Stoyan replied to SAMANTHA's discussion 'Need advice and help!'"I think Zoe gave a very good reply, I agree with that. Also, it's important not to stress over it either way...stress only makes things worse."
acidrock23 replied to SAMANTHA's discussion 'Need advice and help!'"That' very good advice and may offer a "simple" (ha ha, relatively simple anyway?) solution? I didn't really realize how much running BG all over the place, cleaning up the "morning mess" every day was until I got it…"
Holger Schmeken replied to SAMANTHA's discussion 'Need advice and help!'"You wrote that you take 22 units of Lantus in the morning. Very likely this one shot will not cover 24 hours. If this is your problem you will have hours with perfect control after the injection of the Lantus. Then when the Lantus is loosing its…"
Super_sally replied to SAMANTHA's discussion 'Need advice and help!'"The massive fluctuations could also be because you are still sick and your body is fighting off the bug. Under this circumstance it can be really hard to get stable sugars.

Zoey Stevens said… - Samantha, I have had type1 for about 15 years, that I know of! I live in Laguna Niguel, CA. My Mom actually teaches at Cal State Fullerton, and I have a few friends at the Hibbleton Gallery there. For fun, I like to play tennis, swim, make art and raise tons of money and awareness for diabetes. I am hosting an art show at the Allen Diabetes center in Newport Beach next month, you should come out! Welcome to tu diabetes!
