[QUOTE="fairylights, post: 1162615, member: 44416"] I was diagnosed four years ago. Went to my GP one day was seeing a DSN in the hospital the next day. She put me on mixed insulin to start, I didn't have any time off work but she phoned me every day and I saw her every few days for the first few weeks. This worked fine for the first months (honeymoon?) then stopped working so well so, after about 9 months the consultant put me on MDI when I suggested it. I just had a session with a dietician / the DSN to carb count at first. Went on DAFNE around 2 years after diagnosis and went onto a pump a year after this. I can phone and or email my DSN at any time to ask for advice or go in and see her whenever I need to, I have been very happy with my treatment so far. I have a friend from my teenage years who has a brother and sister who have both had T1D since they were children, both of them are on twice daily injections now 40 odd years after diagnosis. Last time I saw my friend she was fascinated by my pump and wondered if her siblings would benefit, But they both only do do BGL tests once a day at most. Perhaps twice daily is better for them.
