[QUOTE="Fearless36, post: 2276420, member: 421597"] Thanks, thats what I actually have done already, provided them a list of what I call a food diary (foods I ate, blood sugar readings, Carb count and insulin dosage) but they couldn't be less interested. I'm not against carb counting, I also have carbs and cals and a scales so I can weight things, but I found that when I was making my own meals, it was difficult to get the carb ratios. So for example, if I did short grain brown rice, with some vegetables and cheese - my bowl isn't the same as in carbs and cals, and when I weighed it I got muddled trying to work out how to work out the carb count. Then depending on what vegetables I used and how many (carrots, onions, sweet corn, peas) it just got so confusing. I am willing to do anything that works. At the moment they are trying to encourage me to retake DAFNE. The first time \I did it, my levels didn't balance at all during the 5 days, and I hypo'd twice. Just seems like there is no hope at all for ever getting back good control for me. [/QUOTE]
