[QUOTE="PeteN11, post: 2294386, member: 516926"] Glad you are OK [USER=528607]@Gembow[/USER] and there is no such thing as a simple question on here.:) As newly diagnosed I would have been more than happy with the kind of numbers you have been getting. diabetes.co.uk says For people with type 1 diabetes, blood sugar level targets are as follows: [LIST] [*][B]Before meals [/B]: 4 to 7 mmol/L [*][B]After meals [/B]: under 9 mmol/L [/LIST] Being just over those "targets" is not going to do you a great deal of harm and is certainly better than what you went through. The amount of insulin you inject is totally individual to you. A chap on a recent course was injecting 1-2 units of the Orange stuff for each meal whereas I use between 10-25 depending on the amount of carbs. The best way I found was, as suggested above, is to keep a log and test your BG as often as possible. Most of us live a fairly repetitive lifestyle enabling you to look back and make small adjustments to doses over a period of time to try to reach those targets. Good luck and do your best to stay away from them lows.:stop: [/QUOTE]
