[QUOTE="Natalie1974, post: 863013, member: 134746"] You poor thing...sounds like you've had a bit of a rough time of it. Bad habits are notoriously hard to break...but the key to turning anything around is baby steps. Smokers wanting to give up will often reduce their cigarettes slowly until they feel ready to quit...it's much the same thing. Perhaps start with testing your blood sugars once a day...at whatever time of day suits you best...slowly build it up over a few days/weeks so that you have a better picture of where your blood sugars are at and you can inject accordingly. As you say...you know how to do it...it's just getting yourself back into the habit. Perhaps have a go at a low carb diet if you are concerned about weight gain, you can tweak your diet at a later date...but first you need to know where your BG is at so you can get it back under control. There is plenty of help, support and advice on this site and if you need any support...just ask...generally speaking everyone is more than willing to help and support a fellow diabetic. There is a great thread called 'Scream'...if things get to much...if you want to let off steam...just go have a good rant...it really does make you feel better. Best foot forward...you can do this...you've come through a lot worse by the sounds of it.:) [/QUOTE]
