Hi guys, so found out last Tuesday that I had type 1 diabetes. Was a big shock as I hadn't been feeling unwell or anything. Obviously the first week has been a lot to take in. My blood sugar levels have been high since my diagnosis (around 11-14 in the morning and throughout the day sometimes reaching the 20's depending what I eat).
I haven't been dieting or anything, still eating what I want and injecting Novarapid following the 1 for 10g carbs rule. Although my sugars are high iv been feeling perfectly fine no symptoms at all. I'm wondering if I'm not injecting enough quick acting insulin to cover the carbs I'm eating? Or it's just because I'm so new to it and I probably had type 1 for about a month before I knew anything. Did anyone have this kind of experience at the start?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
