[QUOTE="amberzak, post: 405204, member: 24261"] Just met my new diabetes nurse. She was nice. And got a lot of things sorted (test strips etc). An interesting thing though. I talked about how I've never had my sugars under great control, and how everyone goes on about high sugars all the time. She asked why I haven't reduced my background insulin in this hot weather, and I said I'm scared of being high because everyone goes on about how bad they are, and low sugars are easier to deal with. But I still end up going high, and I roller coster all the time. She told me it's better to risk a high to stop my hypos, as the hypos cause highs due to the liver kicking out extra sugar. So there was me trying to keep my sugars down, unsuccessfully, and I should have been trying to stop them going low. What advice do you have for a long time diabetic who has never had an Hb1ac below 8? I need it to be at least 7 before I can try for a baby. I'm affected by everything, from weather to stress. I'm 30, and I'm a writer and graphic designer so some days I am really active, but there are days when all I do is sit in front of the computer. I am also over weight. I'm type 1. Thanks all.
