[QUOTE="Poodlelady, post: 230425, member: 37131"] I went to see the Rheumatologist, she was going to inject my shoulder but wanted me to have an X-ray first. Well, as things would have it, I had an appointment with my Specialist Diabetes Nurse and X-ray were runny late. So off I shot and had a shock. My insulin has been completely changed to NovaRapid and Levemir. As I understand it, the NovaRapid is to be injected just before or after eating, first taking blood sugar levels. The Levemir is to be injected at bed time. OK, I am an old lady and do get a little bit muddled from time to time, but even I think I understand this routien. The levels to start me on have been worked out by the SDN and she will phone me on Wednesday to see how I am getting on. Do I have to really knuckle down now and watch exactly what I eat or do I have more flexibility? This is all so new, the SDN didn't really explain about food at all and has made an appointment for me to see the diatician and to go on a course to understand about food, insulin and diabetes. I won't tell you I am not scared, I am, scared stiff and also at the same time hoping that this will give me better readings and less hypos during the night. At least I am hoping that I won't have to eat until I am full to busting before going to bed because my sugars are too low (because of the steroids). I now look to you for adivce and help please [/QUOTE]
