[QUOTE="Jamw82, post: 313728, member: 48796"] Hi everyone. My name is Jamie (30 year old guy), and I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 2 days ago. I say diagnosed, but the bloods haven't come back yet. At the moment I'm just "extremely likely" to have Type 1. I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. It's been a tough couple of days, and very overwhelming. I guess I just wanted to connect with some people in the same boat as I am. My wife and my family have been great, but there's only so much we can talk about it, if that makes sense. I'm currently taking 4 units of Novorapid before meals (on the nurse's advice), and checking my sugar levels 4 times a day, as well as having a slow release jab at bedtime (can't remember the name) until my results are back. When I was tested at the clinic the other day my blood sugar was between 17-19 each time. In the 2 days I've been taking the insulin since then I've been fluctuating between 12-14. I have no idea if this is normal considering how little time I've been taking the insulin, or if I should already be targeting 4-7. My first GP appointment is tomorrow, so I guess I can find out more then. It's just a lot to try and digest (no pun) at the moment. I can't really get my head around the fact that my life is changing. Anyway, just wanted to get a few things off my chest and say hello. I'll probably start annoying people soon by asking stupid questions! Jamie [/QUOTE]
