[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2210766, member: 365308"] Hi there. Sounds like a traumatic diagnosis and now you are stuck with the day to day dramas of being diabetic. All I can say is that it does get better because it becomes so familiar however the hypos and hypers should not be part of your daily life. How is your diabetes team on these practical matters? Many many diabetics fail to hit their target numbers, just like you, because there's more to it than counting carbs and guestimating the insulin bolus so please don't feel disheartened but rather get a bit more pushy with your team and ask to go on a diabetes education course e.g. Dafne where you will finesse the carb counting amongst other things but also have some peer support. There are some useful books on the topic of type 1 but I always mention this one because it is free and written by a non doctor type 1 plus very optomistic and practical.
