[QUOTE="SB.25, post: 2016023, member: 496757"] Hiya, sorry to hear you have been diagnosed, but things will be OK. I just wanted to add to what others have said about bringing down the levels slowly (my a1c is still too high but has dropped from 103 on diagnosis to 59). When my levels started to drop after being put on insulin, my eyesight went a bit funny and my eyes hurt/were dry which is apparently normal, I also got pins and needles in my legs for about 4 days which then went. I also had a lot of false hypos - for example at one point as soon as I was in single figures I would feel hypo and even now I start to feel ill when I get to 5 and sometimes even a 6! I think this is because my levels were so high before diagnosis (18 plus). Anyways hope you get on OK and there is lots of support on here :) [/QUOTE]
