[QUOTE="Kyambala, post: 2078306, member: 210735"] Hello again Ellenor, Sorry, I was just giving you my experiences. Before injecting Insulin about 7 years ago my blood sugars were "all over the place" and I was getting frequent Hypos - I could not find a way to "control" my blood sugars. Going on Insulin injections was a great help and then starting the LCHF diet broght tighter control - also learning that I could vary the amount of Insulin I used to fit in with my health and also expected energy needed for that day enabled me to stay in the range of 4.6 to 5.9 on most morning "fasting blood sugars". However, daily doses of Radio Therapy for Prostate Cancer sent my BS haywire again but increasing my Insulin brought me back under control. I have learned by all this that the lack of blood sugar control DOES affect my mental stability. My advice therefore is to try and work out a "stable" routine to keep your fasting BS between 4 and 7 at first and then try and tighten them up to between 4.5 and 6 - if at all possible. Do not worry unduly about the odd spike and try to avoid the "near Hypo" range of below 4. All the best. [/QUOTE]
