[QUOTE="Cathy Cally, post: 2697725, member: 587811"] I really am terribly mixed up about the whole insulin thing. I literally have had one short phone call with the nurse since I was prescribed insulin so really don’t know what to do about my does of both rapid and long acting insulin. I have so many questions that keeping popping into my head. Do I have to be exact with taking the rapid dose and what if I forget what do I do? What do I do if my levels go sky high in between meals, do I have to wait till I eat to use the rapid dose? What time should I take the long acting at night? Can I ever go out for a drink with my friends again (meaning Bacardi ). At the moment I am told that I am very underweight (I got Septic Shock after extensive reconstructive surgery and lost 5 stone last year) so not got a lot of good places to inject into and my stomach is getting a little sore, is there any other places I could use? Apologies for my list but I really am struggling with it all. It seems that Diabetes has taken over my life at this time. Do other people feel the same way when first diagnosed? I really don’t want to sound like a whiner but do need some good advice. Thanks Cathy [/QUOTE]
