I also want to thank you, Ian, for your help and support at the beginning of my D-journey. It was you who put me on the right track. Though it took me some time to get past my fear of insulin, in the end I was able to, and now things are going very well. With the Libre I've been able to smooth away the post-meal spikes that were still damaging me, and now at average 5.6-ish my body is reacting very well. My insulin needs have actually dropped a little in the last ten days - perhaps because I'm finally low enough? And I don't swing down unreliably, so I'm no longer worried going to sleep at night. Part of this is being in ketosis, which makes all blood sugar movements much more gradual, but partly it's obviously because I'd managed to arrest the damage and my metabolism is still able to work somewhat okay. That is fantastic, and I am very grateful for it.
So for now at least, I have a set of habits to handle my diabetes, and I can get on with life without fear and anxiety.
