[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2268361, member: 475037"] Get a Libre or even better a Dexcom. Instead of snapshots of time you get the whole movie. Instead of having to wait to know if you are going up or down by keep doing finger pricks, you can just look at a graph 24/7. You still have to double check off and onto verify the accuracy etc but it will save you a lot of fingersticking. I'm assuming you are on insulin? But it is helpful if you put type 1 under your name and what you are taking in your profile. Always, Always, when you take insulin keep a fast acting carb with you like jelly belly's, We all misjudge or run into circumstances where we can drop unexpectedly. You are also probably in the honeymoon period, although the younger you are the less time it seems you spend in it. But not always. What that means is you are probably still making some insulin, until you're not.So it be a little erratic for a little time. It will become old hat, learn to carb count asap so you can learn to adjust dosing per the food you eat. It will make it a lot easier to control your blood sugars, Join us on the Type 1 R US thread on this site, lots of us type 1's there! [/QUOTE]
