[QUOTE="fergus, post: 45814, member: 6150"] I feel for you, Zoesmum. I was diagnosed with type 1 as a teenager and couldn't really have cared less, as long as I was able to do the things other people my age were doing. She is bound to be in denial to some extent and you are doing all the worrying for her instead. A mother's lot! She might be able to help herself more if she has the tools to do it. One thing she would benefit from I think is to work out a strategy to inject correction doses when her bs is high. 1 unit of Novorapid will lower her bs by a certain amount, depending on where it is at the time, and she might benefit from knowing this so she can get her bs down to a less harmful level -single figures at least. Large amounts of insulin will certainly make her hungry, you're right about that, and probably for all the wrong foods - carbohydrates. Would she be prepared to eat foods lower in carbs, such as eggs, meat, fish for example? That would help reduce her appetite and be less inclined to raise her blood sugar too. Best wishes, fergus [/QUOTE]
