[QUOTE="Ellenor2000, post: 2081762, member: 508208"] I saw your .sig file and you speak of mild retinopathy "mostly because I've had this thing for a while," and also that you eat cake. I apologise in advance if this question is offensive. Is it really because you've had DM1 for a while, or is it because you've had higher-than-normal blood sugars for that same while? Last I heard (though I could be wrong), when you adjust for average blood sugars and blood-sugar variability, injecting insulin is not, by itself, a risk factor for diabetic complications. Someone with an average glucose of 5.0 who is 90% of the time within ± 0.7 of that who does not have to inject insulin is going to have the same level of complications (nearly none) as someone who is 5.0 90% within ±0.7 who does have to inject insulin. Do you find on days when you have tighter control, you're mentally more stable? [/QUOTE]
