Hi
I'm new to the forum
I'm type 1 and I haven't been taking care of myself for a while and I really want to get good control. I am newly married and we really want to have a baby. I've been experiencing scatty blood sugars, for example, yesterday it was 19mmol in the morning, 6.5 at lunch and then I had 2 hypos before dinner. I think this is because I am on Novomix insulin and as my bs was 19 I took more insulin but when the long acting insulin kicked in I had a hypo. Would you consider changing to two types?
I feel like I will never get on top of this. I so yearn to have a family of my own but the mountain is so high i have to climb. I also have an overactive thyroid and have put on a bit of weight this past year.
I am finding it hard cutting down on the carbohydrates. I love potatoes but they count so much.
Has anyone any advice or words of inspiration?
I am looking forward to getting to know you all.
Thank you.
Georgia
