HAPPY DAYS!

HI!!!!!

went to see the dietican about carb counting yesterday, more for the info so i can get a better idea of doses really.

She looked at my readings and guess what she said?

"erm why are you here you dont need this!!"

apparently my readings are excellent. I was so happy i could have cried, i've been on the old insulin for 4 weeks and i have fantastic control apparently.

some readings for you:-

AM- 7.4-- 14units
2hours- 4.6
Lunch- 5.4--- 10 units
after- 6.2
Tea- 5.4--- 20 units (had a big tea :-s )
2hour- 6.7
Before bed- 10.7 -- 18 lantus

i did have a pretty big tea that night so that explains for 10 but i have had one two double figures in a week.

I am so so happy now. i'm doing something right

Oh no the Dietican was "eat lots of carbs with every meal!" but interestingly the Diabetologist is a "cut them out" kinda fella.

she said eat what you want but just kae sure you have insulin.

I figure i'm going to go in the middle there, cut them down but not out. She kept talking about pasta and stuff and i was so craving it had a big bowl for my tea and it was lovely!! :twisted:

she didn't mention a lot about quanties i should be eating, but she was definatly a eat all you can kinda gal. lol

Sorry i had to revive this old thread to tell you my news.

i had a HSBC (?? thingy??) test today and it was 6.8!!!!!!!!!

Happy days happy days happy days!
