[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2131335, member: 503481"] Hello, :) 1. My mum was more worried because she watched me deteriorate very quickly. She was also angry at doctors who just prescribe antibiotics without asking for a blood tests or anything. I guess I'm very lucky in a sense that I am alive and there is something to help us all live, which was insulin. I know my dad didn't take it well, being 8 at the time I was very upset to hear my dad blame me for everything - dietary changes etc. I guess from there on wards I experienced depression quite young. 2. Basal/bolus is very good. I too struggled on mixed insulin back in 2001-2006/7, basal/bolus is fantastic at giving us flexibility. You have to watch out for hypos and hypers, make sure you don't over treat either. Some things might be trial and error for carbs, I know some people calculate carbs for their foods correctly but end up hypo because the carbs on the label was incorrect. I record all my readings on my app. Some type 1's use an index book to label carbs like A for apple + how much it weighs = how many carbs. So when you have it again, you can search it and calculate it from there. I also know some of us make a rough estimation with kitchen utensils - I know two scoops of rice using a ladle is about 60g of carbs, not heaped though. 3. Yes I do, quite badly as well. I showed my DSN yesterday that I have 6 bruises in 6 different areas of my thigh. Sometimes we hit a nerve. It could also be your technique or needle size. 4. Carb counting course if you wish to know more about diabetes in depth. It's very important to know what to do in certain circumstances, like illness, stress, exercise, adult activities, etc so you can adjust your dose according to activities and carbs. Also learning about insulin profiles, you might find one insulin doesn't quite suit you and find something else. I know I've moved from novorapid and levemir to fiasp and tresiba and it is good.
