5th week of being type 1 at 54yrs

Just had my first review with the nurse and i'm soo pleased 94% in range, estimated A1C 6.0% . She was very happy with my data from wearing a Libre 2 . I have cut the amount of insulin used by half due to diet and feel great 🙂 Am enjoying a healthy balanced diet, social life with no major complications. Happy bunny

Congratulations from me as well. Have you been introduced to carb counting yet - where you take insulin to match the food that you're going to eat?

Thankyou.. yes the last 2 weeks i have been carb counting and reducing my insulin accordingly. I feel so much better. I have also reduced my evening dosage as kept having hypo's during the night ( i don't tend to eat much after 7pm on the whole so my nurse advised reducing from 10 to 6 and touch wood all is going well . Every now and then i'll have a piggie night and adjust accordingly. The Libre makes such a difference to diabetic life ( i know i'm only 5 weeks in but 3 weeks of not having it was a chore ). Life is good xx
