So I was diagnosed on friday and am using insulin. Have to use before meals. My glucose levels are really high (25 ish). Anyway, today I;m absolutely starving in spite of eating.
My reading was 17.8 mmol/l (lowest I've seen since Friday).
Clearly my body is "used" to the higher levels at present. Is this why I feel starving? I've had to eat now but assume (ketones present but can't measure - last checked Friday - very high).
Guess this is what the nurse meant about my levels starting to drop (would feel pretty grotty).
Not sure what to make of it, just feel a bit weird and really hungry!
Thanks
