[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2447241, member: 372717"] Welcome to the forums [USER=549385]@Newbie89[/USER] Those are all very good questions, not simple at all (and no questions are too simple for these forums anyway, as we are all here to help). You sound like you have made an excellent start. Do you have a contact that you can email or talk to about adjusting your insulin doses? (I suspect that [USER=504712]@ert[/USER] may be right that you need to adjust your night time basal (levemir) but we are not doctors here and can't give specific dosing advice.) I would hope that a new insulin user would be given a contact so that they can ask questions at any time, but maybe I'm being naive. (And as I was diagnosed over 50 years ago and have been out of the UK for 20 years I have no personal experience with the current NHS system for newly diagnosed T1s) And as for the question as to whether Newbie89's diabetic care will be handled by her GP or her hospital or both, can I gently remind you all that this thread is to help a new T1 with her diabetic care, not just to have an argument over who will supply it.
