[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 1095490, member: 32108"] I read your post straight after you posted it, and then waited ... I didn't want to jump in and say that, after 30 years, I certainly haven't cracked the problem of Type 1. That is the case however. I'm still here though and pretty well on the whole and very much enjoying life. I'm very glad I adopted a low-carb diet a couple of years ago, because, as mentioned above, the seemingly inevitable swings in blood sugar are much reduced by restricting sugar, flour, fruit, grains etc to a very small amount. I agree that I want to live a little, but for me that doesn't include things that make me ill. It does mean that I'm not careful enough about timing of insulin shots. I also grapple with (in no particular order) [LIST] [*]highs after exercise, [*]Lantus not lasting long enough, [*]forgetting whether I've injected, [*]assessing required basal levels, [*]properly calculating insulin to carb ratios at different meals, [*]in the past, being too busy and fraught, to care about my own health, putting diabetes last -really stupid! [*]etc, etc. [/LIST] Since joining the forum, I've had no end of help from knowledgeable people on here who are wonderful, so stick around and ask for that same help and get the chance to support others too, because we're all in this together.
