[QUOTE="Nafu9, post: 886948, member: 192022"] Hi all, thank you for all the advice :) I'm booked in for a T1DE course in September, not sure if this is the same as a DAFNE course just under a different name? I have the carbs and cals app, but I must admit I don't use it as much as I should simply because I don't have the time to fill in my meals. I've had a brief look at the pump and it kinda scares me, I'm relatively clumsy and am scared I would end up ripping it out, either day to day or when I'm with my girlfriend. I think it's slipped due to a combo of not having time and not wanting to have to stop doing whatever I'm working on to do it. It may just be a perception but I feel they think I use my diabetes as an excuse, I could well be wrong but I'm sure you know what it's like when an idea settles in your head. I think you are right that I'm reacting as opposed to preventing. I have no idea about carb counting and because I need to get back to work tend to just wolf my food down instead of figuring out if it's good for me. I get toilet and fag breaks but again tend to just do my business quickly and get back to work. I'll start seeing if I can time them better. Which raises another question, how do cigarettes (hand rolled) affect, if at all, sugars/diabetes in general? Thank you again for all your input :) Nathan. [/QUOTE]
