[QUOTE="AndyS, post: 240027, member: 20775"] Hi Arty, For 3 weeks post diagnosis these levels are really good. There is evidence that bringing your levels right back down too fast can actually cause problems themselves. One thing that could be happening is you could be experiencing a "honeymoon" period where your pancreas is still producing a little insulin which is why you are on such low doses of insulin right now. This may in time change and you will see that your requirements rise. For the moment I would suggest that you follow what your Diabetic Specialist Nurse has to say (not to be confused with a practice nurse at your GP). In time you should get offered a place on a DAFNE course which will teach you a lot more about managing diabetes but they typically don't even mention it to start with since for the first few months you have enough to cope with. I'm sure one of the moderators will be along shortly and will post the usual intro which includes some very useful links and I would recomend that you spend some time doing some reading. When I was diagnosed a couple of years ago I did just that and found this site, one link my wife found that was a reat help for me was this one: [url=http://bdec-e-learning.com/]http://bdec-e-learning.com/[/url] You will need to resgister and set up a login but it is full of great information about carb counting, dose adjustments and recognising hypos. Best of luck /A [/QUOTE]
