[QUOTE="Alison54321, post: 2102486, member: 472744"] I've had T1D for almost 43 years now. When I first had it I had urine tests to rely on, so the only way to tell if I wasn't hypo was by how I felt. When I look I back I wonder how anyone survived, but people did. I'm not trying to suggest that people have it easy now, but managing it is partly instinctive, and how you feel is massively important, and that develops over time. If you fear you're going to take too much, and aren't comfortable with it, then don't take more than you feel comfortable with. Just correct later, and then next time you might feel more able to take more if you're eating more carbs. You have to trust your own ability to feel when it's going right, and when it isn't. You don't want to constantly fear failure, you need to develop a sense that you can cope with it. I'm sure you can, but you need to feel that you can. [/QUOTE]
