    How long have you had T1

    I've had it two and a half years and I too don't believe in life-expectancy numbers at all. A type one may not even die from a diabetes related...

    Frustration

    Struggling with insulin

    Your post is very interesting. It doesn't make sense that insulin would increase your blood sugar. If I were you, I would keep a diary recording...

    Is a low HbA1c dangerous in any way?

    I also have low Hba1c, so low, that the endo couldn't give me a number and just said that it was below their measurable scale. Later it went up...

    Erratic BG

    Have you tried keeping an accurate journal, recording exactly what, how much and when you eat, as well as how much and when you took your insulin,...

    Can't take much more of this.

    Sorry about your troubles. Do you carb count? Do you follow a low-carb diet?

    Very low blood sugar but still OK

    I wonder if it's because when your blood sugar is low, your body and brain use the energy from fat and protein? I've only been diagnosed a year...
