[QUOTE="TashT1, post: 2356760, member: 526953"] I wouldn’t say this particular forum is bad for that type of poster, there tends to be a good mix. Some diabetics might exaggerate because it’s a way of getting positive attention, others might be working on only their diabetes & nothing else so do have perfect control, or are like myself & still getting a boost from their existing insulin production. For newbies like me it’s very helpful to ‘see the future’ with posts like this so I know what my levels could be like once my insulin production runs dry. It’s important to see both the diabetic for 40yrs & this is how I control it alongside those that still struggle. Reading about other people’s struggles helps to not panic when things go wrong & the successes help to guide you to better control. My diabetic future is very much in my thoughts since my consultation yesterday. Which 100% confirmed I’m T1 but with middling insulin production. My control is good now but I’m warned it won’t stay that way for long, I should expect things to be unpredictable & not to be too hard on myself with 8-10 readings. At the end of the day everyone is in their own battle with diabetes & as much as we try to understand & support one another our experiences will never be exactly the same. What’s important is how you feel and keep striving to stay healthy. [/QUOTE]
