Message: <blockquote data-quote="JT65" data-source="post: 2739796" data-attributes="member: 594624"><p>Morning everyone, I am a newbie and diagnosed with Type 1 at the end of September having been treated by GP as type 2 for 5 months which ended up with a hospital stay for DKA. My brain is in overload and I am a keen cyclist so fighting to be able to get out there and do what I enjoy. I currently take Lantus in the morning which I don’t feel works for me and Fiasp with meals. The Fiasp replaced NovoRapid as that was too slow. After about a month of good success on Fiasp, things have gone haywire and I am struggling again. I wake up with BG at around 9 and porridge breakfast; measured out and carb counted etc.. as directed, usually spikes within the hour to around 12 or 13 and normally takes 2 hours to come down back to around 9. If I increase the ratio to 1.5 units insulin to 10 g carbs then I usually bomb out and go hypo, at least 3mm/ol. Finding the balance is hard and frustrating. I am determined to not let this beat me or define me. Any help, advice or tips would be most welcome and appreciated and I hope that I can offer something in return as I get a grip of this diabetes. I wish everyone well and thank you in advance</p></blockquote><p></p>
