[QUOTE="doogyrev, post: 88232, member: 21194"] Hi, I am new to the forum so hope I am writing in the right area. I have been insulin dependant for about 12 years, female and age 36, but I have never had so much problems as now controlling my bloods. I am regularly seen at the hospital, given different things to try and to be honest nothing seems to make a difference - for instance, I now split my lantus as dr's said not lasting 24 hours. I can wake up with blood sugars of 7, two pieces of toast I would inject 6 for as I am using a 1.5 units to 10g of carb so this is still over my bm's will then be 19, they will go down to about 14 before lunch - maybe. I inject 12 units of lantus am and 6 pm. I can go to bed with blood sugars of 19 and wake up with 8 - the doctors said splitting my lantus would stop this drop, bearing in mind I have gone from 14 units at pm to 6! Tea time - now they are 21 probably my fauly as I stupidly ate 7 raspberries whilst out raspberry picking - I cannot eat anything without my sugars going sky high. Fruit is really a bit of a no for me even though I love it. I am just having a nightmare two months ago had a scare had two bad hypos within 3/4 hour and ended up in hospital and subsequently started panicing after injecting insulin for fear of going low and not being able to get sugars up. I just feel whatever I do does not work, I dont feel that great on a daily basis - tired etc, bit spaced out - I have two children 9 and 5 and my life is being controlled by diabetes.
