[QUOTE="Nidge247, post: 1395655, member: 158871"] [USER=379335]@Diabetes8[/USER] When my BGs were uncontrolled just prior to diagnosis and at diagnosis DIBS was a very real fear for me (I was very very ill at the time, far worse than even I realised). However as I brought my sugars down, the fear eased, and since getting my BGs under tight control, it remains a distant memory, though if you get poorly it sometimes comes back to the front of your thoughts. The chances of it happening due to D are very slim while I maintain good control - far more likely something else would 'get me' on the path of life! So, I would put it to the back of your mind and try not to worry about it; put your efforts into getting good control and maintaining that. Life is for living, not for worrying. NB stress can also raise your BGs as it did severely with me, though I have read on the forums that it lowers BGs for some - though not recommended for that purpose! Good luck - keep smiling, it's free, healthy and infectious [emoji3] [/QUOTE]
