[QUOTE="porl69, post: 2280753, member: 334119"] Hi [USER=518087]@Chloelox[/USER] and welcome to the forum. When you are first diagnosed type 1 your pancrease is still trying its hardest to produce insulin, it does this in fits and spurts until it packs in completely....this is the honeymoon period and makes your control very difficult, and can vary in how long it lasts (PITA). With your insulin and the effects it has will depend on the type of food you eat....fatty foods will release their carbs a lot slower than not fatty foods, so you would possibly hypo early on then BGs would rise after a few hours. Its a massive learning curves with food that will come to you when you get to terms with what effects your bloods. Hope that makes sense? Your diabetes team looks like they are doing good for you and they will always help you out, don't be shy in phoning them and asking for help OR pop a question on here and someone will be along to give guidance. You seem to me coping fairly well so far. Get onto your DSN (diabetic specialist nurse) and tell them the difficulties that you are having with your GP and test strips and they will write to your GP for you. PS....congratulations on the birth of your daughter :) [/QUOTE]
