Hi,
I was diagnosed with Type-1 Diabetes 3 4 months before. I have started using Insulin to lower my blood Glucose Level.
First, I Used Humulin 70/30 twice a day. But my sugar never controlled with it. My fasting results vary from 120mg/dl upto 200. And Random from 250 – 400.
I recently started using Humulin N with R which made a little difference in my readings.
I do no know how to control my sugar. How to calculate insulin per day and Which insulins are good for me.
Can anyone please explain his/her experiences of controlling sugar.
I am 22yrs old.
Thanks
To clear my question..
I want to know, how do you calculate your insulin units?
People with type 1 diabetes no longer produce insulin, and therefore must have an alternate source of insulin to help the body utilize the glucose obtained from eating. For this reason, people with type-1 diabetes must give themselves daily doses of insulin. Because insulin is a protein, it cannot be taken as a pill as it is then quickly broken down in the stomach acids. Instead, insulin is usually injected into the fat under the skin. Methods of insulin intake vary and may include using an insulin pump, insulin pen, jet injector or insulin patch.
There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that the use of carefully chosen herbal and homeopathic remedies and dietary supplements can help to both prevent the disease andd keep signs and symptoms of diabetes under control in those who have already developed it. Along with the correct lifestyle changes, herbal remedies and dietary supplements can reduce or eliminate the need for prescription medication and can also aid in preventing some of the tissue and organ damage associated with uncontrolled blood sugar levels. Natural supplements to treat Diabetes can include herbs such as Gymnema sylvestre, Galega officinalis and Bilberry.
A few of the herbs have proven successful as natural supplements to treat signs and symptoms of diabetes while the mineral Chromium picolinate has been proven to improve the effectiveness of insulin. Natural remedies such as Insulate Plus is can be used as natural supplements to treat diabetes. Insulate Plus can be used to help maintain blood sugar levels that are within the normal range and support the endocrine system. The herbs in Insulate Plus can also be used as natural supplements to treat diabetes and support healthy circulation which is responsible for adequate flow of blood to the feet
The herbal product that was proven to be very effective for me is at the source below. I’m confident that It could help you too.

Work with the doctor or your diabetic nurse or who ever. There should have been some sort of class or instructions offered to you Since you have been newly diagnosed, it may take a while until you get it regulated correctly. Not always your fault. You may need a different combination of insulin or to take it at different times.
Your blood sugar raises and lowers in response to more than just eating. If you are very active, it will be lower, if you are having a lazy day, it will be higher. If you mess with the diet, changes again. If you have a lot of stress, that can affect it as well. if you check your blood sugar at the wrong time, you results won’t be as accurate as they could be. Many factors.
See about any kind of diabetes education offered through your hospital or clinic. These can be very help-full.

take depending on how many carbs you eat
