[QUOTE="JoeT1, post: 1673933, member: 445711"] Then it's going to take a little working out, but that's totally doable. It won't be that 24hours a day 7 days a week. On the flip side, somebody without diabetes won't be a great number all the time. I have a friend who trials the Libre, monitors his levels regularly as he's a pharmacist. He sometimes hits 9.8 and even higher on occasion. Mostly down to a digestion issue, but he is absolutely fine. Sure, big spikes aren't wanted, but in life there are certain things that are not good for you. Too much alcohol, sweets, red meat and so on and on and on and on. People though at times will indulge in these things, and will be "not healthy" for a day or a few hours at a time. So if your levels are high for a while during the day....forgive yourself and figure it out. Will a 10.7 this morning effect me in the long run? I was at that levels for what? 2 hours? Maybe it will, but if you can keep your levels to a good point and decent HBA1C, you're doing great. I understand that perhaps my diagnosis and shock of it all was a little easier than you are handling it. But, I nearly died through DKA, I was incredibly sick with ketones of 3.8 and a HBA1C of 14.3%. You HAVE TO begin to look at even just one little positive of life every day, write it down, read it back the following day and by the end of the week you have a number of positive things to think about. TRY IT. [/QUOTE]
