[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2498213, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=533935]@LamaLiam[/USER] and welcome to the forums. It's never too late to improve your diabetic control but are your expectations realistic? What do you regard as a decent range? (If I judged myself by the standards of some of the folk on here, who are unhappy if their bgs ever go over 7.8mmol/L, I would curl up in a ball and cry.) For those of us with cgms (continuous glucose monitors) it's time in range that is key, and 70% is a typical aim. What kind of insulin(s) and regime are you on and what are your diabetic team doing to help you? Have you been on any diabetic courses (eg DAFNE if in the UK) and do you know how to carb count? Sorry for the wall of questions, but it's hard to make recommendations without a bit more information. [/QUOTE]
