Found out now have LADA

Hi
So my first post here, I was diagnosed with type 2 7 years ago although I had symptoms just before I got pregnant and had lost a lot of weight very quickly! Was put on to humalin straight away when pregnant then have been on that up until a few weeks ago! Do admit that i wasn’t checking my sugars for the last few months and I know my sugars were high.
3 weeks ago I got the flu, an infection and ended up with an ambulance ride to hospital where i found out had a DKA so spent 4 nights in hospital and they tested what diabetes I had and it turns out have got LADA!
My insulin has been changed and I am now on lantus 38 units in the morning with between 10-12 units of novorapid before meals and levels have come down to between 5 and 8 but it is around 8 on waking.
My question is I am having about 8g carbs per meal and no snacks and it feels like I am having too much novorapid for that amount of carbs does that sound about right or should I be upping my lantus?
Thank you!

Hi
Thanks for your replies, I have got an appointment at the hospital with my diabetes nurse next week so can talk to her about it but I don’t think my ratios are right yet!
I have started carb counting a bit but still can’t work out the ratios as like I said the amount of novorapid I take doesn’t tally with the amount of carbs I’m having
And yes my bmi is high but working on it 10kgs down so far, so hoping that I can get it down a lot more.
Thanks again

Are you sure you eat only 8 grams of carbs per meal?

Yes have been logging it all and it is been between 1-10 per meal averaging about 8.
Having been having omelettes with cheese and spinach for breakfast, last night dinner was cod with courgettes, aubergine and creamy mushrooms.
I upped my lantus by one unit yesterday morning and had my lowest reading on waking this morning of 7.1 so think I may just have to up my lantus a bit more and then hopefully as I lose weight I can reduce it.
