Hi Everyone,

I was diagnosed on Wednesday with Type 1 diabetes (now taking novo rapid 4 units 3 times a day with meals and levemeir 10 units once a day) I also have cerebral palsy down my right side which doesn't help when checking my sugar level count.... I'm in shock and scared at the moment of how much I can eat with how much insulin I'm injecting. I've got the carbs and Cals app but I was never good at knowing what I'm eating and how much sugar and carbs I should eating. I've also lost a stone as I didn't know I had type 1 for a couolr of months and I'm already a size 8 so need to try and gain a little weight.

Does anyone have any tips or just basic rules with the insulin I'm injecting at the moment with how many carbs I need to eat with meals ?

Does anyone also have any tips on a easier ways to check your sugar count as I'm one handing im finding it hard juggling the needles, pen and just Getting blood on the strip to test my sugar?

Thanks so much
Amy
