Symptoms to be expected ?

Hi
I am a month in to the insulin treatment and finding my way. Just checking is it normal to wake / go to bed with a headache / nausea. Seem to feel like this most days despite being told by my DSN that I am doing well? Is it because my body is adapting to new sugar levels? On another note. My eyes sometimes are good but often still quite blurred, is this too also common early in treatment?

No.

I guess it could be.

Yes, that can happen when blood glucose is changing. Once you're more stable your vision should also become more stable.

Thanks Bruce. Hoping these will settle down my DSN did not seem too concerned when I mentioned them so hopefully short term.
