[QUOTE="eabhamurphy, post: 187308, member: 21358"] Hiya! Hope your finding you new diabetic life to be alright! I was diagnosed t1 in July 09. At the time they put me on Lantus and Novorapid (Im still on both) but my dose was to be 8-8-8u novo at meals and 24 lantus at night. I now take 10u Lantus at night and only take novo with carbohydate based meals - say for example tonight i had a pizza (rarity - generally i eat low carb) and I gave myself 5 units novo..I usually only have 2units/day. So my average TDD is 12 units total (compared to the 48 units I was intially prescribed!!!!) I mean the intial doses would have me in a coma now! Crazy! But at diagnosis my body seemed to be very resistant to insulin so I guess it made sense to the nurses. In short if your getting values of between 5-8mmol that is FANTASTIC and you should keep doing what your doing. Keep monitoring you BG and tweek your insulin dose accordingly. I didnt have a honeymoon - its been the same for me all along. Just need to see what path your diabetes takes but you will be able to adjust your insulin correctly regardless - Dont worry! If your motivated youll be fine. Eabha :) [/QUOTE]
