 I couldn't agree more, CONTROL is difficult. Things keep changing, espiecally
basal rates as
 soon as I think I've had 2 or 3 good days it is back all over the place. I have
given up formal
 basal testing, I just tweak. How does one predict how much exercise one will do
in 2 hours in
order to reduce basals??  I can't.

 As for food, carb counting is at best an approximation, how ripe is this apple,
how dense is
 this bread slice, I wiegh everything but still go all over the place. Plus
gluten free foods are
even more ununiform.

 Sorry for my rant. Life is better with the pump & BG testing monitors, but not
today, after my
 set change my BG shot up, bad set??, seems to be coming down now after I stuck
another
set in,  but I hate that & it's my birthday!
