Phew...took the dog for a walk this morning Glenmac...hard enough negotiating the pavements...never mind the roads in this weather...not driving anywhere if I can help it...do believe we can divert occasionally from the food restrictions we have...particularly at this time of the year...as long as I can identify any rise...I'm okay with that...and since it's only an occasional diversion...as far am I am concerned...that's allowed;).

Sometimes Karen we just have to accept Diabetes is an absolute B***H...waits for us to get comfortable...then as you say...she launches that curved ball...just because she can!

Good Morning all :D. 244mg (13.8 mmol) this am. Not great but better than I have been. I'm getting over my fear of the Novolog so I am going to take some shortly, 2 units should do it without dropping dangerously low. I'm supposed to take 1 unit for every 50mg I'm over 150mg. I am determined to get my readings stabilized without bottoming out or going off the charts. Still waiting for the nutritionist consultation, I'm sure that will help me a lot. Learning to count the carbs for every meal will go a long way to getting leveled out. I started out looking at every label I bought and I got so overwhelmed I started slacking off and then stopping completely. Reading about other people having a hard time with diet, and then reading some of the post of those who have had complications from not toeing the line, has renewed my resolve. My heart goes out to everyone who has been battling this disease and can only say that seeing others meet their goals and to know that they are overcoming there own demons gives me strength to keep battling my own.

Morning...actually got a lie ...needed it...getting back on track finally after the Christmas carb explosion...almost managed a whole 24hrs without reaching for the 'contraband'...just off to bed last night...reached out for a couple of chocolates...woke to a 5.7...certainly better than yesterday...so improving slowly...freezing this morning...about to reach for the dogs lead...more coffee first I think.

Hope things settle down for you soon with your BG levels,but it's still new to you so maybe it takes time,I'm no expert with insulin not being on any,but I do remember my sister when she was first diagnosed. K
