[QUOTE="smwsmw, post: 1727276, member: 222058"] I’m shocked at the lack of professional support you are getting! I imagine they are starting you on less insulin than they think you will eventually need, in order to gradually and safely increase it. I am Type 1 and worked nights for ten years and that adds to the challenge - if you have not been referred to a Diabetes Nurse Specialist, rather than seeing nurse at GP, I suggest you request referral to one. You really need more support than you are currently receiving. Wishing you the best of luck with it all xxx Oh, and with Novorapid, you don’t have to stick to strict mealtimes - you inject when you eat. When I was first diagnosed about a hundred years ago, I was on old long-acting insulins and had to eat at very set times, but not any more - there is a bit more flexibility with Lantus and Novorapid. Lantus given same time of day regardless of what else is going on. [/QUOTE]
