Hi @Aimee1 :)

Your post got lost in the thread you posted in so I've started a new thread for you :)

Can you tell us a little more? What insulin do you take and when? Do you count carbs?

Hmm, I'd keep asking your DSN as one may come up. You could also ask to see a dietician, who may be able to help. The basic principles are simple.

There's also an online course here:
