[QUOTE="AmandaD, post: 1367668, member: 199116"] Hi Jessirene, you're not a bad diabetic at all. I've been where you are myself. Two years ago my HbA1c was 12.1% its now 7%. I stopped the insulin to lose weight and yes I did lose it but was sick as a dog I'v regained 2.5 stone of the 7.5 stone I lost. I've been pumping for the last 11 years and have had a cgm for the last 6. (type 1 30 years). Start small get one part of the day good before moving onto the next thing. Right now taking your insulin regularly is the important bit. Take baby steps don't let the charts and all the rest overwhelm you, thats not you at this moment in time, in a few months time you may well be posting the same graphs!! Try and take your insulin properly for the morning say and build from there, remember Baby steps. I get lectures every time I go to the clinic cos there is usually one thing or another they're not pleased with sometimes I just think they'd can't be pleased lol The cgm will help big time in seeing where your blood sugars are at. Its a shame that they haven't given you the means to actually download it, what CGM is it?? [/QUOTE]
