Had my first appointment with the specialist nurses today. She’s adjusted my morning Lantus cos she thinks that why I’m dipping so much in the day. Had a hypo while I was in there. Suppose if you’re gonna do it, there’s nowhere better lol first time it’s happened away from home. I just cry uncontrollably when it happens & she just said that’s my “hypo thing” & better than being aggressive or angry.
I feel a lot more positive now she’s given me a good book & a flow chart & actually being able to speak face to face with someone. Booked in with the dietician on 6th April although she was impressed with my carb counting (following tips from here, thank you)
Hope everyone is having an ok day
 
Great to hear Lolilou 🙂 Hypos make you emotional, it's true, because your brain is slightly panicking at the low blood sugar - hopefully the adjustments will minimise the hypos for you 🙂 Keep us updated! 🙂
