[QUOTE="JMoli, post: 2410646, member: 518411"] Hi, oh no you have such a lot on your plate. Is there any way you can ask for a dietician to help? They work alongside the diabetic teams in hospital and I found them to be so helpful in the early days. He/she can help work out your carb ratios (if you are eligible for a Libre you can share your readings with them) and discuss meals and food issues. I’m egg and dairy intolerant and pretty slim so found food/gaining weight really tricky for a long time and I think it can take a good few months to get confident with eating/dosing and learning the timings of when to take insulin. Maybe make a food planner and get a notebook to jot down how you react to certain foods/carbs. It must all seem so overwhelming for you just now, I’m over a year into this and still have days where I struggle but it does get easier and it may take time but you’ll get there xx [/QUOTE]
