[QUOTE="sarzie, post: 1534616, member: 428974"] Hey! Don't stress too much at all, learning to deal and cope with all things blood sugar comes with time. I was diagnosed at the end of last year so I may still be in the honeymoon phase, not really sure. Anyway, it wasn't until about 2 months after my diagnoses that I actually had a hypo so that goes to show how long it took to get my levels down. I remember that for a while I was consistently getting 12 to 8 whenever I tested. This forum is a really great place for advice and learning, however, it may be a good idea to ask your diabetes educator if they know a nutritionist who specialises in diabetes. I know that so many things affect blood sugar and that will always be frustrating and unfortunately, inevitable. However, I found that as soon as I started limiting my carb intake I was able to lower my blood sugar and it has become more stable. My last Hba1c was 5.3%. Start to look into a low-carb diet and if it interests you, talk to your doctor or health specialist to work out how you can do it safely. Overall, just try not to stress, it's so **** difficult sometimes and there is no point in beating yourself up about it :) [/QUOTE]
