Hi everyone I am 64 years old and have had type 1 for 43yrs now and somehow have stumbled through it without any complications that I know of and until the last 5 years in all honestly I acted as though I did not have it the only things I did was limit my carbs and nothing sweet but then I lost my hypo awareness my consultant who I very rarely had any contact with told me to run high for a couple of months and it worked that was what made me start testing which I had not done for that long I did not remember how to do it, I live in the Medway area of Kent UK and I also attended there MINTE course which gave me a reasonable understanding of what was going on but I am still very much in the dark with it, so thought I would give this a try, I am taking 16 units of Levimir in the mornings and 12 in the evening and am running a ratio of 1 unit of Novorapid to every 10g of carbs that I eat but for some reason my readings are pretty high and sometimes hypos happen, can anyone offer me some useful advice as how to control it better, I think one of my problems may be that on the MINTE course they told me I could eat whatever I like as long as I counteract it with the Novorapid but I think my problem is not judging the values and weight correctly as it is impossible to weigh everything I use the Carb and Calorie counter book like a bible but it is still going wrong so any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated many thanks Chris
