Firstly, thanks to everyone who wished me well.
Just had my insulin training session, oh so simple! They have put me initially on 10 units of Lantus in the evening along with 2 x Metformin slow release also in the evening.
I have to go back in 2 weeks, for 'more training' (?), and possibly be told to take an other 10 units of Lantus in the morning.
Does this regime mean anything to other insulin users? The special nurse shocked me when she said not to be surprised if my readings go up before they settle. UP, they are in the 20s already. We shall have to see.
So, she gave me more than enought to get me started, and I am so impressed by the gizmo for collecting used needles, it is like a small stapler.
So, bye for now
