Hi,
So all this has happened really quickly....... I noticed about 4 weeks ago that I was really thirsty and going to the toilet loads, I went to the doctors (about something else) and mentioned it to my GP, went for my blood test last week, everyday since I was feeling so poorly(like I had been run over) GP calls me in yesterday with my results, Blood sugar of 18.9...is this classed as really high? Because of how quickly my symptoms progressed, lossed 9lb in weight in 4 weeks and because I am really fit and healthy the dietetic nurse has said it’s most likely type 1, blood test to confirm in 6weeks.
She’s started me off on Novomix 30, I have to have 12 units in the morning and 8 in the evening and have an appointment with the diabetic team on Monday. I am in total shock, I’m 39years old and just so overwhelmed with how much my life is going to change! I have so many questions
My Blood sugar went up to 22.8 last night but has started to go down today,
Do I need to carb count? Do I have to eat the same time every day? Do have to cut out all sugar? This is just a start, I will be bombarding everyone with questions all the time lol,
