Life As A #WalkingScienceProject In Hope Of Helping Others
As a person with Type 1 diabetes, I’ve been frustrated in years past with the lack of advancement for the treatment of this disease.

- I test around 3am and give Novolog if above 225. Be careful, you don’t want to overcompensate while calculating half asleep.
- I up my 5:41am Lantus dosage a unit or two.
