Then once your head is around the whole 'diabetic thing' then try carb counting and talk to your dietican. i didnt have one in the children's clinic so i learnt myself and gave up very easily, im currently starting over i guess, writing all my sugars down testing four times aday and changing my insulin measurements were needed. this is me five years down the line. thats only because i was a terrible teen and just couldnt be bothered and had the 'why me' attitude. but i assure you it all gets better in time just dont tackle too much at one.  Nessa-lou  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
