At the moment life is beginning to get a little tough and part of me wants to give in and throw in the towel but that would be stupid I know.
I have raised about £3,000 for research into diabetes and unless they cure it I don't know if there is anything out there for me. |
I don't accept that, because your quality of life is at stake (yes, I know it isn't any of my business). I think you need to educate yourself about insulin management......
Using Insulin by John Walsh is my dog-eared reference book, and even though John Walsh is American, he gets mm as well as mg/dL, and his logic rises above both. If you are injecting, here is a link to insulin port info:
Auto Control Medical - Insuflon Catheter
For the record, education and frequent testing have made me live the life I lived before diagnosis (minus 1/2 hour every day), and provide me with stable A1c's in the non-diabetic range. You need to make your own decisions, of course, and I hope you'll choose what's best for you.
