I am insulin dependent diabetic since 1968. Diabetes is difficult to manage and most important thing is to check blood sugars often. My endocrinologist was great. He had me keep a log of times I ate, amount of carbohydrates I ate, insulin dosage and exercise all listed. All times needed to be logged in. He could then tell how my system reacted to food and how insulin was responding. Takes time to get good handle on this. Important not to get excited when things don’t go right. Be patient and time will tell. Back then no computers or insulin pumps or sensors were available. So it was only way Dr could manage diabetes but I can tell you this, keeping a good record will show doctor what needs to be adjusted keep in mind they illness affects blood sugars and so does stress. Diabetics are struggling with maintaining good balance. Believe me I’ve had my struggles and thank God for my husband. He was able to tell if I needed to eat by how I acted:) I’m on insulin pump and love the fact I can manage my disease. Pump gives a steady amount of insulin throughout the day. I will take enough insulin to compensate carbs I eat . I use Libre 2 sensor that will wake me up or while awake when blood sugar drops. I the drink either orange juice or soda pop with sugar to correct lows. Now sensor will tell me what blood sugars are and I’ll correct insulin dose as needed to keep good control. Hope this helps. Sorry for length of explanation:)
