[QUOTE="RoseShiel, post: 1976966, member: 498843"] I think the carb counting has been hard for me because to be honest I really don't understand it and I'm not the best at maths either, and adjusting my insulin to it was to much for me so they put me on set doses and taught me about correction doses when needed. I was having sugar readings at 1.6 but i didn't have any symptoms at all apart from my first one which I had sweat pouring off me, trembling, migraine and I felt really sick and dizzy, this was also a reading of 1.6. I take everything I need with me anywhere I go so I no if I need it it's there. It's just so much to take in, but scary knowing I've got to control all of this by myself. I think I'm more scared about returning to work cause of the work I do ( working with young adults with challenging behaviour, autism etc) alot of lone working so if I have a hypo whilst in this situation I'm putting myself and a vulnerable adult at risk specially if I don't realise I'm having it. I may be looking far to into it but I just can't help but think about the negatives at the min but I think that's because I'm trying to adjust to my new life style [/QUOTE]
