[QUOTE="Soplewis12, post: 2455585, member: 71170"] Morning Andrew, I was diagnosed at 21 and am now 52 but still remember the shock of diagnosis. Please do not be hard on yourself (from one person who learned through experience). Just now for you is just a period of settling down & getting to know your bodies needs. With regards to the food spikes always make sure you bolus before eating, follow the guidelines for your type of bolus insulin. Great that you have a libre as this will help. I started using an insulin pump in March, which was another huge learning curve. 9 months down the line I'm feeling confident in using it, joined a gym, etc. You will get there it just takes time, be kind to yourself. I am also Scottish, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde. What health board are you with? [/QUOTE]
