I bit of background info here. T1 was diagnosed in December. Things have been going well but for the past few weeks I've been honeymooning hard and getting a lot of hypos. From 8 and 8 Levemir and went down to 4 units in the morning and 2 units before bed, and I also take less Novorapid.
Sometimes I would recognize a hypo, because I would start crying for no particular reason and then I remember to check my BG. I've started running every other day and on the days that I run it's particularly bad. Like the other day I cried hard for good 10 minutes. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I consult a therapist? Maybe it has something to do with hormones, I am not sure...
PS: My parents think I should go on a fasting diet for 5 days, as we read recently about this diet having positive results with mice with T1. Having read some of the threads on this forum, I already know what most members would say, but I thought I would put it out there. Personally, I think it's a good idea to reduce my carb intake as with smaller insulin doses there is less chance to mess up and get a hypo. Because then I tend to eat too much to correct low BG and then my BG is high for hours and I hate it because I am constantly thirsty.
PS2: This is my first post so I am sorry if I overshared a bit. (I most definitely did)
