[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1797196, member: 196992"] Well done, Lou! Prior to diagnosis I used to have incidents like the one that led you to ask that manager to get you a chocolate bar. My 6 monthly diabetes checks always came back "fine" and I had no idea I could do home testing to figure it out until my HbA1c crossed over the 48 mark and I was diagnosed with T2. During those years I carried small snacks with me everywhere so I could revive myself when needed. Sounds like you have got things under control which is fantastic. My only suggestion would be to test regularly enough to ensure your BGs aren't creeping back up. More than once, I went into a kind of denial and gave up caring about my BGs. That led to big problems. You sound way more sensible than I was, so it's unlikely you will slip like I did. I'm still emotionally raw from the experience, so a bit obsessed with it for now. I'm thrilled you have improved your health so much. Knowledge is power! [/QUOTE]
