Trying to relax about levels and get this

[kaylz91]

So was 6.0mmol before lunch today then 2 hours later was 7.8mmol, just got slagged by the lad telling me that's too much of a jump, makes me feel like utter **** and a failure x

2 mmol´s raise from the number before the meal is what I was taught was okay...
what is more important is that the number levels down into normal area at the latest 2 hours after the meal...


we are actually all very different, some have a much more severe insulin resistance and some can´t do the very low carb eating style.

you have to be your own Anchor, and decide what is your personal goals.

I think you should mostly focus on any development that goes in the right direction.. just decide your own main focus...

as more people in here has said; this is not a sprint this is more like a lifelong Marathon... and we (almost ) all fail once in a while and have better and worse periods where our efforts varies

@kaylz91 . Sounds great to me. I'd be happy as a pig in s**t if that was me.
Is lad a fellow T1?
If he is then he's probably really boring
If he's not then ignore him and be a happy diabetic with good numbers.

 

[kaylz91]

No he's not diabetic and only knows what he's read on the internet which clearly isn't very much as he would realise that this was ok and acceptable x

 

[kaylz91]

And someone could have pointed out what was actually in the original thread! Lol I feel so embarrassed at that! Hate predictive text lol x

@kaylz91 . Best smile I've had today. Did think what would have happened if yours sugars had been really high.
Slagged is more appropriate but previous was far more funny.

I did have a little chuckle to myself before I edited it but oh my god it's so embarrassing and hope not too many saw it! Haha x

Oh no you saw it too! I think I'll stay off of here for a while and show my face when people have forgotten! Haha x

I didn't see it but I think I can guess the typo

Sounds like a classic example of someone with a bit of theoretical knowledge having no idea when it comes to the practicalities in the real world. I must be positively screwed by that standard with my 9.2 after lunch today!

 

[therower]

@db89 . OMG......9.2.
You'll leave us with no choice but to publicly flog you.

Sound fine to me as long as it’s back to your normal before the next meal

Was at 5.1 before my next meal so all was good x

My sin was messing up the timing of the bolus. I promise to try harder

@kaylz91 keep doing as you are and occasionally remind yourself you got this!

guy a numpty and well done on good bloods

@kaylz91 Hun cut yourself some slack, that's nothing to worry about, not quite sure where this lad gets his online knowledge from but until he walks in your shoes then he's got no idea what your dealing with, maybe when he gets a PhD then he will start to come close but until then ignore his comments. A post meal spike is typical for diabetics, some will pre bolus by say up to 20 mins to counter it, but the most important reading is your pre meal test, as long as you are in range again at this point then your bolus calculation was correct and did the job.

Next time you see him tell him to shove it.
