[QUOTE="lollyann1, post: 755673, member: 100467"] I was not shown how to deal with Type 1 Diabetes properly. I felt the Diabetic Nurse rushed through showing me how I should inject. I did make brief notes and, luckily, I managed to just get on with the injections. Diet was very briefly mentioned. This is where I feel I am lacking correct information. I still have problems trying to work out carbs in relation to how much insulin I need. I have just had a NovoPen Echo delivered. It came without any cartridges or needles. I have got that sorted out now though through help on this Web site. I am 63 and only put on insulin after I had an attack of Ketoacidosis. Luckily, one of the GP's who I rang acted quickly and I went to the Hospital. After being put on fluids I felt better and was discharged the following day. I have never seen the Hospital Consultant, the surgery prefer to deal with Diabetic patients in house with the Diabetic Specialist. She holds annual Diabetic checks. Most of my Pancreas was removed a few years ago. The remainder does not function anymore. I take Creon for the diet problems I have with no Pancreas. I would appreciate a straightforward carbs regimen I can follow. [/QUOTE]
