    Continue to manage diabetes in the usual way. I recommend the basall bolus method: Adjust basal insulin dose given at bedtime based on FBS.

Bolus insulins are Humolog, Novolog, and Fiasp. Using dexcom to measure glucose can avoid finger sticks. Using an insulin pump can avoid multiple insulin injections. Edward N. Smolar, MD READ MORE
