@azure I am going to start a diary from today. The freestyle libre is keeping track of the BG levels so I feel like this will help with relating them to my eating and stress. Thank you x @Bebo321 my consultant tells me that I am the boss of my diabetes. And you are right.. I don't want it to be...

Thank you everyone for your support. It really does mean a lot. @Juicyj it's good to hear from someone in a similar position.
