Dear All ,
I'm 30 years old . I have Type 1 diabetes when I was 18 years old . my doses are
too high as I am taking 120 units per meal 3 times a day of Novorapid and take 70 units of Lantus at bedtime. I'm taking these large amounts of basal and bolus insulins because my BG is too high either before or after the meals . I'm one of who eat alot of carbs without any carbs counting or caring from my self.
But I decided from 2 weeks ago that I will change this to the better healthy life in eating , in exercises like walking or running and in every things So I have taken some of actions:-
1. Change my bad habits food and to Increase the healthy foods.
2. Reduction of carbohydrates in eat.
3. Applying of a diet 2,000 calories while " MyfitnessPal " helps me in that program.
4. walking about 3-6 Km a day or at least (4 times a week )
I have applied above for one week and the results are very good except that had hypo coubles of time after the walking or during my sleep. I had hypo maybe 4 times during this week .
I need your help as I face some difficulty to specify exact my ICR and and I need some tips to better carbs counting . I have some questions but I will postponed them after I read you comments.
Sorry all for my poor English language I'm trying to improve it.
your help is highly appriciated
