Not even close.   I am well controlled with just the usual medications and have never had a diabetic event.   Only a handfull of times I have been able to tell that I needed to eat something.   I'll prick my finger and sure enough it was low so I eat.   I go for long periods without even tested my blood sugar level here at home.   My Doctor doesn't like me doing that but it was always within the recommended levels.   I just looked, and the last time I tested was in May.   I'll do that tomorrow since you reminded me.

It drives me crazy to hear of diabetics going to the hospital with A1C readings up to the moon because they still eat the same way that brought on the diabetes.   Cut out the candy, cake and ice cream, even on Halloween and your children's birthdays.
