[QUOTE="ert, post: 2310190, member: 504712"] They usually will get some blood tests done, such as GAD antibodies (ask for this and c-peptide), another HbA1c, liver and kidney function, lipid profile. With your high blood sugars, they may suggest you start on just basal (long-acting) insulin which will be one or two injections a day and show you how to do this, with some training. Or they could start you on MDI from the outset, where you also inject short-acting insulin before meals. They will give you a DN contact details that you can phone or email for support. They could enrol you on a DAFNE course if they're offering which is dose adjustment for normal eating. I hope it all goes well and you get the support you need. [/QUOTE]
