[QUOTE="Ledzeptt, post: 2561120, member: 160898"] I was in a similar situation, although 8 years ago. I think the first year was the worst: not just hospital, but the huge learning curve and change in life. So, first well done for all you’ve gone through and achieved so far. I was on slow release insulin for the first year; I think it’s easier to learn and then later prescribed multiple daily injections I.e. slow insulin plus fast insulin taken with every meal, to give better control but it’s more complicated to learn. There’s not a specific good HBa1C number and there’s no point in you knowing my latest number. It’s very difficult to get a number equivalent to someone without diabetes if that’s what you mean. You need to learn the mindset that all these numbers (including blood glucose = 8.6) aren’t good or bad, but just information. You can then decide, perhaps with help, what to do with the information. Do you take/adjust insulin? Eat or adjust your diet? Exercise, etc. It does get better and you will be able to get on with your life; perhaps re-visit Italy and have a more enjoyable time! [/QUOTE]
