[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2040098, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=505592]@Becks33[/USER] Have a crack at [URL]https://www.bertieonline.org.uk/[/URL]. It's a good intro to carb counting and free, a good starting point for you. It sounds like you have the right attitude, your a positive gal and you know something needs to change, I think your nighttime hypo probably dented your confidence more than you think so your playing it safe running high, but the flip side of playing it safe has caught up with you, as others have said, it's never too late and you've already made a lot of friends here who can support you going forward. Personally I learned not to rely on anyone but me, I've had some fabulous nurses but they are never there when you need them as they are so busy, so for me getting clued up with knowledge and knowing what I needed to do to make sure I was keeping in target each day was the focus, get a copy of 'think like a pancreas' written by a type 1 too. Sadly fags cause narrowing of the arteries so apart from being a stimulant and affecting glucose control they cause damage, so see if you can get some patches off your GP ? Also try some medititation it's a brilliant way to relax or walks in the country and connect with nature. Feel free to message me too always happy to help :) [/QUOTE]
