[QUOTE="Foulksey, post: 1431208, member: 271355"] Hi all, This is my first post - I was diagnosed Type 1 in Feb 2016. I do feel a bit like I am coping with it worse now, a year later, as I should be used to it by now shouldn't I!? I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this though. Anyway, my question is - if I was just jabbing my finger before each meal and before bed, aiming for between 4 and 7 (ish) the numbers in my book are not too bad, a bit high sometimes. However, I also have the Freestyle Libre that shows my highs (sometimes very) in between the meals. So, my daily graph via my Libre machine is up and down like a rollercoaster - is that ok? My dietician says I should eat what I like and just control it with insulin - surely then if you eat something sweeter you will still go up when you have eaten? To not move on the graph would mean putting more insulin in and then you risk a hypo!? I'm supposed to be at the stage where I inject insulin to meet what I am eating but I find it all so scary (and as someone else said every jab of the finger is like taking another test!) that I am reluctant to stray from the same range of meals week in week out. Help please? [/QUOTE]
