RE: [IP] Re: What you don't know...
Annabella, Happy Birthday. Control is difficult and sometimes even
impossible. I have been trying to regulate mine for the past 4 years and
get more and more frustrated every day. Someday maybe I will get it right.
Just do your best and let the chips fall where they may.

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!
