[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 422266, member: 53162"] Ok is there any reason why you dont take your insulin with you and I take it you mean short acting ? I am guessing this also means that you dont regularly test either ? Are you embarressed, do you forget ? Swinging high and low (according to my doctor) can cause depression, high sugars slow down brain function and it's like a sports car running on a battery. I was suffering with this earlier this year which is why I decided to start really getting a handle on it and testing more and reducing the carbs in my diet. If you test regularly and also record your results you can start to see patterns and it also helps if you need advice on the amount of insulin you take. It really is a case of testing regularly and taking short acting with every carb portion you eat, otherwise you are playing catch up all the time in managing it. Can you get on DAFNE ? Ask about this as it's a great course to give you more insight and also put you in contact with other type 1's who can support you. Good luck :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
