First don't be afraid of your diabetes. If you rule it, it can't rule you or your life. I promise you. the longer you live with this illness, the easier it gets. I have been type1 for 32 years. Firstly, call your diabetic specialist nurse, and explain your predicament. Get them to give you extra training (I know, they seem to tell you once and leave you to cope, almost on your own, I went through it in the beginning.). Do not be put off, after all it is your life and health we are talking about. I assume you are taking a set dose of insulin at set times during the day. Along with a set amount of carbohydrate to eat. Again ask to speak to a dietician and get them to explain the kinds of food you need to eat, Most of us tend to eat normal portions of normal foods at first, don't be fooled by 'diabetic foods, they are expensive, and a lot less healthy. If you are mixing insulins' in the same syringe or are you using more than one pen to deliver the insulin. It takes practice. If you are using pens with one type during the day, and a different one for nighttime, The nighttime one is usually a long acting one called a basal or background insulin, and lasts up to 24hours, if you are always going low, it may be this one which needs adjusting (ask your doctor, a slightly smaller dose will reduce the probability of low blood sugars). for more people with diabetes, try the site 'diabetics round the globe' this is an Australian site, run by a young lady called Jo Harboro, People from all over the world use this site, So the knowledge base is unlimited, just remember, you are not alone.
