Hi everyone,
My name is Mandie, I’m 45 and was diagnosed with type 1 on the weekend when they discovered my ketone level was at 2 and my bg was 18.4
I was put on a drip on Saturday to try to reduce ketones. Got down to 1.3 which was better. Had my 1st appointment with clinic on Monday. My Ketones we’re back up to 1.7 and bg was 20.2
I’ve got my insulin, I’m doing my semglee every day but I was told I only need to inject with the other one if I’m eating carbs so trying to cut them down to just evening meal. I think I’m doing ok, latest readings are now between 11 and 13.
Question: Am I doing the right thing? I’m getting so much advice from other people to say I have to inject & eat 3 times a day.
Also, the needles the hospital pharmacy gave me are bigger than the ones the clinic gave me, it’s hurts when I inject so now I get worked up before I do them.
Thank you for reading
