[QUOTE="SB.25, post: 1991996, member: 496757"] Hiya, I am also quite newly diagnosed but they are still working out my type as I’m not a clear cut case. This has been going on since November 2018. I’m on long lasting and quick acting and my dosages are always changing as it is really trial and error. I was initially on 6 units of long acting but that is now 16. I was also very scared of the insulin at first, but I I feel so much better and you do get used to it. When I was first diagnosed I ended up cutting out basically everything out and lost 1 stone in 3 weeks (I was thin to begin with anyway). They key is don’t panic and also don’t be alarmed if it takes a while to get your dosages correct. As someone once said to me on this forum, diabetes is not a race it’s a marathon. I 100% agree with this. Things will get easier and you will feel better soon I’m sure others who have much more experience than me can produce much better guidance :) [/QUOTE]
