[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 2008589, member: 408573"] When I first joined DCUK I fell into comparing my fbg, bg and carb amounts to other members and would sometimes become quite frustrated until I realised that some members had already learned what they could and could not tolerate, that some were much further along in their progression in terms of improvement and that some had gotten over the initial shock/horror of diagnosis and had found the 'sweet spot' for them as individuals. I learned that comparing myself to others was a complete waste of time and energy which is why I no longer partake in what I call 'List threads' e.g What was your fbg...' or 'How many carbs...'. While I appreciate that these lists promote support and advice etc for me they sometimes left a feeling almost of resentment at times. As far as I am aware I do not have a clone therefore my stats are personal and relevant only to me. So, to get to the point, just because there may be a female member here who is exactly my height, weight and shoe size does not mean that our stats are going to be similar, they may be but it would be coincidence.
