hi, i have just registered today looking for feedback bout how other people cope with their diabetes. some days am ok oher days i just wish it would go away.
 
Hi and welcome carol.Think most of us have those days when we are walking on air the next day we are really going through the mill, if i have learnt one thing about being diabetic it is not to let it all build up i have to talk to people about it, if you need to ask anything on here anytime do so, no questions is to silly, they will always be someone on here to talk to.

Hi Carol, welcome to the forum🙂 I think everyone has their ups and downs, no matter how long they have been diagnosed - blood sugar levels can mess with your moods when they don't behave!

Don't be afraid to ask any questions here, or just have a good old vent to let off steam - we're all behind you!🙂

do you test your bloods often , my fingers are so sore i think i am maybe overdoing it. I worry when they are high then worry incase i hypo what a horrible experience that is.
 
hey carol
I test generally in the morning, late afternoon before T to see if i need a snack cos we dont eat till after 7pm ..then 2hr after T to make sure that im keeping within the limits im fairly stable at mo rarely go above 7 apart from in mornings and rarely lower than 5 . My last HbA1c was 6.4 i take one 500mg metaformin a day .
 
Hi Carol, welcome to the forum.
 
Hi and welcome
 
dafne

Hi everyone i have recently went on a dafne course dose adjusment for normal eating i dont think i will ever look back it learns you fantastic information on how to control sugar levels if you can get on it go as it gives you great freedom and you can eat what ever you like.The course learns you to count carbohydrates and take extra insulin to cover any food.
 
Hi Carol lovely to hear from you, ive not done that particular course but im pleased it has given you all you needed from it.
 
Hi Carol and welcome!

I've found that sometimes I can account for my wayward sugars - other times it can be so frustrating when they hit you with unexpected highs and lows! Northerner has created some amusing thoughts in his diary feature "Dear Diabetes" - worth a look through 🙂
