[QUOTE="jj.sam, post: 123835, member: 22904"] Hi Clardige, Grapes can be very sneaky dending on how ripe they are. I have taken a new approach to work and dont let anything at work get in the way of my routine. I know this is easier said than done but for me it comes down to - whats more important? Work or my long term health. I always have a packed lunch in my bag so there is no excuse for missing lunch even if it is a little late some days. I find that injecting immediately before eating helps to balance your bs as this simulates what your body would naturally do for you. I'm over my honeymoon period which was a little weird to say the least. I could have a 'top heavy' breakfast and not take any insulin and then about an hour later check my bs. It would be normal. I Went from 2 - 4 units of novarapid to nothing in only a few weeks. Now it has returned to normal and i am injecting regularly with similar dosages each time. I have stayed well clear of alchocol since being diagnosed. I had a few sherberts on New Year and that was it. My drink at the moment is lager shandy with diet lemonade. This still allows me to be social all be it at the expense of being a 'shandy drinking southern poof'. My friends understand and are fully supportive. Dont feel too down about your bs, just try and work on a more stable routine and hopefully your bs will fall into place. Generally under 10 is not too bad before bed but should aim to be about 6 when you wake up in the morning. Cheers, JJ 8) [/QUOTE]
