[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2140634, member: 451727"] Hi there, sorry, I've only just seen your reply, if you choose the 'reply' option directly beneath someone's post then it replies directly to them and they get an alert. Initially it was difficult to manage insulin dosage with carbs and I was constantly low. I've always exercised a lot and this too had to be accounted for. In fact I had a month off work and hardly went out because I was so worried about having a hypo and falling over! Two years (and lots of testing and experiments) later I have got to know (mostly) how my body is likely to react to certain food and roughly how much insulin to take and all the rest. I still have hypos too frequently but I do recognise when one is coming although some really low ones slip through. It really is trial and error, believe me though when you get more used to things you will become so much more confident. At the start you barely know how it all works but you soon become an expert, especially after you find a site such as this. USE your diabetes team too, phone them whenever you have to. You most certainly WILL be able to travel and go out for meals same as before...just with a fair bit of equipment and organisation. x [/QUOTE]
