[QUOTE="therower, post: 1465148, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=383513]@Just_Me_Rachel[/USER] agree totally with advice from [USER=142835]@himtoo[/USER] . Unfortunately T1 is for life, everyday no getting away from that. Accept that and put things in perspective and on your terms. Why go to war everyday with your diabetes? So much easier to make it your friend, embrace it and use it to make you an extra strong, extra special winner. You don't have to go low carb, you need to eat sensibly, take the right amount of insulin and if you fancy the occasional treat then have it along with the required insulin. Just like having a pancreas but in a pen and not in your body. Forget constant blood readings, chill out and focus on good days and bad days. If you have a good day, smile, think what's made it good and take the information forward with you. We all have bad days, we can't change a bad bs reading we can only make a change to our next reading. Learn from bad days they offer so much and if you have a day when you learn something then that's gotta be good. 27 yrs and I've never micro managed my diabetes and I'm fitter and healthier then most my age and younger. Good control is about insulin carb balance, regular testing, diet,exercise BUT in my opinion the most important part of good control is me not having diabetes but diabetes having me. I call the shots and we live my life my way. 99% it works for both of us. As for the 1% well that's for tomorrow. Chill out a bit and you'll get a grip of it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
