Welcome @Catalyst5, glad to see you found us. You may want to introduce yourself here: > [@Welcome, introduce yourself here!](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/welcome-introduce-yourself-here/145): > > Hello, welcome to FUDiabetes (For Unlimited Diabetes). We’re happy to have you here and look forward to sharing, learning, and exploring all things diabetes together. I’m Sam, formerly known as Sam19. I live in Alaska with my wife and 2 young children. I was diagnosed with T1 unexpectedly at age 29. I currently manage with tresiba, novolog MDI, and Afrezza. I use a dexcom G5 cgm intermittently. Nice to meet you all. I am really glad you are testing and found a solution for your son, that is exactly what this community is about. It is also interesting that you have found a good use for a rather uncommon insulin (Novolin R) which adds some interest, since so few of us currently use that insulin. I would take a very small exception to your very low carb description. There are many that are indeed very low carb (i.e. Bernstein) and they eat less than 30 carbs a day. Many of us define 70-120 as “low carb” and above 200 as high carb. But the carb ingestion is of course a very personal thing, as is the definition. The most important thing is that you have found a combination that is working really well (A1c of 5.0% is a beautiful thing). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/normal-fasting-glucose-without-basal/4276)._
