Im just trying to get an idea from other type 1's. If you use humalog, how much will you use on any average day? I got diagnosed Oct. 2016, out of the blue...fortunate enough to have parents with good coverage. After the "honeymoon period" it feels like I use an ungodly amount. While it's not an issue right now (insulin is free under insurance) with the bullshit healthcare stuff going on right now I fear I won't be able to keep up with how much I use. To get an idea I wake up and my blood sugar is almost always 250-300 (dawn phenomenon) so it takes about 20-30 units to wrangle it back down to 100-150. In addition to starting the day off with a large injection I then have to worry about how much I need for other meals. I've been getting better about sticking to boring low carb, high protein meals but there have been days where I just don't have time to prepare meals like that and end up grabbing McDonald's or something and I'll use like 100 units over the course of the day. Anyone else have a problem with how much humalog they use? Thanks in advance for sharing and if you wanna vent about how much you hate t1 I'll totally sit here and talk to you about it. Still not at peace with my diagnosis :( I hope to god a cure comes soon as this disease is slowly ruining my life. So much to fear and worry about! Thanks again
