| Ok....Im gonna gat a whole load of replys saying how stupid/ignorant/dangererous I was during this period of my life, and as a disclaimer, I totally agree with you all now- BUT...
From the ages of 13-21 (four months ago...) I did not test. At all. I was diagnosed at the age of 12 and tested 4x a day but then came up with the bright idea of making my results up, which i continued to do for 8 years. I basically took the same amount of insulin everyday, and reacted to how i felt at the time. Now as you all know this has resulted in bad control recently, which i am rectifying- but during those years I had HbA1cs of 5-7 and was held up as the 'perfect' diabetic....which i found very strange considering I knew all of my logbook was made up!!
The person concerned will realise at some point that thier approach does not work- It may for a while but when it starts to go wrong they wont notice...
Just another opinion from an alternate point of view. |
