I know its not, and I know there are so many things that can go wrong if I dont sort it out. My Dad has a variety of complications from his T2 diabetes, yet this still hasnt motivated me. Sometimes I could just sit and cry about it all, i know that doesnt change anything though. I havent really spoken much to the diabetes team about it to be honest. Im supposed to see them every 4 months, but am still waiting for an appointment to arrive!! I did look into those courses that someone mentioned, but they are run during the week and time off work every week like that just isnt possible. I know how to do the actual carb counting of the food, got books about it and have attempted it before. but i have no idea how much insulin to take per carb and when i have tried i end up having hypos and then i feel awful. and then if im honest i keep my BG high to avoid hypos! and tend to take a big amount of insulin when it gets high to lower it... i know this is totally against what i should be doing, but trying to be honest here. but i am fed up of feeling ill and tired and i need to do something about it.</blockquote>
