Yes, "brittle" diabetes can be referred to as not having control but should go on to clear up that everyone who is "brittle" don't exactly have any fault in it.
I have always been labeled "brittle". If I lived my life the same everyday, ate the same foods everyday and did the same amount of exercise a day you would think I can easily inject this amount of insulin a day and be stable for lets say an entire month.
This doesn't happen. While one week may give me wonderful bg's the next week though following the same regime may have me falling low or having highs. All the while everything is the same.
I find myself consistently changing basal rates in my pump. What seems to work one week completely falls apart the next and so forth.
I also do fall in that category when my blood sugar rises, it rises fast same with going low.
