I am 25 years old. Recently I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I take 7 units of lupisulin m30 before breakfast. My fasting blood glucose level is in between 130-140 mg/dl. Is it dangerous? What should I do to lower my glucose level further? Please advice.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. Treatment for t1 dm is only insulin injection. If glucose levels are not controlled then dosage may have to be increased. Plus there is a need to take proper diet, that provides exact amount of calories. It is necessary to avoid sweets, deep fried foods, junk foods, pastries, bakery items, foods made of maida. Avoid colas, alcohol and smoking. Increase the intake of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. Always use whole grain flour for roti and chapati. Plus regular exercise for over 1 hour is very essential. Your target glucose levels should be fasting 100 mg, pp 160 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 6.8%. Thnaks.
