Like other have said, and we can't stress it enough, your vision will return to normal. Do not panic. Do not rush out and buy glasses.

That's great chaps, thanks a lot :) Useful info on cholesterol there.

Bump

Can you shed more light on this? Why not in the UK?

24-year-old socialite, happy to discuss diabetes and its affects on an adolescent life (only been T1 for 18 months though).

Regarding carbs, am I right in thinking you subtract any fibre content?

Hi guys & gals, It's been a while but I'm still around. I had my latest set of results and, as usual, they're confusing! Doctor rang and told me that the HBA1c has come back with two results: "4.2%" and "6". Assuming that the 4.2 is my actual HBA1c result, what would the 6 be? Average BG? Also...

Re: Idiot Brains comming through Tony, What's your basal? Sounds like it might not be enough.

I can't claim to have had it as hard as you - I've only had Type 1 for just over a year, but I can totally appreciate the feeling of being 'cut down in your prime'. I was diagnosed a week after my 23rd birthday. But no, I am absolutely enjoying life. You've just got to accept it, make peace with...

If I doctor ever told ME not to test I think I'd....bite them! (How many carbs in a mouthful of human flesh? 8) )

I do the same as Mark. When testing at work, I whack them back into the wrapper, ensuring the 'blood' end goes into the bottom. But then, I just throw them in the bin. I'm fairly confident they're not going to be fished out or dropped anywhere so I don't see the problem.

I actually did some tests through the night, last night. 4u Levemir @ 10pm 5.0mmol @ 12pm 7.0mmol @ 2am 6.2mmol @ 4am 8.0mmol @ 7am To me, that makes no sense. I can't even figure out what's happening.

Sounds like we're having the same kind of woes lilibet :p I think it's just a case of thinking differently to how we did with premix. It's like, a totally different game. This ratio stuff is baffling me though. Woke up @ 8.0mmol, injected 6u to cope with a 5g carb breakfast and an hour later...

Cheers iHs. It really helps just to hear what other people do and what options are available to me. Now I have a plan and I feel a lot more confident because of it.
