Totally agree about the hormones thing. I'm half way through puberty (says my doctor) And when going through the stages of puberty your appetite will change, and more insulin intake is necessary. And for the people saying keeping it under 7 or something, I know this, but i'm having trouble because I just moved from a new country. Food is totally different, instead of a bowl of rice with chicken, its A bowl of rice with Cashew nuts, chilli, basil leaf and chicken. Adjusting is the most difficult thing for me at this time because in this new environment I get less time to play football, to socialize and really to get out of the house and enjoy the sun.

I hope I can get my HBa1c to 8 by the end of Febuary, I'm really starting to feel confident about my diabetes, and I want to stay healthy, I love my life I love everything about it and I just need some help some motivation from my parents and friends.

Thanks for the help given by the way.
