[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1877714, member: 451727"] Hi Emj, whether other people are worse off than you or not, please don't think that you are not entitled to feel how you do about YOUR diabetes, I reckon that is a good sign as you can then try and do something about it (which you are obviously doing by posting on this site). I would say maybe just start from scratch again, almost as if you were newly diagnosed, ie seeing what your readings are before each meal and 2 hours afterwards etc, I have no experience of using a Libre but I guess you know your levels constantly? Are your current readings up and down?, what insulin do you actually take and when etc. I think if you can get back into a routine again it might just help you manage to match your insulin to your carbs? I do lowish carbs as a type 1 and with lots and lots of testing I do find that I require a lot less insulin as a consequence, obviously you need to test, test, test and you do NOT need to be afraid of eating. You say you have good hypo awareness, do you have hypo's often? It's not a case of pulling yourself together either, we ALL need help sometimes and I know others will be along too. Please don't be too hard on yourself, relax a little, breath out and take it one day at a time. x [/QUOTE]
