[QUOTE="foxyccc, post: 350149, member: 47427"] Hi Hez. My level dropped from between 9 and 10 to 8s after one day on insulin. I am going back to the GP today to monitor how we are getting on. The only thing I noticed last night that I woke up at 2am starving hungry even though I had a normal dinner, and a small snack before bed. I have a slight metalic taste in my mouth too. I had a bowl of porridge this morning and already am hungry! I hope you get your blood glucose reduces. The nurse is going slowly slowly with me, as it took me a long time for my body to adjust to the metformin and glicizide and we are doing the same with the new insulin regime. I think with the anxiety it is something that we all get when we are are told about all the possible problems we can get including hypos. This is why when I woke up hungry last night I thought am I going hypo are am I just hungry! Before diabetes you would just say" boy am I hungry! " I am certainly more anxious now about hypos and the GP has told me to have a snack (preferably fruit!) between meals. I carry a sweet drink around with me together with a few biscuits incase I need to eat! I nearly went hypo when the GP incrased my meds too high for me. I do recognise the hypo symptoms but it does scare you! I tell myself that if I make sure I eat at regular hours and have a snack between meals I will be fine! I am not finding it too hard to inject the insulin but I have to get used to a new diabetic regime! At least I have gone from 7 tablets a day down to four! Hope you get on ok. [/QUOTE]
