About 5 months ago, I was diagnosed with late stage type 1 diabetes. I was put on my county's version of medicaid (I didn't have health insurance at the time), given insulin, and the doses I needed.
Within a couple of weeks, I was able to keep my blood sugar generally between 85 - 100, and worked a retail job that kept my blood sugar down as well.
About a month ago, I moved to another state to start a teaching job. At first, my blood sugar regiment was working normally, but in the past week things have been weird.
I constantly wake up with my blood sugar between 110-120. During the day after taking insulin for my meals, I stay around 130 no matter how much short acting insulin I use.
I'm on another health insurance for my job, so next week I'm going to be contacting doctors in the area, but I wonder what's going on?
I will admit that I haven't been eating as well as I could be, but in the past I would adjust my insulin and things would be fine in a day or two. I have also gained some weight during quarantine, but I'm not obese (I'm 175 pounds at 5 foot 9). I have been drinking a fair amount of beer in the past week, but nothing that adjusting my insulin wouldn't fix before. Plus I've stopped that and increased my water intake.
Is this normal? I'm still new-ish at being diabetic, so maybe I'm worried over nothing? But it's probably good to be cautious.
