[QUOTE="Carl40, post: 2402902, member: 537263"] Thanks for this, really informative! When I did my first test on 29th Jan I was getting 22.4 and had to take 12 units of insulin. Wasn't even that thirsty at the time so god only knows what my levels were pre-diagnosis! Worst I got was a few days later at 29.9. These days I'm averaging between 5 and 7 with the occasional higher and lower reading. Definitely noting your points about relying solely on meds for this - really fair point, am always adjusting food intake and insulin levels - was advised recently to drop from three metformin a day to two to reduce risk of me going too low. Cutting out carbs for me would be an absolute last resort and if things start creeping up I'll definitely give it more of a go but for now it seems ok to proceed as I am but as you say - awareness, monitoring are critical.
