Hi Julie, welcome to the forum 🙂 I think it can often be difficult for people when they are used to one insulin regime to be moved onto a new one, but hopefully once you are over the teething troubles you will find that 4 injections gives you better control and greater flexibility 🙂 Have you been taught to carb count, or are you on fixed doses? Do let us know if you have any questions - you're not expected to know everything and there are no 'silly' questions here, so please let us know if we can help you get your head round things! 🙂

Hi Julie and welcome to the forum.
Sorry to hear you is well and truly confuzzled Have you not been given any instructions or education in carb counting and how to adjust your insulin?
If you haven't then I would class that as negligent by your care! team.
Go back to your dsn and say oi excuse me but what the heck am I suposed to be doing with this stuff.
Perhaps also invest in a couple of books called think like a pancreas and using insulin.
Both can be found on amazon 🙂
Any questions and I'm sure someone will be able to help you out, so just ask away.
