[QUOTE="Pheebs, post: 178563, member: 32374"] Wow you must be feeling pretty pants. They've put you on the same as what I had when I was first diagnosed. I didn't get on with it at all as I found it very inconvenient having to eat meals at set times so I pushed for the 4 a day injections, basically inject every time you eat. My bloods were always high on that one too. If you can, ask for a referral to a DAFNE course, i'm promised it's going to help. I've put mine off for years due to lack of interest but am finally going next month. A lot of it is trial and error, finding out your limits. If you've just been diagnosed you're likely to still be in the honeymoon period whereby your pancreas still produces a little bit of insulin, just not a sufficient amount to keep you from falling ill. Don't take what the doctors and nurses say as gospel. Everyone reacts to insulin differently and have different tolerances, for instance what I inject will probably be too much for you. Maybe inject a little bit more, but make sure you test regularly to see what your bloods are doing. That way you can keep on top of what's happening. [/QUOTE]
