[QUOTE="Tron-Ir3, post: 1462373, member: 398331"] [USER=53120]@akindrat18[/USER] Hi totally see your point in regards to not listening. I have Type 1 and I have been a diabetic for almost 30yrs, I recall being told that I need 10 units before every meal. Remember getting hypos when I don't eat enough or the carbs don't add up etc. Started adjusting my intake on the type of meal I was about to eat, at the time I thought to myself if I at times don't eat much or if I slightly a little more would it not be common sense to do this, told the nurse during check up and they where not happy with me. Anoway instill adjust my insulin depending on my food in take and now as I work abroad they doctors and nurses there says it's good that I adjust as it's not set in stone it's a boarder guide line. OK so after all this time I have lost the ability to detect a hypo coming but I have came up with a way for colleagues, friends and family to alert me. I told them to ask me simple arithmetic questions if I can't answers these within 2secs I need food or something sweet. This trick saved me a few times, not sure why it works but I think when my sugar level drops my brain goes into to slow motion even for simple tasks. But yes I think I do feel better adjusting my intake depending on the meal in front of me :) [/QUOTE]
