Hi Adam,

Are you struggling to eat, therefore not taking your insulin ? Also are you still testing your BG levels ?

Nerves are perfectly natural in a new job, everyone get's them so don't feel alone, try getting some fresh air at lunch time and taking a walk in a park or a green area, this is relaxing, also if you're getting stressed try some deep breathing. Hopefully when you are less stressed you will get your appetitie back, as this could also be causing you stress too by not eating, your body needs food so I hope your ok

I guess you are also on a long acting insulin as well as your rapid. You don't have to eat but if you do then use the rapid else the basal (long acting insulin) should do the rest (well in the perfect world eh!).

You can miss meals (and insulin) on basal/bolus but you still need to eat to fuel the body, so it's not good missing to many meals as you will become ill.

It's probably best that you have chat with your gp and they may prescribe some meds that will relax you and calm your nerves, just don't let it continue for too long before seeking help.
