[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1710502, member: 451727"] Sue, I genuinely do not get why you were so upset. Your body simply does not process food (carbs) in the same way as a person without diabetes, no matter what you do. To get it down to such a level is simply a fantastic achievement. I sometimes think that you read so much about type 1's (or others) getting their hb1's down to 4.2 or whatever that the rest of us who cannot do this (or don't particularly feel the need) are left feeling inadequate. I fully understand the concept of achieving 'normal person' results but if it is at the expense of your mental health then what is the point. I am certainly NOT advocating the 'oh, well, what can I do about it' approach and I too, like my numbers to be below 6 but I refuse to place so much pressure on myself when at the end of the day, it IS a malfunction of the body. WELL DONE!!!!! [/QUOTE]
