[QUOTE="Stu78, post: 2140647, member: 502697"] Hi all, Another newbie joining the type 1 club! I was diagnosed in March with an hba1c of 66, and was put on two metformin tablets a day whilst waiting for further tests. Last week I was finally told I had type 1, which was a bit of a shock. My recent blood test showed my sugars at 48, so they seem to be going down without insulin at the moment. I had been trying to cut out some sugar and carbs from my diet, but not doing it perfectly, and also exercising a bit, so was pleased with these figures. I`m guessing I am in the "honeymoon period" My diabetic nurse has said when I see her next week, she might put me on low level insulin (without knowing my latest blood sugar figure at that point) I`m a bit scared if I`m put on insulin at the moment I might have more hypos as my finger prick tests are also showing good, before food generally being between 4.8 and 6.4. Just interested to know others experiences are of going onto insulin when in the early stages Stuart [/QUOTE]
