They set it up recently so they explained it at the time and it seemed easy at that point and I always seem to forget to ask them at my next appointment but I don't need to now. Thank u i really appreciate it

There is a lot to learn at the start (and after years!!). I find it very helpful to have a notebook into which I write down questions as they arise. Sometimes I answer them myself ( by asking on here or reading or ...) and otherwise I have reminders to ask my consultant DSN at the next appointment.

It is also good to look back at these and remind myself how much I have learnt. Especially useful when things go haywire and I need reminding that I am doing okay. In addition sometimes I look back at the solutions I found and realise that it prompts an answer to a new question.
 
I'm sorry that you're feeling like this but completely understand. When you test your blood does it tell you how much insulin to have? You may have to press a confirm button to get the amount of insulin? That is your correction dose and how much you should inject. You should then test again in two hours. Good luck with getting it sorted.
Yeh it does do that. I just didn't put the right carbs in the sugar machine.
