I've been diagnosed with Type 1 for 6 weeks and am on Levemir (8u/5u) and Novorapid (3u/3u/3u). I've been getting BG readings of 10-14 before meals, even though I'm eating small, low carb, low GI meals and waiting up to 6 hours between meals - despite being desperate to snack! Is there anyone out there with more experience than me who could let me know if this is normal at this stage or whether I'm doing something majorly wrong. My DSN has told me only to adjust my Novorapid according to the meter reading before meals ( +1u when over 11) but not to adjust at any other time, for at least 6 months.
