[QUOTE="Alison54321, post: 2113128, member: 472744"] I've never not injected. I went for quite a long time without being diagnosed, and it made me very ill, so I see insulin as preventing being ill like that again. I think, maybe, for people who get diagnosed more quickly, taking insulin every day might, sometimes, feel more of a burden. That's just a guess but that does seem to happen a bit. I have, at times, run a little high, as a way of not worrying too much about what happens. If you really feel the need to forget about it, then let your blood sugar run a little bit higher, rather than not injecting at all, which would have far more serious consequences. The view is that 70% in a target range of 3.9 to 10 is good. So running in the 7s, 8s, 9s, even 10s, for a few days wouldn't do much harm. You don't want to do that for too long, but a little while wouldn't hurt, if you really feel fed up. [/QUOTE]
