[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 552565, member: 21149"] Hi. First your English is very good and you provided a very clear explanation of your concerns. Once you have become a little more used to having insulin I would expect you to start carb-counting which will make it much easier to avoid hypos and cope with a wide range of meal types. I've been on insulin for just over year now and no longer find it a problem. I just have to remember to have my insulin with me when I go out for a meal and to test before driving. By carb-counting I've been able to avoid any hypos but come close a couple of times. Testing 10 times day sounds a bit on the high side but that will come down as you have better control. Each of us varies and I'm lucky and only test between 1 and 5 times a day; lower than most as I'm quite predictable. Illness does affect your blood sugar as I have just found out and insulin needs to be increased. I nearly always inject for a meal at the table and friends get used to it and ignore it and I've never had anyone else look at me. So good luck. BTW I always carry a few glucose tablets with me and in the car. [/QUOTE]
