[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2127680, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=513942]@Manfer87[/USER] Well you're not alone now as you have now connected here on the forum so have a ready made abundance of friends :) Yes I have to fish things out the bin too to do my calculations, however not so often as I do most of the cooking at home. I find it hard at times though, particularly when i'm low or high and so end up blaming my diabetes for it, it sometimes feels like me and my condition can ruin the fun at times, I think it's harder for my daughter as she has to grow up with me trying to manage this daily, and it does impact on your life in so many ways despite careful control and management. I also do struggle with certain family/friends now who don't understand the dynamics of the condition, the ones where I end up having to explain that I don't need insulin if i'm going low (despite having told them countless times before) or discussing the merits of drinking champagne/eating cake and the impact on my BG levels. That aspect I haven't worked out how to manage except to put on my hard hat and body armour to go in prepared when having to spend time with them. Doesn't stop me from doing anything though, and if anything I enjoy walking/running/cycling as it liberates me from the condition. [/QUOTE]
