[QUOTE="EllsKBells, post: 1465141, member: 338121"] Hey [USER=383513]@Just_Me_Rachel[/USER] Can't really add anything to [USER=142835]@himtoo[/USER] s excellent advice - don't put in another sensor. They aren't essential, if you don't feel like you are gaining anything positive from them it isn't worth it. Be kind to yourself. Dealing with this is hard enough already, you don't need to make it harder by being tough on yourself. This is really, really rich coming from me, but try not to see the targets as absolute. If you test and get a good number, that's great, you can smile and say 'good'. But if you don't get such a good number, then don't beat yourself up over it - shrug, maybe think about what might have caused it, and move on. Keep going - you are doing really well just getting through each day. You don't have to go low carb - I believe most T1s here aren't, and it doesn't really achieve much in terms of reducing injections etc for a T1,since you end up having to bolus for protein anyway. Breathe. You've got this. Remember that if a healthy person wore a Libre, it wouldn't be a perfectly straight line all the time. Sending you hugs x [/QUOTE]
