Hi there I have recently been diagnosed type 1 (3 weeks ago) originally thought as type 2 but doctors were quick to link all my autoimmune stuff and carry out extensive bloods which showed type 1.
For 3 weeks I’ve been taking Levimir morning and night but the dietician just said to start on novarapid now I have done my Bertie training. And having high readings after carbs.
Just a question about correction doses, she’s started me on 1 unit - 5mmol as a starter and see how I go she said better to start lower then build up.
At what point should I I see my blood sugars lower after a correction dose? Like how long do I have to wait?
Novarapid really scares me and I am starting on days when I am at home so i can check sugars regularly.
Many thanks
Leanne
