[QUOTE="Nidge247, post: 1275114, member: 158871"] Hi [USER=342803]@Char1994[/USER] Firstly your mind will be on overload at the minute, so don't panic about taking it all in. I remember being so ill at diagnosis (hba1c of 101), that my DSN simply put me straight onto a fixed dose of insulin to start to get those levels down. I was told that my sugars were too high, so naively just cut out sugar in drinks and on cereal, and thought it would fall - some hope! As others have said, it's the carbs in your food which cause the sugars (glucose in your blood) to rise, but you need to fully understand how your body is working before rushing to make big changes. I have found a lchf lifestyle works very well for me, but initially simply covered the carbs in my meals with insulin. My DSN set the initial doses for me based on my usual diet at that time. Take little steps just now while the brain fog clears. [/QUOTE]
