Thanks for the responses everyone.My bloods have generally been out of control for 20 years. This is in effect due to an active lifestyle. Although I've never really carb counted as such my diet hasn't been that bad - partly shown through the fact that my cholesterol levels have always been spot on (with higher end HDL and lower end LDL). Often I've been baffled as to why why my blood sugar levels would fluctuate so much. Say if I had an average of 9 it would more than likely be due to 3's and 15's rather than being, 'around 9' all the time.Anyway, during the last week I've got my Blood Sugars down to an average 6.2 (it was 11.4 for the month of March). But I've done this by injecting insulin between 10-12 times a day and testing my blood sugar the same amount of times. So much so that I've already got 'scabs' forming on my side fingers and I've actually almost ran out of test strips.Needless to say I don't think this level of 'care' would be sustainable in any normal kind of life. I'm wondering how long I could actually keep it up for.</blockquote>
