Hi,
I'm writing on behalf of my husband, who hates comps lol.
He is T1 and has been sine he was a child he is now 29. He has a very active job, he is a farmer and it can vary from chasing cows to sitting in a tractor all day. He is by the clinic told to keep his BS between 6 and 9 for his job. But he find anything below 8 to be an issue. He finds to keep his levels stable thro the day he needs to be at least 8 or spends his day having to stop and have chocolate to prevent a hypo. Yet the clinic dont seem to be able to regiter that his job is very demanding and keep saying to him that he souldnt need to be at the stage of preventing a hypo daily. In which case he nees to alter his insulin accordingly. Yet they dont reccomend his sugar above 9.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do, other that what he is doing already. He is at the stage where the clinic annoy him as they cant understand he doesn sit in an office thor the day and his exercise level can vary considerably.
