units of novorapid. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Also even since I got diagnosed my hair have literally stopped growing, it's so short and thin.
