I had my first appointment with the endocrinologist on Wednesday. At the appointment it was decided that I would go straight onto insulin. I have been trying hard to manage my blood sugar, but to no avail. Myself & hubby also are trying to have a baby, so hence everything has to be under control beforehand.
Unfortunately, in my family there are 4 generations with diabetes. My nan type 1, on insulin from the start. Mum, newly put on insulin, myself metformin and now insulin, sister medication only currently.
I’ve been put on to “Levemir”, I’m finding after injecting it. I’m feeling light headed? Is that normal? I have an appointment next Thursday again with the endocrinologist I think just to review how I’ve got on.
I’m only on 10u, been advised to increase by 2u tomorrow depending on blood readings. Then increase again on Tuesday if necessary. Only have to do it once a day currently.
Any hints, tips help and advice welcome , thanks in advance
