[QUOTE="evj95, post: 1570688, member: 434447"] [USER=434825]@Smsquire90[/USER] I know the feeling of friends dictating what to eat or not! I still get that too, but now I either just tell them to fob off, or if its a friend that has just known and don't know much about T1D, I will explain to them very briefly and quite harshly to be honest that I can eat what I want as long as I'm careful. I also hate it when I have the stupid feelings that I have when I'm too high - Headache that just makes me want to crawl into a hole and die, feeling so god **** tired I could sleep all day. These are not good combination when I'm trying to do stuff at work before I finish because jesus christ if I sit down for five minutes I'll be asleep!. Then an hour later I could be having a hypo and can't think properly, can't get my words out right and shaking like hell. There is no perfect number for this, no bullseye to hit. A friend has described it to me as a tightrope that I am walking and everyday its trying to balance right to not fall off, knowing how fast or slow I can walk that tightrope before I lose balance altogether.
