[QUOTE="LucySW, post: 761950, member: 113749"] Well, I've got a success story at the moment. After 7 months struggling I've at last managed good control for the moment, by dint of Bernsteinian low-carbing combined with two weeks of an accurate Libre sensor (most weren't). This was a very useful learning device as it shows you when your QA starts to work and what is the best timing for you for QA and eating. This allowed me to avoid spikes - which was what was contributing to my HbA1c. So at the moment I have good control, average BG 5.5, low variation 0.65, HbA1c 39 / 5.7. OTOH I'm just starting out in this game. I'm still honeymooning and my insulin needs are going up; and real life messes things up. Yes, our control really, really matters. But we ought to be able to do it. If we go back to basics with basal checking, look for patterns in our numbers, get as full records as we can. We have to do it. We want to live full, happy lives, don't we. Lucy [/QUOTE]
