Hi,
I have only recently been diagnosed and was on oral medication for 3 months but two weeks ago was diagnosed as type 1.5 and put on insulin. Was told its unusual because I am 51 years old.Lowest glucose level I have achieved is 12.4 once in a morning a few days ago, and am still averaging around 17 down from 28. Have increased on nurses advice to twice the insulin I was up to 16 twice a day. How long does it normally take to get down below 8. Problem with it being Xmas stuck for help and worry I should be doing better.All still a bit confusing.
