Hi all,
Just today I got my diagnosis that I'm type 1.5.
I had my c peptite test done and was at 0.8, with normal levels being 1.1 to 1.4 apparently.
As it is just a bit lower than normal, the doctor said it may be a mix of type 1 and 2, so 1.5.
I was told to continue taking Zemimet to lower my bgl which is still double as it should be.
I was also given insulin now, Lantus, 10units a day in the morning and if I'm over 200 in bgl in the morning, I'm to add another 2 units.
I didn't get a lot of information in regards to injections, only to take it in the morning. Do I need to take it on an empty stomach? Or after food?
Also, I'm a bit scared of actually using the injection for the first time tomorrow morning, will it hurt, can I be sure it was injected properly?
I also read a lot of side effects, do people need to trial different insulin brands?
Sorry for all the questions, it is all a bit scary
