After 3 years on Metformin and Glicazide my HbA1c is still way too high so they finally did another test and discovered I am type 1. As I'm 68 everyone took it for granted that I'd be type 2. I've had loads of information thrown at me by a variety of nurses trying to fit me into their already crowded schedules. So here I am with bolus and rapid insulin and precious little info on what to do about timing and adjusting the doses. I'm booked on a carb counting course in a couple of months but pretty confused for now. So, my question-
Is there a publication that will give me basic information about when to test, when to inject and how to adjust my dose in relation to blood sugar results and carb intake? (I appreciate that everyone is different so there's no simple table but there's got to be something better than 'If you go over 17 or 18, take 2 units of NovoRapid')
