[QUOTE="azure, post: 1109174, member: 39639"] [USER=284410]@seanreid[/USER] You may like to get the book Think Like A Pancreas. It's very popular here and will help you control your diabetes. You've not mentioned carb counting so I'm guessing you don't do it. Carb counting is [B]crucial[/B] for control. If you don't carb count it's like 'driving blind'. You could ask to speak to a dietician about learning it, or ask to go on the DAFNE course to learn it. It's not hard at all once you understand the principle :) It always used to be taught at diagnosis, as far as I know, but now isn't in many areas. I cant for the life of me understand why not as there's no way to get the right dose of fast acting insulin for each meal if you don't count carbs and adjust your insulin dose accordingly. [/QUOTE]
