Hello everyone, I am 45yrs old and newly diagnosed type 1 (2months ago). I'm on humalog 25 mix and inject twice per day. I'm still learning and can't decide whether to do the 4 stabs a day thing or not. I HATE NEEDLES!!!!! I test my glucose levels all the time because it's a good way to learn what foods do what to my levels. I had my evening meal last night and tested 1 hr after (7.2). Then I tested 2hr after (6.1). Felt really smug and decided to test fifteen minutes after the 2hr test and I was at 8.2! Tested 10 mins later and down at 7.2. Can anyone tell me why such fluctuations?
Also does any one else have the same problem with their glucose testing pen. I find it's really gentle for the first few times on a setting and then all of a sudden it's like the thing is going to come out the other side of my finger!!!! I use the one touch ultra soft (ultra soft my backside!)
