Type 1 Diabetic Journey

Insulin Stabilisation Scheme - Second Attempt

The following readings were recorded by me and sent to a Diabetic Clinic at a major hospital, and here I show a part of their second  6-week insulin stabilisation programmes which I undertook with the intention of stabilising my fluctuating blood glucose levels (BGL).  I took part in these programmes with the hope of becoming a suitable candidate for Insulin Pump Therapy to improve my Diabetes. As can be seen from my results, I was a dismal failure, and so I was not not accepted.
