[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 1634649, member: 142835"] Hi [USER=444389]@daisypettitt[/USER] welcome !! :) I see in your first post that you were diagnosed back in April of this year. this would mean you are probably experiencing some "honeymoon period" issues -- where your pancreas is still sort of spluttering a bit of insulin now and then and making things a bit [B]unpredictable. [/B] you say you are not allowed to give a correction after your breakfast and before lunch as you are only diagnosed 7 months it sounds as though your diabetic nurse is just being cautious for your safety. I would certainly recommend that you have another chat with her soon. I would also ask her about going on a carb counting course ( usually called DAFNE ) - dose adjustment for normal eating. do you have a 1/2 unit pen for your fast acting insulin ? this can be great for people on lower doses and more sensitive - as they can dial in 1unit , or 1.5unit or 2unit and so on. it is a way of being more precise. finally -- Diabetes is tough to get your head round -- there is so much to take in and it seems fairly lonely at times. I am really pleased you found us -- a great group of people all sharing the same condition as you. Do hang around and continue posting all the best ! himtoo [/QUOTE]
