[QUOTE="azure, post: 1497214, member: 39639"] Hi [USER=316931]@Alex_B[/USER] I promise you that there's NOBODY with perfect control. We all have highs sometimes or things go,wrong. First thing - if you're 22 then the correction dose of insuoin could take 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours to start getting your BS down. That's normal when you're higher than approx early teens or so. So it's not your fault. I find the trick to Type 1 control is consistency. What I mean by that is watching my BS, etc and keeping it in between my target range by gentle 'knocks'. If things go mad, then I find it a lot harder to get back on track. It's like steering a car - lotss of gentle compensatory movements keep the car on track. Routine helps too. It makes things smoother and simpler. Eg I usually eat the same breakfast and lunch each day because I'm busy and I don't want to think too much. I know what insulin dose I need to take and that simplifies my life a lot. Regular meals help too as I find if I get too out of routine my BS becomes mor unpredictable. [/QUOTE]
