Thank you so much for the link. I have read it twice now and will again I am sure. I find the information very useful.
JAT1 - Several folks on this site follow the principles of Dr Bernstein's theory of small numbers, with varying success. Some love it and some find it quite extreme for the longer term.
One further comment I would make is to ensure you keep a good supply of test strips - especially in these early days when you are not too familiar with how your body necessarily reacts to insulin, per se, how your underlying natural insulin may be performing (many newly diagnosed T1s still have some natural insulin being produced, just not nearly enough of it, and not necessarily consistently. A newly diagnosed T1 can have natural insulin released to spurts and stops. And finally, if you are altering your routine at all, you would be very strongly advised to test
lots. I mean, LOTS.
Insulin is a very powerful drug, but in a newly diagnosed person trying to interleave a new insulin regime, maybe a new eating regime and still have their body performing variably (in terms of their natural insulin), it can all become a bit of a lottery.
Please be very, very careful.
Please don't interpret my post as scaremongering. That isn't my objective. My objective is to ensure you understand the level of caution it could be wise to apply in these early days.
