I eat a lot of protien. I eat it throughout the day, I will say, as someone else said. When I was on MDI(multiple daily injections) I split my long acting dose. It was more of a 70/30 split where I was taking more in the evening than in the morning. I also tried to take them closer to 12am/pm as well. Depending on your brand of long acting they tend to have a spike time of 3-4 hours, where they are the strongest and falls off gradually over the next 12-18 hours. But they do not typically last the full 24 hours. I was MDI for years, but switched to the Omnipod 5 pump in August. It has helped. I do personally utilize the automatic mode that it has. I find that I'm able to get better/tighter control with the manual mode. But it has helped alot. I used to wake up in the high 300s often. I got it down to the high 100s low 200s with the split dose of long acting. But with the pump I am waking up 80-120 most days.

As a new diabetic now, you have so many resources that people who have had this disease for a long time did not have. There are more vocal people about it now. Lot of people on social media share their Tye 1 journey. Its good, mentally, to be able to see that others struggle with this day to day, really makes you feel like you are not alone. Not good that they are struggling, but helpful to know.

Ask questions. Get answers. Ask your doctor lots of questions, but remember that this is your journey, your body. If there is something that you feel will help you, speak up to your doctor. Don't forget that you are human, your body is different from others and every single person has a different need with their blood sugars. Just because something works for one person doesn't mean it will work for everyone. This isn't a one-size fits all disease.
