I'm really struggling here. Started insulin 3 months ago after a lifetime fear that I would ever develop diabetes. My 15 yr old is type 1 also, and coping brilliantly! Unfortunately, I'm not.
Tonight I feel fearful & depressed. I'm worried about having a hypo & not waking up. Stupid, I know. Diabetic nurse told me the only people that happens to are those who drink alcohol.
Well a few nights ago I went to bed on 12.2 (HIGH) and woke up less than 3 hrs later at 1.8. Think I tested from habit rather than symptoms, but they came in seconds after reading that number.
I've been diabetic for nearly 5 years, but somehow the transition to insulin is causing me huge stress, and the onset of symptoms I didnt have before
(numb hands, painful foot)
I really need to get a grip - and quick. Thi nk I just wanted to rant - sorry!!
