My daughter is 16, diagnosed when she was 11. Its like pulling teeth to get her to check her sugar. He last A1C was 13%. She is on the pump, which is a blessing, but she doesn’t use it like she should. How hard is it to check her sugar and the key it in. Her doctor wanted to put her back on the shots but I do not see how that would help. She still doesn’t want to check her sugar regularly. It scare me to death, what can happen when it gets out of control. She has already been hospitalized for Ketosis before. I have told her I know its hard to be different, and if I could change it I would, but since I can’t she is going to have to be responsible. Any suggestions??
Do you inject insulin before meal ?
I use fact acting insulin (nov0ravid)to cover the meal.
fast acting insulin
I am 17 and I recently went to the doctors, sense there are so many people with diabetes in my family the doctor told me "It isn’t a matter of if you will get diabetes it is when." She then told me to "eat right you know how to your mom is a diabetic" My mother doesn’t eat the best so I was wondering what you should be watching in your diet in this situation, would it be calories? Thanks!
I’ve had my diabetes for 17 years, I’m now 21 and I don’t have any fat left to inject in to on my arms or legs, this pretty much leaves my stomach. How can get rid of the hard bits of skin where I’ve been injecting for years? I’ve already stopped injecting in those spots.
