[QUOTE="Lucie75, post: 120779, member: 23580"] I'm feeling a bit better about my control lately. I've had much fewer hypos, nor the rebound highs which generally follow my hypos. I haven't been dreading testing for fear of being too high (or far too low without realising I'm hypo). I have some very subtle hypo warnings back (albeit still easy to miss but better than nothing) - generally confusion and so so tired, still hoping to get the 'sweats' back at some point but probably quite unlikely. AND I think I have my basal insulin correct now, after weeks of trying to get it right. Yesterday I had a roast dinner without any carbs and was reluctant to inject any insulin for it, so I missed the injection. After 2 hours my bg was still near enough what it was before I'd eaten, so I just took 2 units with a couple of biscuits in the afternoon. I have to say that despite being diabetic for 25 years and for the majority (up until 5 years ago), being in good control, I have a much better understanding of insulin and how the body reacts to both it and carbs since finding this website. Before I came on here I'd never even heard of insulin/carb ratio. I've been going to my clinic every 6 months or so since diagnosis and I'd still not been advised that it was actually a better way of keeping good control. I so hope things are on the up from here on..... :D [/QUOTE]
