[QUOTE="mike1972, post: 785301, member: 163733"] about six years ago I lived a completely different life style which was career driven and no thought to my diabetes and I decided to turn my life around and accept that I had to change my ways as my diabetes was out of control and I have chronic kidney disease stage 3 and all the usual problems associated with diabetes type 1. I attended a carb counting course that changed the way I dealt with my illness and in 2011 I had an accident which resulted in me being disabled and unfortunately I lost my mom to lung cancer as well. At that point in my life I was as low as it got and being in a wheel chair for 7 months enabled me to see how poorly controlled I really was. This was my defining moment of clarity and I did not want to carry on allowing my diabetes to control me , so I knuckled down got to grips with my illness. my HbA1c was 15.9% and I brought it down to 6.9% and have stayed at that level for 4 years. this was achieved by eliminating carbs from breakfast and lunch and taking no more novo rapid at these times. my blood tests range from 4.9% - 6.8% throughout the day. evening meal has been reduced by 50% carbs which results in less insulin.
