Hey, I was diagnosed on NYE 2017 of all days. It came as a shock and was in hospital with a DKA diag for a few days, very new to the whole system of things even with 7 months of a whole new lifestyle. I take 2 types of insulin 4 times a day and metformin 2g (for a different medical condition). Here to get any hints and tips from anyone, I have been very lucky and have a good supportive partner and family (no family history of diabetes at all) I do however feel alone sometimes and find I can't really talk my worries with anyone or any queries I have mostly go unanswered.
I do however have one query that has been niggling at me. Due to the hot weather and my job, I have had a few days where I've not taken any fast acting insulin just my daily long acting dose as my BG has been too long and was getting too many hypos. Has anyone else experienced this? And was that the right thing to do?
