Hey Jaxx01,
I have a feeling i know u 😉
Everyone heres an amazing person and i have now had the pleasure of meeting quite a few since joining 4 yrs ago (at regular and annual drinks/meet ups) i think we all at some point have sent that panic message, i did...and they all rallied around and welcomed me, comforted me and told me that all diabetics are different, which is the best advice, rather then trying to compare u to their condition. I now have been able to pass on what these guys have all taught me to other newbies.
I was on Novomix 30, it's mostly long acting insulin, but yes keep haribos with u incase. Look at it as training insulin, once u get used to being on Mix 25 and the injecting and taking ur Blood sugar and counting carbs, they will prob give u the 2 insulins, novorapid (fast acting for food) and lantus (nightime long acting).
The first couple of weeks/months are goin be a mine field of stuff,... but take it day by day, theres so much info on here and people that have gone through similar, if not the same stuff, it will all start to make sense and it will be less scary.
Your D will become clearer as time goes on, your diabetic team are just trying to find what suits u, even if it does sound a tad confusing with T1, T2 and lots of other types out there, i guess the main concern is baby, but it totally sounds like they are hot on it.
Fear is the unknown and you've started out by grabbing the bull by the horns, you'll b an expert b4 u know it.
I sense you're a savvy wee lass lolol
Keep us posted with whats goin on, i know u don't want to bore us, but it's cool 😎
sorry for essay
