Message: <blockquote data-quote="EllieM" data-source="post: 1656781" data-attributes="member: 372717">I've been T1 for 47 years and am still in good health, able to go on walking holidays, overseas trips and generally do all the stuff that non diabetics do.  I also got through two T1 pregnancies and have two healthy adult children.As the others say, you sound depressed. Try to get some help, as it really doesn't need to be like this. (Though most of us have periods when life/diabetes gets us down.) I also agree that a bit more insulin/carbs might help.Also, how about some continuous glucose monitoring? Can you get your clinic to give you a trial?  This might reassure you as to night time hypos, because waking every two hours for a blood test is not good for your mental or physical health.Your hba1c sounds excellent by the way, way better than mine has been for most of my 47 years,  so I can understand why the clinic is more worried about low blood sugars. Good luck.</blockquote>
