Hi Liddy!
Welcome to the Forum!
Diabetes is tough to stay on top of, but we must do it for our body's sake and for our loved ones. Test often, count your carbs and take your shots on time. Sometimes it just helps to share and vent. Remember that stress will make your BS go up, just as it does when you are sick.
