[QUOTE="janrick, post: 324567, member: 45912"] Hi I have been type 1 for 40 years now from 35years old, please do not worry so much things will settle down in time. If as time goes on you can keep your blood sugar level under ten you're doing well you try to aim for normal levels which is between 4 and 7 but cannot always achieve this as getting upset or angry can at times raise the level, I live a good life an d have no complications after all this time , my health professionals have allways been happy with me. You get your ups and downs but deal with them as they come, I have always tested first thing in the morning before each meal and just before bed, if blood sugar is under 7 try having a little supper before you retire for the night. plenty of exercise is good but please don't worry over it as I have been on insulin from the very start you do your best thats all, the boundaries you have been asked to stay in seems to be quite harsh so don't fret, I think you will be type 1 as you are usually type 2 if you're over 40 and I guess you arn't that old, it runs in my family as my son has it and my two grandchildren do , a cousin and her child also an uncle,do not starve yourself and do not let it run your life you have to plan your day but be comfortabe with it. I'm in great healh with no problems at all I live in New Zealand so things may be done differently there but you will be fine I'ts not the end of the world I travel to the UK every 2 years staying at places just planning and care you'll be good.All diabetics are friends feel free to ask questions anytime.
