[QUOTE="becca59, post: 1828388, member: 264425"] Well, I eat less carbs and eat more healthily MOST OF THE TIME! I have a gubbins stuck in my arm, prick my fingers regularly and reckon up what I am going to eat so I know how much insulin to stab into my body. I never climb into the pool, or drive without checking I am safe. I constantly have a rucksack with me containing what I refer to as my kit. Other than that it hasn’t changed a jot!!!! Joking apart the minute this blessed condition prevents me doing anything I want to do then there will be problems. Life is for living. Although retired now, I was working in a school when diagnosed 4 years ago. We were due to go on a residential to Spain. Did I go? You bet your life I did. In fact I went the following year too. I didn’t worry about food or levels too much. I ran slightly higher than normal so that I was safe supervising somebody else’s precious 11 year olds. The other staff didn’t notice any difference from the previous year when I wasn’t diabetic. To be honest I believe that all the technology and medication we have available these days makes things so much easier than it did just 10 years ago. But it also makes us micromanage and worry more.
