    Work and travel affects my control

    Thank you both for the replies. Yes I understand that the snacking with no insulin is probably my biggest contributing factor. I will try to deal with this bit first I think. I try not to alter my ratio for work as with no pattern to my work with working hours, working days, travel times and...

    Why does my sugar vary from day to day

    Ok thanks for that information, an interesting read. I find my blood sugars are normally lower on warmer days. Not sure if this is because I drink more or the fact that I get hot and bothered doing things jobs/work , which could be classed as a form of stress. I will certainly try it and see...

    Why does my sugar vary from day to day

    This one caught my attention and wondered if someone could elaborate? Am a right in assuming the more water we drink the better the blood sugar levels or is there more to it? I certainly don't drink huge amounts and certainly don't have super tight control. Thanks Adie
