[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 356225, member: 45322"] You obviously know you need to sort it out and asking on here is the first step, so well done. You probably also know that you are heading for blindness, stroke, heart disease, limb amputation, kidney problems if you don't sort it out. Use that as motivation, I do. Take steps today to sort it out, it will take a few weeks, but you can say today was the day when you started to control your diabetes. First things first, get into a routine by eating the same quantity of carbs for breakfast, lunch and dinner from day to day. Eat at the same times too. You might even want to eat exactly the same food until you figure things out. Write down your sugar levels for before meals and 2 hours after. That way, you should be able to spot any patterns and adjust your insulin accordingly. I can't help with a pump sorry as I'm on injections, but I'm sure someone will be along soon who does use one. Post your before and after meal readings on here and people can help. Good luck, you can do it! [/QUOTE]
