Hi, I'm a confused newly diagnosed type 1

I'm glad you mentioned that.. If it works out you need an extra ½, and only have single units, do you round up or down?

Have they given you disposable pens ? They usually do . If so you can ask for the re usable Novo Echo pens that I use . They can deliver half units and have a very basic display that lets you know how many hours ago you injected an how much, this is very handy for those did I or didn’t i moments.
Make sure you get two different colours though.
It’s easy to change the cartridges and takes up less space in the fridge plus far less waste

When I was in that situation it depended on what I was going to be doing. If I was going to be inactive I rounded up, if active I rounded down. (Then got frustrated as 1/2 unit extra when I was only needing 2 or three units was a big amount so I asked for 1/2 unit pens and it made life a lot easier.)

I'd recommend half unit pens too. But as to rounding up or down in the meanwhile - I'd round down if your blood sugar's under about 6.5 and up if it's over that, and see what happens by testing a couple of hours later and then again a couple of hours after that. After you've tried that a few times, you may find you need to make it 6, or 7, or 7.5 ...

Nothing to add to the great advice you've had already, but just wanted to say 'welcome' to the club no one wants to join!
