I’ve been T1 for 10 years now and my control is currently horrendous - its not that I don’t want to control it but I just can’t seem to get past the brick wall of testing - any tips on how to get back on track would be much appreciated!

Getting a Libre is what did it for me, I always hated testing and as a result completely ignored doing it and got wonky sugar levels. Now, unless I'm occupied with something I check all the time, usually at least once an hour.

Exactly the same for me. After 20 years of ignoring testing and hoping it all just went away, I’ve got the best control I’ve ever had with Libre.
