You will rapidly come to terms with it as you learn what works for you and how to manage your insulin for a normal life. Diet-wise keep the carbs down to some extent to minimise blood sugar (BS) swings. Ensure you get some advice for controlling your Lantus from the nurse or come back here if you can't get that advice. You may currently be on fixed doses of the Novorapid for each meal which is common for Newbies. You may also have been started on a low (safe) dose. If so you should be started on carb-counting the Novo shortly which means adjusting the shots to suit the carbs in each meal. Do ask if the advice isn't given. Once balanced with carb-counting you should find you have good control and as long as you test often enough your worries should recede. Believe me you will soon become used to the insulin routine and it will hardly affect your life. Do make sure you test before and during driving though following DVLA guidelines; it does make sense.</p></blockquote><p></p>
