since you are a type 1, you must literally live it as though your very life depends on your following the rules. Because it does.
I have been diabetic so long that the first 20 years, I couldn’t even measure my blood sugar without going to the doctor to get a vein stuck and wait a day or two for the results.
My last A1c was 6.4, the one before that was 6.0-- I spent a week in the hospital getting a femoral artery bypass, and things got a little crazy.
You MUST test your blood sugar regularly, and you MUST tailor your insulin requirements specifically to your life. And you MUST live by habit and routine and regimen-- AND IRON DISCIPLINE. Your doctor can help you, guide you, advise you, but in the end, YOU are the one who must do the hard thinking and the hard work.
Be well and prosper.
