Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anna w" data-source="post: 2738637" data-attributes="member: 594355">Hi I got taken to a&e last week with DKA -and discharged home on lantus 8 units and novorapid between 2-4 units (4 if BS higher  than 14)This is all very new to me (last week) and the diabetic nurses are short staffed so my support is little. I bought a libra 2 off Amazon as I have been told this can only be prescribed once confirmed with autoimmune bloods I feel extremely scared I. Particular at this time as my blood sugars drop to 3.5- I have eaten the 5 jelly babies which is bringing back up.For my evening meal I didn’t know whether to take Insulin as BS was 6 so I took a jelly baby to go to 7 then had 2 units of novorapid with chicken brocolli and one slice of bread - I wouldn’t have had the bread but know I need carbs (1) should I take insulin if Bs is 5? (2) is it ok to not eat carbs and not to have insulin (3) is the one piece of brown bread too little carb for the 2 units (4) if my blood sugar goes high later should I drink water and exercise So sorry for the questions but feeling very scared ThanksAnn</blockquote>
