[QUOTE="BlaiseS, post: 1150617, member: 294456"] Are you currently on set doses through out the day? If so, it could be what is causing your hypo's and hypers. Eventually, you will be offered an appointment with a nutritionist who will explain carb counting to you (I highly recommend the carbs and cals book - it'll come in VERY handy). Right now, you are either having too much insulin for the carbs you're eating or not enough... Make sure you have some sort of low GI carb at each meal (potatoes, rice, pasta, wholemeal bread) as these are what the insulin works with. It's super difficult at first, but I'm only a month in and it's already so much easier - and I'm sure I've had much more help. Just try not to worry as the consistent lows and highs will not be forever, if you really want to do some research, I also recommend the book 'Think like a pancreas' it's taught me so much about my diabtes.
