[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1534728, member: 17713"] Also for your eyes its better not to drop all bloods to normal quickly from your initial diagnosis. Dont over test... doing a test before 2hrs after eating just causes angst and corrections shouldnt be done in that period anyway.... You should aim for any levels to be in target at 5hours after any bolus whetherbits a correction or for food. It may help to keep notes of what foods you have good levels with and ones that you dont.. ie if you do eat pizza or items such a peanuts then these may need handling different to a meat with 3 veg dinner.. Things will improve. I'm a believer in fewer carbs and less room for error but thats my thinking for my body and my lifestyle. We dont know whether you exercise, what you eat, or drink or your lifestyle. You could be a marathon runner and needing more of certain foods etc or you may be a snacker etc but you will find ways to manage for you. My best advice I received was to try and keep meals 5 hours apart without snacks. So you can fully look at patterns but again it will depend on your lifestyle. You would have to treat a hypo though if it occurred. Think like a pancreas is an excellent book. [/QUOTE]
