Thanks guys I've just seen on here that hanging around the 8's isn't very good for you, I'm having another kinder slice with lunch tomorrow got a taste for them after having one the other day 🙂 least I'm allowing myself something nice as really getting fed up of the same things all the time, hopefully after seeing Paul I will feel a bit more confident with everything 🙂 fingers crossed anyway 🙂, I think it's gotten on top of me now emotionally as I didn't even cry the day I was diagnosed I was lying in the hospital bed with a DSN telling me I was now Type 1 diabetic and I didn't even feel like I was there, it was like I was floating above the bed sounds ridiculous but that's the only way I can explain it, I don't know if it's cause I'd been on a sliding scale and my levels were more normal or what but I've never cried about it yet, maybe that's what I need to do just let it all out but I'm not sure Paul would be able to cope with that the poor guy haha xx

What are potoato cakes are they triangular in shape if so we call then tattie scones not sure if it's the same or not haha there is no DAFNE near me and I never got to ask about any local ones when I saw the DSN last week so I might email and ask her, I do carb count but only relying on information in front of me at the moment :( x

There is no DAPHNE for me too but am booked onto BERTIE in May plus I've been referred to a dietician. My DSN said the dietician can start me off on carb counting. Is that an option for you?

I have 5 units before breakfast, 13 at lunch and 15 before tea and I am still mostly in double figures!

I do carb count and adjust my insulin for it Sals, I'm just no good at eyeballing skills yet x
 
Well guys my appointment went very well and I am already feeling more confident and happier, Paul is happy with the way my levels are as they are averaging at about 7.2 over the past 7 days which although not ideal isn't disastrous, been told to loosen up and just go for life rather than being hung up on the numbers etc so looking forward to hopefully being much happier and confident in what I do, maybe I will become the person I used to be and not the shell of my former self that I am now, fingers crossed for me guys 🙂 xx
 
Glad it went well, it's always good if you've got a person to contact that you feel confident in.
 
Kaylz,
Glad you had a good appointment.
Fingers firmly crossed for you x
 
Will probably have it Thursday 🙂 got the hospital tomorrow so it's all a bit too much of a rush, would rather sit and enjoy it then have to shovel it in at speed lol x
 
I'm so glad that your appointment went so well. Good luck with your eye appointment today. I will be thinking of you x

For anyone interested that might not see it on the group 7 day waking average my appointment went very well at the hospital with Dr Ellis telling me I am the best success story, now regained 20/20 vision in my right eye with my left eye still a bit iffy but that's been a problem for me for years and nothing related to this 🙂 x
 
Fan bloody tastic news haha, thanks 🙂 x
