Arrogant/unhelpful people. Spiders/bugs basically anything with 6-8 legs. Creeps me out.
Hate mud unless I'm camping oddly
Hi all,
Just wondering if I can chat to those of you that have read this book by Gary Scheiner?
I used to say my control was pretty decent, although having unexplained highs/lows and just sometimes having random things happen. I used to think that most diabetics must be the same and this is as good a control I could get. However, since I've finished reading this book I've changed my entire way of thinking.
I'm currently going back to basics, checking that my basal is correct and am surprised to find out that it was a little off, I've actually had to increase my basal to compensate for the amount of background glucose my liver is releasing and am now focusing on altering/trying different insulin to carbohydrate ratios.
Admitedly things are a little frustrating at the moment because I'm still having the unexplained highs and lows so I'm now trying to understand how the foods and the absorption of food works in relation to insulin.
I just wondered did anyone else find this book useful/helpful and what did it do for you? Did it help you eventually sort yourself out?
Thanks
