[QUOTE="Nicksayer, post: 2667012, member: 220080"] Dear Pam, I have just read your message and response with much interest and I have a lot of empathy for you. I also have a similar problem and take both insulin and Creon to help the rather defunct Pancreas I have now due to auto immune problems. I agree it’s so difficult to smooth out the peaks and troughs and sometimes it can be very demoralising. But there is always hope. This year I went on what the specialists name a DAFNE course ( dose adjustment for normal eating ) it was excellent and gave me an insight as to how to use insulin more effectively, both the long acting and rapid acting. I was also fitted with a Libre 2 disc which enables monitoring the Sugar levels more effectively and timely. It is difficult to assess what to inject and and monitor what you eat when out and about and that can only come with time. I purchased a pair of scales for the kitchen when at home which, by entering a food code and then weighing the food they calculate and inform me exactly how many grams of Carbs I am eating. So by using the Scales going on the DAFNE course and having the Libre 2 disc fitted has helped me produce better results than before. My Ha1bc was 88 mmol but now I have been able to reduce that down to 55 mmol a better but not perfect result It will never be perfect but if we can improve our readings just a little, I would say every little thing we do helps. Hope this helps you a little. Fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
