You'll get the hang of it...This disease will be a constant pain in the ***, but it is manageable if you are willing to manage it.

Give us some details...What kind of insulins are you taking?

When are you taking your insulins?

How much are you taking?

Did anyone give you a lesson in carbohydrate counting? Or show you the exchange system?

You have to test a lot initially--I still test a lot, and I am into my 16th year almost of having this ****, knowing what my blood sugars are and seeing trends helps me control this thing.
