Type 1 diabetes

Published

Hi everyone, just last week I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I am 19 years old and I am now insulin dependent and I have a few questions because it's all new to me. Why does my sugar level go so high when I just wake up? What can I do to prevent that? Are there any tips on lowering my blood sugar ?

They did not put you on insulin?

Sorry I realized I had a typo earlier which I fixed now. I meant to say I am NOW insulin dependent instead of the word "not". So yes, I am on insulin.

Yikes! This is a condition that needs to be well-managed. Do not take advice from strangers on the internet. People are not always who they claim to be, and that applies to some "nurses" on this site.
