[QUOTE="Gembow, post: 2294231, member: 528607"] I’m new to diabetes type one. I had pre diabetes back in March and now I’m officially diabetic ☹️ My sister was also diabetic, sadly she died 2 years ago in her sleep. BeCause of this coronavirus I haven’t had much help with learning how to look after myself. I was given my insulin and the consultant quickly ran through that I needed to start on a slow insulin release pen first at night using 10 units. He used a orange pen as an example how to remove air etc. Anyhow I decided to start my insulin last night due to high reading in the morning of 8. I used the novorapid 10 units while I was 7.4 just as I went to bed as this was the orange pen. I woke up after an hour drenched in sweat, disorientated and bloods at 1.6. I managed to get back up after a worrying hour. So it turns out I gave myself the rapid orange pen bY mistake and should have had the grey one my mum after loosing my sister is on my case and I wondered how long it took others to get proper diabetic training after diagnosis?
