At long last my levels are down-who'vd thought that my teeth would be causing my levels to be high-last week I did the Empowerment Course @ our Diabetes Education here in Newcastle-as I have said before the Education here in Newcastle is first class-there were only 3 in the class (should have been about 10)-it was better for us as we got through much more-we learnt quite a bit, and had a workbook to work through-some of the things that we did were-practical looking and reading labels of food, working out Fat and Carbs, and then working out carb exchanges for each meal-this is so important to keep your levels normal-and then the insulin that we are going to have, and how to adjust for each meal-we had charts up on the wall where we recorded our BGL's, how many carbs for each meal, and how much insulin we had for each meal, and our bolus insulin- an Endo Dr came in each day and looked at our charts, and adjusted our Insulin doses if needed, based on our charts-we also had a visit to the supermarket , to read labels, weigh fruit, veges to work out how many carb exchanges they were-we also discussed stress, relaxation,  We also talked about the type of Insulins and how they worked-all in all it was a fablous 4 days-we go back in two weeks for a follow up to see how we have been going since the course on our own-will let you all know how I go then
