Welcome aboard, Martin/Tazman - good to meet you! You've had quite a ride already in your first days/weeks since diagnosis.
I have no experience with insulin, but what I know from others is that you are going to see fairly quick responses now that you are using it. Since you are also being careful with diet & meds, you should be fine before very long. Good for your doctor moving quickly to get your numbers down. What other meds are you taking?
Thank you for joining us - I hope you come around often and keep us posted on your progress.
take care,
