There are .5u pens available, I'm assuming your GP has given you a test meter and a repeat prescription for test strips? And if new learn the different forms of carbs bearing in mind that low(er) carbing being your best option, meals I'm posting are a big no I'm afraid but food By Mel dCP and db89 above would suit your condition better.
Tonights meal required a Kit Kat correction after all, which surprised me but I'd dropped to 4.4 with a little insulin left just then, I'm expecting a slow rise shortly from the pasta when the fast acting's finished. I don't eat pasta much and prefer took to whole-wheat when I do, but that allows me to cool and reheat it, tonight's tea was just processed food with more fat than I prefer to eat. I'll eat that maybe 4 times a year.
I've never been on any food or diabetes courses and it's my 34th diaversary this month, I was an apprentice fitter/machinist when diagnosed, banished to the push bike from my Vespa for a few winter months for 07.30 starts, licence to be returned once stable
makes a kind of horse noise a change in household diet for Kev saw the reintroduction of boiled tripe on a Thursday as it's got no sugar in it, soon saw me learn to cook as my dad didn't want to eat what I ate, or that was my blag anyway...
I was 17 then, I'm 51 now, I learned carbs from trial and error, I've awoken at points between 27 and 1.9 in that time, mostly but not all self inflicted and I mostly learn from my mistakes, testing is key, learn you, learn what happens, what you do next, what happens then, see the patterns and learn to work with them...
It's never going to be perfect, a 100 years back we were already dead
but it's a lot better than it was, even in in the short time I've had the infliction
it'll get me one day probably, and if it doesn't then something else will....
