The hassle and ignorance of diabetes.
Ye I understand that I'm so sick of my bloods being high. I'm testing my bloods every 2 hours and using correction doses as I want to get !y insulin right so I'm doing this and seeing my diabetic team to see what adjustments I need to do. I am hypoing 2 to 4 times a day ATM due to working in an intense position I am a manager at a retail store. I get stressed easy and my bloods go up or down ATM I no that the blood results can have fake readings due to this so I am going to let the experts help me with my adjustments but I'll get there

To stop us hijacking this thread, I'll PM you, just to say publically that your situation and endeavours are similar to what I went through and did around 8 years ago - so much so it sends shivers done my spine thinking about it! :nailbiting:

Hi Andy.

Don't be scared - read everything, esp Gary Scheiner Think like a pancreas and the Dr Bernstein Diabetes Solution http://www.diabetes-book.com/

Think about low carb, ie LCHF. It's the best way to get flat and low blood sugars. This source - http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/sp3index.php - is reliable and helpful.

So reAd, and plan your line of attack. Good luck.

Daisy - be proud of yourself, you had a lot of stress recently, yet you still got a 5.5, some people would give their eye teeth for that.
Well done you, CONGRATULATIONS :thumbup: :clap:
I have battled with my HbA1c level for far too long, I have had rare moments when my reading have been 7.5 my best ever being 7.0, but I'm afraid that's a long time ago and I continue to try to improve it. My HbA1c remains approximately 8.5 or 8.4 currently and yes I would concur that I'd give my eye teeth to get a reading of 7.0 let alone 5.5. Don't beat yourself up if you have got an extra .3 on a HbA1c result that remains within 5%. The time to get a little concerned is when it gets to the high 7% reading. You've got a long way to go before it'll get to that.

P.S. What is your secret? I'm literally dying to know?

Mine is now 4.24 %. This is the lowest it has ever been and this is due to the LCHF Lifestyle I have lived for the past 24 months.

Had mine done today. So hopefully I'll find out the results soon. Does anyone else have trouble actually having the blood taken? The nurse had 3 attempts on me today and eventually got it from just above my wrist and even then it was only a small amount so might not be enough to test with!

Just had mine back... 6.5 (or 48) which I'm delighted with, considering it's only been 7 months since diagnosis! It would have been even lower too if Christmas was taken out of the equation.
