Now there are two replies on message board to this thread that I quoted. My reply is one of them, stating that testing is important. Incidently, the reply folling mine is interesting too:

I have had type 1 diabetes for 40 years and ii hardly ever test my sugar except when i think it is low or high. I would say i test maybe several times a week, but not everyday even. If you are 6.4 you are way better. I have not been under 7.5 in my entire life. One way i know if my sugar is low is that i start having trouble seeing and i get this big white spot right in the middle of my vision. Like a light. Also i get a little confused and it is hard to concentrate and noise bothers me....when my blood sugar is high i find that my legs seems to get restless, this is at night mostly so then i get up and test and find it is high. Good luck with your diabetes...I got mine when i was in college at 19 and my entire life i was able to do what ever i wanted...i climbed ladders, went skiing, dug post holes, painted houses, went hiking, in fact i have done more things than most people i know. Now i am 60 and am slowing down. I still paint a lot i am just slower. So dont let the diabetes stop you..just have candy on you at all times.

And that is why I come here for my advice regarding diabetes.
