Hi all. Just a little background first. I was diagnosed with diabetes about 5 weeks ago. My GP at first told me I was a definite type 2 and started me straight away on meteor in. After a few days my BG was still very high ( around the low 20's) so he referred me straight away to my nearest diabetes clinic. The nurse explained a bit about diabetes and in her opinion with my symptoms and weight she felt I might be more of a T1.5 took blood samples and then the 5 week wait for my results and kept me on the metformin. Aft about 3 weeks and my BG still in the mid to high teens I went back to the nurse and she started me on a basal dose Of lantus. Results of this were good BG levels in the morning but as the day progressed they would creep up to the mid teens again. Finally last Friday my blood results came back and confirmed T 1.5. The nurse started me on novo rapid. So here's where the small victory comes in. Today is the first day since my diagnosis that my BG has been good all day. 5.6 in the morning, 5.8 in the afternoon and 5.6 in the evening. I know it is early days but after the last 5 weeks it feels great to have a small victory and for the first time I feel I might be able to manage this insulin and have some form of control back.
I just feel great today and had to share this with some people that will understand how it feels to have this little success.
