Getting the ratios set and right will make all the difference as that is what helps to get results. It took me a while as I said other issues were having an impact. I really think that will definately make a big difference and hopefully when you get the pump it should even them out even more. (...

Hiya Marie, I started to learn to carb count about March/April this year and am only now starting rto feel like I have cracked it. I have had other medical issues during that time which have probably hindered me slightly and I have been helped by having a 1/2 dose pen and an expert meter which...

Hi there, Also bear in mind that even if you get it cleared up, men don't always have obvious symptoms so if there is a partner, a partner may need treating too. A relative of mine kept getting reoccuring thrush ( non diabetic .) and wondered why it kept coming back it turned out that her...

I am only just getting used to testing and injecting in front of other Mums at parties of other children and in public in general. Previously I would eat before I went out and let sugars run high for being embarressed and always refused food when offered. Now I am alot more upfront. I had 2...

It must be very frustrating as I know how it can be a struggle and havingf the added presure of wanting to get it right to try for a baby. I have tried soooo hard and just got my A1C down from 8 and above to 7.7, and I am still trying. I know that from the outside looking in it must seem like a...

Hi again, I really would ask re an expert meter ( ask your DSN you are planning a pregnancy so I should think they would help you ) as it has an excercise function built in which allows you reduce your bolus by so many percent and you can alter it to suit you. May days are so varied and I am now...

Do you always have bfast?.....I would try to have breakfast just so that it keeps you level. I had a similar situation a while back.... Was taking my little boy to a party so did bg before we left 6.7 :D so took hypo kit and an apple as I thought I would either stay static or go low. No hypo...
