Started insulin yesterday

I'm tld I'm in the early stages of type 1 and was put on insulin.
my BHA1C was 13.5 and my daily readings on a pretty low carb diet ranged between 7 and 14.

I now have 8 units of Levemir and 3 units of the rapid stuff with each meal.

Last night I went from 12.7 pre meal to 7.8 after. My fasting was 8.7 this morning (usually over 10) and after my 55 gram of porridge oats with 300ml of milk breakfast it's dropped to 5.2, I'm a little worried that it's gone down too much too soon but don't feel hypo like (maybe a little light headed). Will keep aware, test and treat as the day goes on.

Overall I'm really pleased to be on this path and on my way to a good routine to get me stable.
 
Aw good luck, hopefully having my GAD and CPep test next week so hot on your heels. Like you, no stability despite carb drop. On victoza for a mo pending results.

Keep us updated.

Thanks for the luck, I was glad to be able to chuck the Gliclazide away :)

Re-tested at 9:30 just to be sure and it was back up to 7.1 so no hypo :clap:
