[QUOTE="Charles Robin, post: 743585, member: 92241"] The information around you can be as useful or inhibiting as you let it. I monitor as much as I possibly can in relation to my diabetes. It hasn't taken away from my job as a piano teacher and accompanist. I have only had what I consider 'good' diabetic control for the last year, since starting low carb and keeping a constant eye on things. It's also the year I achieved a lifelong ambition of writing a first draft of a novel. That said, it's a good idea to keep things in moderation. My wife and I have been making small changes, hopefully for the better. We don't use our phones at meals, or when out socialising. I still definitely check Facebook more than I should, but that's the next challenge :p. Technology is a fantastic tool, but so is the ability to switch it off sometimes. [/QUOTE]
