Well, that's my week over, I can't praise them enough,
I've learned so very much, everything you need to know about carb counting, sick day rules are invaluable! sensible eating, and insulin adjustments - this gave me so much more confidence in adjusting my ratios and background insulin.
My BG's were all over the place last week, but now after reducing my background insulin and tweaking my ratio's I'm getting some nice level readings.
It also dispels some dodgy advice we'd all been given by different sources, I'd always thought that upping your background insulin would lower your overall readings, but was so very wrong. Gone are the hypo's at night, thank's to my reduction in Lantus.
We also brought up the subject of low carbing, It wasn't pooo poo'd as I thought it might be, but put into perspective and we are told the roles that all the food groups played in keeping us healthy. I can look at it all in a different way now.
One thing I do know is that I will form my own opinions as to what to do with my diabetes rather than listen to so many different people who try to bully you into doing it their way!
Over the week we all came good friends and were all of the opinion that it was nice to discuss between ourselves our own problems and that we all knew what it felt like. and pledged to each other we'd all be there for each other, which is so nice!
Looking forward to catching up with everyone on our 6wk review day.
