Oh dear 7-3-19, that was a bit of a shocker, I'm guessing!I was diagnosed with Type 1 on Friday. I’m currently feeling very stressed, bruised and scared. My BG is very high and has been in the high 20’s and low 30’s for most of yesterday. Is this any concern? Could use some advise or kind words of encouragement!

Could you tell us a bit more about yourself please;, nothing too personal, but what sort of treatment regime they've started you on, and so on.
What guidance did your medical team give you on diagnosis about the high numbers? Do you have a blood sugar machine that allows you to test for ketones? If you do, what is your current ketone number?
Please do keep an eye out for elevated ketones. With numbers any higher than 13, you need to be testing your blood sugars and ketones at least every couple of hours, and drinking plenty of water. If your ketones are elevated, then contact your medical team.I was on a set dosage of insulin injections, but gradually that’s moving upend I’m recording everything I eat. I have a meeting tomorrow to learn how to carb count and that should be good. I do have a ketone checker, I’ll do that a little later! I’ve just done my BG levels, this morning they’re 18.8, so still high but lower than yesterday. I’ll check again in a few hours and I’ll also do ketones.
I’ve been given lots of support lines as well as resources!
