Terrified.

Okay so here's my story. I failed my 1 hr test, passed the 3 hr but my fasting level was 98. They started me with a diet and monitoring my fasting levels. They've been between 80-95... On average my numbers have been between 86-92 . today I saw the endocrinologist and he wants me to test after every meal...which is no big deal... But he also started me on bed time insulin (10 N). He says even though the numbers aren't bad they're not consistent enough. I'm terrified to do this insulin thing. I have very little knowledge on this and I'm afraid I'll like die in my sleep because my sugar will drop too low. Am I being ridiculous?
