[QUOTE="kaylz91, post: 2195127, member: 358175"] I would assume your levels are lower because it might have been to much insulin for what you ate, ask about carb counting as soon as you can as it makes a whole load of difference As your newly diagnosed and still on set units then yes I'd say take it after as depending on what your eating 8 units is quite a lot so just be mindful of ending up with a hypo, it will become easier, you seem like your more than likely going to be diagnosed Type 1 and yes there will be a lot to learn but for now just do the best you can, when you do get to carb counting you will end up finding a ratio on what amount of insulin you need for x amount of carbs and generally if we were sitting low pre meal we would reduce the insulin by an appropriate amount but that's something you will learn in time xx [/QUOTE]
