[QUOTE="iHs, post: 263300, member: 8799"] [b]Re: Do UK paramedics not leave copy of treatment information[/b] Diva An a1c of 4.9% is DANGEROUSLY VERY LOW for a type 1. Its no wonder that you are having so many hypos. I know that you dont want to make your complications worse but controlling your blood sugar levels the way you are doing it is not good either. Ive been type 1 for 46 years and the vast majority of my a1c levels have all been around 7%. Yes I have had carpal tunnel syndrome which was operated on and yes frozen shoulders which lasted a while and also a touch of background retinopathy but other than that my life with diabetes is quite good.

I've now got an insulin pump after my consultant gave me a friendly but firm telling off asking me why I was trying to compete with someone who didn't have diabetes. If you look at BDEC it will give you a good idea on how to go about using correction doses of insulin and also although many people will need an inbetween insulin to carb ratio (like 1.2u to 10g) this can still be worked out by altering the amount of carb that you eat. Just be well ok :) [/QUOTE]
