[QUOTE="azure, post: 1206513, member: 39639"] [USER=315430]@Samael_Coughlan[/USER] I don't know anything about anti-psychotic meds, but it certainly seems a good idea to keep going with them at the correct amounts. Your mental health is very important and I can imagine that it can mess things up if you're not feeling 100% or as close as you can be. Yes, it's hard to manage diabetes when you're working and busy. I think sometimes people without diabetes don't realise just how much work it is. Do you count carbs and adjust your fast acting insulin to what you're about to eat? I'm a grazer too (or greedy - whichever you prefer : D ) What I do is have 3 moderate meals and a mid morning and mid afternoon snack. That keeps my grazing side happy, along with regular drinks. I find a routine helps a lot. It's a pain, but it makes my sugars more predictable. The other option you might want to consider is an insulin pump. It makes it so much easier to adjust your basal insulin (so hopefully avoid lows like that 0.8 you had). It's also great for people with busy lives. Just something to consider :) I have one and I love it. [/QUOTE]
