[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2107603, member: 503481"] Hello, welcome to the squad! I don't know how things are in T1 diagnosis nowadays because I was diagnosed at a quite young age in 2001. I saw the DSN few days into my diagnoses at the children's ward. So I cannot comment but I am sorry you feel abandoned. I guess things take time for you to settle, of course high numbers are a cause of concern, keep testing, stay hydrated and test for ketones. As some have said, they probably gave you those units as a starting point so you don't risk going hypo until you have seen your diabetes team. I hope you do have a contact number to ask for some help for the time being. I'm glad you're keen on carb counting but I think it'll be a juggle before getting onto that stage, first priority is trying to get those numbers down. [USER=504712]@ert[/USER] I think the two hour point is too soon in some cases because OP's novorapid is in the system for 4 hours, if you're telling OP to check at two hour mark it'll be high because it's either insulin hasn't kicked in yet to catch up with food or food has just started to digest, also some people rage bolus at the 2 hour mark ending in a hypo. A guideline would be to wait 4 hours before making a correction. [/QUOTE]
