Hi,
I'm new to this I was diagnosed 4 months ago after a nasty dka episode landed me in hospital for a week. I'm trying to adjust to living with type 1 and having to think about everything, I feel like it's taken over my life! My sugars are ok now but I'm struggling with drinking ( larger is my drink!) And this is making me feel fed up. Also food like pizza, I inject what I think I need and I hypo about 30 mins later but then am sky high a few hours afte? Help!!!

Pizza is a challenge. For me I have to split the dose. I take 2/3 about 20 mins before I eat and the other 1/3 about 40 mins after I've finished.

Don't always get it right tho - nasty hypo about 3am last weekend.

Can't help with lager - but help will be along shortly I'm sure!

Ahh thank you so much for all your help. It's making me feel better that it's not just happening to me. I will try the split and see what happens thank you xx
