Hello I was diagnosed with type 1 on Wednesday. Went to g.p and blood glucose 18.5 and high ketones in urine. Weight loss. Thirsty. Headaches. Sent me straight to hospital! Waiting for the bloods to confirm it’s definitely type 1.
Started insulin 10 units a day. This was put up to 14 a day on Friday but doesn’t seem to be going down? On waking it’s 11 or 12 and during the day 14-16.
Spoke to a dietitian and I’m having cereal for breakfast. And lunch and tea I’m doing 1/2 veg/salad 1/4 protein 1/4 carbs. I’ve stopped all snacks crisp/chocolate/biscuits instead I’m eating fruit and an odd yoghurt. I’m feel quite frightened of food now I actually feel a bit lost because this is all new to me and a complete shock! I have a telephone call on Wednesday with my nurse. I also have coeliac disease and fibromyalgia
