Checking blood sugar
Blood-sugar levels need to be checked frequently during the day and overnight.
Daily management of type 1 diabetes
Managing type 1 diabetes involves three main steps: Checking blood sugar, administering insulin, and counting carbohydrates.
Learn the basics
Administering insulin
A person with T1D can take insulin through injections, pumps, inhalers, or automated insulin delivery systems.
Counting carbohydrates
People with type 1 diabetes must balance the amount of carbs they consume with the right dose of insulin.
Using technology to manage T1D
Technology like automated insulin delivery systems, continuous glucose monitors, smart insulin pens, and more can make managing your T1D easier and safer!
