hello, I've just joined looking for any kind of advice I guess, I've just been diagnosed with type 1 my Hbac1 was 113 and bloods when tested were 30.3 I've been told this is extremely high so I started insulin yesterday evening they've started me on 12 units and night and 4 units every time I eat, is this a lot? I'm 7 stone 7 pounds. I'm just so confused about everything I've not been told anything about counting sugars and carbs yet, is this really hard to do? I'm so scared and I have so many questions. Since starting I've had a huge headache but the nurse said this is because my body will be in shock with my levels being brought down so much. I'm so scared about the hypo it's making me not want to go to sleep I case something happens I don't know if I've just scared myself with things I've read. Does anybody have any advice or positives to how to cope with this. Thank you.
