Newly diagnosed T1D while working long hours—how did you adjust?

Hi Alisha. I work in IT so like you I spend all day in front of a screen pushing buttons although I had the “advantage” of already having diabetes when I started. Couple of thigs that might help

Personally I found a sit-stand desk helpful. You mentioned meal timing, when I was on a higher basal rate my BG would be crashing into lunch and dinner. Lowering it helped along with reducing breakfast carbs, and the desk, etc. Like with most diabetes things its never just one change.
