[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1340105, member: 32394"] I'm not sure a post prandial reading of 9 really requires three exclamation points [USER=194068]@james122[/USER] , it's a perfectly acceptable post meal reading. Are you a straight A student James? I ask because you seem more concerned with your hba1c level than with the reality of living with type or with the reality of the risks facing you. Right now the biggest risk you are facing is your own behaviour in injecting intravenously and determining that you want to run low which carries risks of: 1) dying; 2) waking up with severe brain damage; 3) seriously injuring yourself while fitting hypo. Apparently you are willing to run these risks just in order to get a "good" hba1c result? You can't get an a star at being diabetic, there is no such thing. There are no perfect diabetics. And if there were, hba1c would be a rubbish way to find them. The best thing you can do for you and your diabetic management is learn how to manage it so it fits in with your life ok. You might want to look at basal testing or pre bolusing to combat the highs - it could just be the stress and unusual food of Christmas causing the recent highs. Or you might be coming down with something. [/QUOTE]
