[QUOTE="ivinghoe, post: 364852, member: 47243"] Hi Faith I`m still having to tweak basals and bolus ratios slightly as the weather and temperatures effect what I do at work but I now have a good idea when things are starting to stray what I need to do to get the sugars levels back on course. I have had a tough time in the past Summer months with a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows.. I work outdoors doing "Estate work" which is very much like a gardener/groundsman/tree surgeon all rolled up into one job and I have about 70 acres to keep under some sort control... its almost as hard as looking after my diabetes! I read the book for the first time last July and have just finished a second read through. Last June my hba1c was 10.6mmol so not that was not that hard to improve on tbh :oops: but in January I was 7.1mmol (55% in new money) so I was chuffed to improve my control by so much. So was my consultant. I did do a dafne course last year too which I enjoyed but the vast majority of what I am using day to day has come from the book. I didnt realise how precise I needed to be with my insulin and how everything I did effected my control .. not just in the few hours after but the following night and even the following day. [/QUOTE]
