[QUOTE="TashT1, post: 2306572, member: 526953"] Hi I was diagnosed nearly 3 months ago and it is really scary at first (sometimes still is) but it is amazing how much you can learn very quickly. What I did not realise at first was that it can take time for your levels to come down & that causes excess stress because I thought I was doing something wrong, but as long as they are going down & not up that is good! What sort of typical meals do you like to eat? Making a couple of small changes away from carbs can make a big difference especially whilst you are learning how to dose correctly. I’ve not fully learned how to bolus for what I’m eating yet so I eat to my insulin dose, but I am gradually changing that & testing my limits. Keeping a food & testing log really helps, as does having a free style libra that constantly measures my BG, it might be worth seeing if you can get one on prescription or self fund while your figuring things out. Take each day as it comes, learn as much as you can but at your own speed. Diabetes UK have a good learning centre, I also found an online hypo awareness course that helped to stop worrying.
