[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2051271, member: 21149"] Hi. Glad to have come through the worst. Mis-diagnosis by GPs of diabetes type is common and many of us rely on Dr Google and this forum to work it out. I suspect 2 weeks off work should be enough. It's important not to think about diabetes as a disability; merely a nuisance that needs some care. You may not yet have been shown how to carb-count the Bolus dose and probably have a fairly low Bolus fixed dose to avoid a hypo. Shortly you should move on to carb-counting where you can gradually get the dosage right and minimise hypo risk and large swings. Frequent testing should avoid a surprise hypo. Once you get the insulins balanced and carb-count, serious hypos should be rare event. [/QUOTE]
