[QUOTE="badlycontrolled, post: 2140381, member: 34575"] Aaww....bless you. I am 48, diagnosed T1 since age 5. DKA is not nice, I get it frequently through stress but it's only symptomatic, that's bad enough. I have been in hospital with DKA, self inflicted as I decided I didnt want to be diabetic any more, no injections or blood tests, eat what I want.....didnt work out but I was very young and very stupid and didnt try it ever again! Ok, your HB1 is a little high, it is going to be for now, no newly diagnosed diabetic has a 'normal' hb1, mine was 11.6 a few years ago and now sits around 6 to 7. You WILL find what works for you but you must not let the diabetes control you, you control IT. There are athletes, football players with diabetes, they travel the world, so your 6 week trip to Europe IS going to happen. Like all new things, hobbies, driving on your own for the 1st time, school etc, you dont get 100% perfection immediately, you have to work at it, you will get there and once your levels start to drop you will start feeling better and push yourself to get them lower. I get blurred vision if my sugar levels rise, no bluriness when levels are back to normal so your vision will improve as your control improves. Sorry about waffling, I'm no good at putting things into words so, good luck, stay positive, I wish you all the best and sending you big hugs! P.s let us know how your trip goes!! [/QUOTE]
