Introducing myself
Hi, I'm rainbow_goddess and I'm your friendly neighbourhood community founder and mod. I'm a Type 1 diabetic since about 1973 or so (my family seem to disagree as to exactly when I was diagnosed). I take three shots a day of NovoRapid and three of NPH. I'll probably be switching to Lantus in September.
My control is pretty good. Could be better, but I'm sure I'm not alone in that!
I had a "bad diabetic" day today. It was a friend's birthday and we went out for Chinese food (dim sum, to be exact.) I took a little extra NovoRapid, but obviously not enough as my blood sugar was 14.1 mmol/l two hours after eating (for Americans, multiply by 18; that's around 253.)
I took some more NovoRapid, but two hours later it still hadn't gone down. At least it hadn't gone up!
