Got diagnosed at the beginning of December after hospital trip and numbers being at 27 and maybe even higher previously. Was doing decent a week or 2 after getting CGM which I got 1 week into December. And then I got sick then also kind of indulged for Christmas and was going to 15 during those tim
Sounds like you are still in the honeymoon period -your insulin needs may wildly vary from meal to meal. Mine did. Just be aware to always have what you need to correct after you eat if you go low (fast glucose) or go high (fast acting insulin).
I’m not a medical professional, just a fellow LADA/T1. Low carb can help ease the need for insulin in this phase, but be on the lookout for protein spikes at 3+ hours and delayed spikes from high fat meals at 4+ hours.
When in doubt, talk to your endo/diabetes team.
In my book, a month after a T1D diagnosis, you're doing great if you feel like you are able to take in the flood of new information, understand what is going on, and have some sense of what levers to pull and when in order to keep yourself in some semblance of control.
Holiday are tough for most T1Ds. Your control won't be perfect 100% of the time. Nothing to worry about.
Agreed you're probably still in honeymoon phase. No reason to take insulin if you don't think you'll need it to stay in range, and it makes sense that that would be the case sometimes until honeymoon is over.
Keep at it. Sounds like you're doing the right things.
Taking long in the mornings and fast acting insulin with each meal. But finding most times I can eat a low carb lunch without taking that dose. Don't know all the ins and outs as I haven't seen a endocrinologist yet but seeing them on the 9th but I think that's OK to eat a meal you know wont put you above range and not take insulin??
