I was diagnosed almost exactly two years ago so I don't believe that I'm going through the honeymoon period since I already went though it a few months after I was diagnosed.@catapillar and @EllsKBells.

About a week ago I thought I'd try two days of going low carb and not blousing and it seemed to me to work quite well apart from a few morning lows. I wanted to know if it's possible to do that longer term because that would mean only 1 possibly 2 injections per day. Has anyone else tried...

It seems to of calmed down today thanks still in 7s and 8s which I consider high but better than before @Lynz84

So I know I haven't been on the forum for a very long time but it's because my diabetes management has been going very well recently. So 2 weeks back my diabetes behaved itself so well that 1 hour after meal my blood sugars were 5.0 and didn't go low my ratio was so good and I thought I'd...

Well done I have terrible control but have an excellent hba1c of 5.1 - 8.0 in all the time I've been diagnosed I achieved 5.1 but by having about 5 hypos a day and injecting every time I went high, but yeah congratulations on your hba1c. Edited by a mod

1 week after my 18th birthday so all my adult life!!

I'm having problems with high blood sugars before meals and then my post Neal blood sugars are usually fine but then about 4 hours after I eat my blood sugars goes up to about 11. So whenever I don't have rapid acting insulin in me and I'm relying on lantus my blood sugar rises!! It's very...

@mist you better be careful with your highs above 20! That's asking for trouble in the long term I would much rather a 2.5 than a 20!! Don't put yourself nore at risk of a slow and painful death I would put yourself a little closer to a quick death but just hope it dosen't happen and then you...

@catapillar I've spoken to them but everytime I do they just seem to put it off and say lows are dangerous they don't seem to care about highs. When I wasn't managing it well when I was newly diagnosed I was rarely below 12 for about 2 months and they didn't care much but the lows they were on...

Now even I realise I'm getting stupid but for some reason I still can't stop what I'm doing. I am aiming for non diabetic blood sugars and if I am even slightly out of that range on the high end then there is nothing I can do and I feel so useless that I haven't done better! Lows feel good to...

Ok so I don't know where to start really. Well everytime my blood sugar goes high even above 7.5 I start to feel very anxious and it is disturbing my everyday life because I am constantly checking to make sure I'm not above that and if I'm 8 for example I'll inject 4 units of insulin because...

I get it so much I really do, I feel upset everyday with diabetes because I think about my future im high all the time despite putting 100% in. I've made a difficult decision to give up on diabetes and live the next 15 years of my life happy :) I'm not saying you should do this because I want...

A lot of people get complications from diabetes after being 95%! Even after comrolling it well! The only way to have a good chance of guarding yourself from complications of type 1 is to be 100% and have no fun and also have a few lows here and there to keep yourself away from the highs. People...

I hate it when my blood sugars are always high and I just know that one day I will be told that I am ill with complications of diabetes!! For the last week they have been uncontrollable and I've spoken to my diabetic team and they just said do corrections and in 4 hours it will be down!! Well...

11.7 it never comes down I'm wishing for a hypo. Hypos are my only protection in the long term
