I think that whatever regime a T1 follows, if it keeps them healthy, provides BG that’s as steady as possible and as close to ‘normal’ as possible then that’s fantastic!
Docs and DSNs are worried about hypo risk and IMO they’ve not all made a transition, yet, to recognising the benefits of using a libre with a programme that gives alarms. Many cannot afford this and most won’t have it funded by the poor, struggling NHS. Docs and DSNs treat lots of people, not just us, they’ve a great deal to get their heads around. I’m not going to condemn them because they believe it’s safer for some to run higher than I’d like to, but if I can manage good BG without lots of hypos then I’ll keep on running MY T1 the way that works for me. And if a doc or DSN is on my side then I’m very happy.
We’re all different.
I’ve seen in this thread that the discussion of carbs has become heated, which is a shame, as I’d rather be reading a thread that respects differences and applauds success.
I’m also a little disturbed by the hints that a T2 approach is relevant to a T1 who’s got a different load of management elements to consider, despite the crossover in certain similarities. And vice versa.
So I’m just happy to say, to all T1s and T2s who’ve taken this D thing on and got a good life, that’s brilliant. Fantastic. Yippeedoo!
