U shud be taking insulin

Type 1 numbers for my daughter jump up to 200+ and then we battle it but then it drops to low 70's and we're giving her juice in a panic. So frustrating!

Stress. Cortisol levels do it. If stressed , we all seem to be, does it I think.

I do basal 14 units before going to bed and just recently started getting DP.

are you eating in morning or just waking up and spiking...are you relatively flat (give take 30 points) overnight? if you're going to be at good number and waking super high, you need to adust your basal. You're T1 right? you wear a CGM?

I understand this

Your doc needs to get with it 😂

I've the same symptoms, have you found the way?

He is Type 1 diabetic ....they don't take metformin.

type one...???How do you know you're type 1, type 1's are usually losing weight prior to diagnosis, and a lot of it. Insulin does not cause weight gain. what is a small amount of insulin, what insulins are you taking?

​@@christopherone1insulin in fact does cause weight gain for some!!!

Dp

I totally reversed mine on carnivore. From A1c of 10.5 down to 5.1 in a year. I do still get higher morning readings which is why I am watching this. Age 63, lost 71 lbs and feel 30 yrs younger!

I envy type 2's. Being type 1, I can manage it with diet but I cannot reverse it as can you. Please look into it, many many type 2's are no longer diabetic after diet change. As Maria mentioned, with carnivore diet but also with keto diet or managing and reducing their carb intake etc.

@@AJ-ku9jz NO type 1 can manage 'it' with diet. If you're a type 1, regardless if you don't eat another morsel of food your entire life, you'll still need insulin (basal and bolus) to survive daily. Also, ah...no...there is also NO cure for type 2's they can lose weight, change their eating habits...but the minute they gain the weight back (type 2 is a metabolic syndrome not an autoimmune disease like type 1) or eat carbs or how they used to, the high blood sugars will return. Also, for type 1's even coffee (NO CARBS), proteins fats can and DO raise blood sugars. A type 1 would know this?

@@christopherone1 lol I never said type 1 can go without insulin. I didn't say type 2 can be cured I said it can be reversed. The need for taking medication can and has been reversed in many people with diet. Not informing type 2's of this is a huge injustice. I was diagnosed with Type 1 in 2003.. There are documented cases (many) of type 2's no longer needing medication.

I became aware of having Type 2 diabetes on 12/29/23: A1C = 7.1. One month later, I received an A1C of 6.0. The 30 days between reflected: 16/8 intermittent fasting, low carb/low sugar, primarily plant-based diet, 500 mgs of Metformin, 500 mgs of berberine, and daily exercise. Also, I lost 10 lbs. On 01/29/24, my doctor took me off of Metformin. I’m waiting to get my next A1C on 3/18/24.

Basal=long acting insulin, if you take insulin by injection, something like Lantus or an NPH insulin. Bolus=fast acting insulin. Humalog or something similar.

lowers mine

@@vincec727 I am envious. Still raising mine.

Idk what insulin you’re on, but my b.s. did the same, now I have yogurt or something before bed and I’m stable at night

@@86t0ne I'm down to 13 units of Lantus. I never eat for least 3 hours before bed. Something light might be a good idea.

then your Lantus is too much if you're not bolusing before bed.
