[QUOTE="RobertJ, post: 2539147, member: 351599"] Yes, I have a Libre too and it's definitely given me the confidence to be bolder with doses but I've had it since 2016 and my hba1c is still not that good. I, too, catch hypos before they happen but it's annoying having to eat extra things all the time. I've heard from other type 1 people that simply eating less carbohydrate makes everything easier and I guess I do that sometimes. For a lot of my life, though, I've simply operated on the DAFNE ideology that you're supposed to eat whatever you want, and did so. It's only in very recent times that I was diagnosed with background retinopathy that I've started to take my diabetes even more seriously than before. I am now questioning more food and drink is actually worth it when weighed against the chaos it could cause with my blood sugars. The message of DAFNE (when I first did a course) was definitely to do whatever you like but I now think that message was too simplistic. [/QUOTE]
