Newly diagnosed diabetes type 1

[donnellysdogs]

Hi all

Thanks for the support messages, they are appreciated

Update

I was concerned that my BG levels weren't down to the 'norm' range, but I had a call from the nurse yesterday who explained that this is normal, and it takes a while

Created the attached chart which demonstrates its definitely heading in the right direction.

I'm not finding the diet/carb counting too bad, it is a change of routine as I rarely had breakfast or dinner, now I am forcing myself to have them

I've spent this week working from home, so I can get my head round all this, I travel extensively through work (UK) but the acid test will be making it work in real life with hotel meals etc..

Thank for reading

You'll get there.... I only eat one meal a day in the evenings. I can't force myself to eat. Tried it a while back and not good for me. My attitude is that I have a disease but it shouldn't mean I have to change 50 years of eating habits...i'm lucky that I've come off insulin pump after 5 years and have founf my way to getting just as good levels back on pens AND without having to literally force feed myself...

You'll find your way to adapt, I'm sure of it.
