[QUOTE="1markuk1, post: 110006, member: 23670"] Thanks for the support guys! I guess everyone is an individual and whats right for someone is not for someone else. To answer the question on testing I think it all depends on your circumstances. I previously worked as a Catering Manager after being diagnosed a couple of years ago and needed to test a minimum of eight times a day to get any control. No two days were the same and I worked 70 plus hours a week including shifts. So activity levels played a big part. I am really strict with my diet and carb count religiously. We all know it is not an exact science. The anxiety symptoms are very similar to the onset of a hypo. So in my mind I think is this a hypo or am I just feeling increasingly anxious. So it is one big vicious circle for me. I used to suffer from panic attacks at times before i developed Type 1 so I am aware of the fact that they are just the response to anxiety. I now feel that I cant ignore when I get that feeling because is it my sugar crashing or my anxiety rearing its head. Over the past weeks I have become quite withdrawn from the world because of this and want to get better so much. Anyway it is really helpful to hear your comments and take heart in the fact I am not alone. Mark x [/QUOTE]
