Hi to everyone on here first of all.
I have just been diagnosed with type 1 a few days ago still in a bit of shock with my diagnosis to be honest but I'm eager to be positive about it and learn quick about how to manage my diabetes. Been hard work so far I was just discharged from hospital yesterday and took my first hypo last night was scary stuff I didn't know I was having it just felt a little dizzy and my partner suggest i checked my blood sugar level as I had went really white i didn't really have enough to eat and my dietician said that and too much insulin could have been the likely reason for the hypo but I managed to deal with it fine. I have been ok today no hypos. My blood levels have been high all day today I have eat more today than i have on the other days since being diagnosed so is that why i have been high ? i haven't learned how to increase/decrease my insulin yet I'm attending my local diabetes clinic later in the week but I'm speaking to my nurse on the phone in the morning about how much insulin to take but any advice in the mean time would be good Iv been looking about the forum the last few days and see there's lots of good info on here just struggling to take some of it in and understand it all as its all so new to me. Any tips would be good I don't know anyone who is type 1 so thought be good to ask about here where there is plenty of people in the same position or have been in the same position as myself.
