The best treatment is usually determined by your medical team based on the type of diabetes that you have. This can range from simply adopting a better diet and healthier lifestyle, to oral meds, or insulin. With diabetes there is no simple answer to any of your questions. Believe me I have tried to find them. Every person is different and every person's diabetes is a little different as well. The right answers belong to you. Everyone else can give you good ideas, but you have to find the answer.

Type 1:Insulin or an insulin pump if that option is available to you.

Insulin therapy is obviously one of the most common treatments, and is the one that works best for me, as I have Type 1 and am insulin dependent. Some people take pills to control their BS, but that's not an option for me.

Controlling blood sugar (glucose) levels with insulin, exercise and a good diet

For type one diabetics- take your insulin. I know it might be hard dealing with needles all the time, but you're going to feel like crap if you don't- or even die. Your life depends on keeping a close eye on your blood sugars and staying in range as best you can.

The key attributes of a diabetic regiment for a patient that is in tight control/patient who has their blood sugar in the range of healthy, normal adults… Euglycemia occurs when BG [Blood Glucose] ranges from approximately 60 [fasting] to 120 mg/dL... nonetheless, most type one diabetics experience tight leaps of hyperglycemia during the post prandial hours. When I was little… Surely after age 12, I experienced a brief honeymoon rapture where the pancreas was invited to push out the leftover thrill of insulin. However, after this brief, seemingly end of diabetes spell, my body and even more insulin to complete all jobs… Now, I was really working with insulin… Funny thing is that insulin makes life a lot more complicated because the diabetic can then suffer from extreme lows and reciprocated highs and end up more messed and destroyed on a daily basis then it might seem to those who are not in the know or experienced as parents/ siblings/ friends/ caretakers/ medical personnel [of T1D patients]. tight, or good control… I try to stay away from the word good because that rattled me as a child… It really hurt… And, I imagine/I know that many diabetics lied to their doctors… I don't believe that it is grand to do this because we have more acceptance in accommodation and much better technology and the technology that was there when I was diagnosed. That was back 33 1/2 years ago today… At that time, it would not be until 1992 that the controlled trial to see if type one diabetics would live longer, and suffer fewer complications/ sequelae if one was armed with insulin, accommodations like small syringes ... 29 G/ 12mmi, i.e., my youth [ 31G/ 4mm stringed today [7/3/22]... The ways that she 1D patients can't control their blood glucose levels is far more demanding than any type Chu, might know… That is, unless the type to patient [Note: type two diabetes mellitus has the same name but far different ideology. Type two is most often part of a larger syndrome that affects older adults. Yet, type two can affect young people as well. However, the outcome and the care, that is personal care, the amount of time and effort spent on the scope of good in bed is much tighter for a T1D individual. Type two has the same symptoms when BG gets high. The symptoms include: polydipsia, or extensive thirst, sometimes there is intense hunger– – you have to imagine that the body is not getting any sugar as a sugar will be spilled in urine, Tying in with the incredible thirst… Also drinking water then becomes a piece of the 1° solution. Type two diabetes mellitus is often confused with type one. Thus, I do believe that the world will be a better place the day that we change the names of these diseases to better reflect the subsets of demographics and the incredible disparity between etiologies. I just have to add the main point that both diseases are somewhat genetic. As I mentioned earlier, T1G is an auto immune disease. It happens rapidly and it does require the patient to adapt greatly and inject oneself with sub queue insulin doses daily. Blood glucose levels must be managed to the extent that one might have to check anywhere from 3 to 10 times per day with a GLUCOMETER or a sensor. Thankfully, some insurance companies and many diabetics now have handheld devices that can scan a sensor that can be attached to the skin [upper arm's] via the self-implementation of a sensor, which may be with for up to 2 weeks. These CGM's, Continuous Glucose Monitor's, Maybe worn for this number of days and, in terms of the one that I use, it has the ability… The potential ability. Potential must be emphasized because the sensors did not work accurately all the time. The concern diabetic must always have a plausible plan that something will go wrong. It us The Law of Entropy, thar firecracker of a chair brought along by "heat, friction, displacement, upheaval, hell, chaos, Mother Nature's scattered "witchery", and the very unpredictable world .. The nature of the world has always been so. So, like a Boy Scout, one must be prepared. Given my age, I have slice together the Staples of what I perceive could do the job when danger knocks at the door… I have insulin and a vile ; I have syringes; I have a glucometer with extra batteries. On top of that I have lancets. The Accu Chek lancets with a drum of six Lansing heads is the best lancing device because one doesn't have to change the lancet each instance the desire for an accurate, whole blood glucose measurement is desired, or necessary. In conclusion… "You"need many back-up plans to survive T1D! For certain!!... I should know..
