[QUOTE="wigglyamp, post: 410302, member: 57793"] I dont think there is such a thing as the "perfect diabetes sufferer". We all have our week moments and downfall's. My DNS says to me that you cannot live your life completely cutting out your chocolate or cream buns or by going to that party and only drinking soda water! "But, that's not a thumbs up for you to go and get hammered every Saturday night and follow it with a kebab" she says wagging her finger! I've found that with that pearl of wisdom, I know the odd bun and choc bar is not forbidden so I don't want them as much. We maybe buy a bun at the weekend and I might have a small bar of dark chocolate on a Wednesday evening and the odd beer of a weekend. Question - when you're feeling ****, do you test your BS to see what it's doing? I found that testing when I felt really bad and those times a felt really good helped me identify which foods I was more the worse from having etc. I was started on Gliclazide and the standard metformin dose (as everyone I suppose) and once my BS were under control they dropped the Glic' and changed me to the slow release metformin. I suffered really bad, couldn't control my BS no matter what I did, real bad wind (enough to power a small village) and so I went back to the standard. Things were fine for a couple of years but I had a huge struggle over December and January (just gone and not due to beer and kebabs I hasten to add) and since then I've been on the maximum dose of Metformin. I run on average 25 miles a week over 3 runs, doing and really try to control my carb intake. I would really hate to see where I would be without the running :cry: I have days where I feel really tired but like you say, you just push through it. [/QUOTE]
