Hi team
I was diagnosed with T1 on 25th May. I was wondering how long it took people to start to sit within the 4-8 range for BG readings after starting insulin treatment?
My diabetes team seem to be happy with my current readings which are high 90% of the time (usually between 9 and 11 but sometimes down to 6 and up to 17). It certainly has improved since my fasting BG of 16 at diagnosis but I'm getting really concerned about long term complications and also pretty tired of the hyper symptoms as it's been nearly 3 months since diagnosis.
I have done a lot of reading and I know about carb counting and dose adjustments etc but I haven't been told about any of this by the nurse and my next appointment with the diabetes specialist nurse is in October. Am I just really ahead of myself? It's so hard to know where I should be.
I feel really worried most of the time and I'm not sure what to do. Anyone got any advice?
