[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 543571, member: 66676"] Call your DSN /Diabetes Clinic and ask to be put on a carb-counting course - even if you've been on one before, you'll find that data changes and sometimes a change of 'trainer' or going with a fresh perspective helps you absorb better. Put it this way, diabetes is a bit like cancer: it can eat away at you subtly and quietly without you realising it until, all of a sudden you get an eye bleed, or you suddenly get loss of sensation in the fingers, or you need to go to the toilet every two hours, etc. The difference between cancer and diabetes though is that the survival rate of diabetes is much better - providing you control it. The more you know and understand about living with what you have, the greater your chances of living a full and healthy (indeed healthier) life. Good luck - and get on that course (they are statutorily obliged to offer you education about living and managing your diabetes)! [/QUOTE]
