Thank you so much,, unlucky for you all Ive decided to stay here and cause you more issues lol - Only joking.. I today helped myself. I pushed myself to go for a walk last night and today I walked into Plymouth centre - 2 miles, I checked my bloods - 18, not good so walked into town - 20, so went for a little more further walk and after 2 coffee's I wad down to 18 again.. I have since called the diabetic helpline and am waiting on a call back.

I posted this link to Sick Day Rules a few posts ago, but you may have missed it. It’s a PDF flowchart from the Diabetes Centre in Leicester that gives you suggestions of what action to take based on your BG levels when you are ill with T1 🙂

Hang in there @IamLawrie
Folks here care for you. We want to help. Diabetes can be frustrating, and draining. And you aren’t getting the support you deserve, and need. But things can improve if you get a bit more help. You just need guidance on how to adjust your doses gently and safely.
We are rooting for you.

Thank you
I am in Plymouth too, are you trying Derriford? I was admitted for similar numbers with gastritis recently and ended up in dka and team were amazing, if your surgery send you to them then you will be in a good caring place, just need to try and bypass A&E as it’s overloaded.

Diabetes can be overwhelming at times. And when it’s not responding to treatment it can make things really tough and mess with your head big time.

Hi Lawrie,
Take a deep breath and start again (take one day at a time) We can help you but only if you allow us to do so. 🙂
There is no question that is silly, so if there's something you do not understand then ask again so someone can phrase it differently.
Would it be easier for you to ask a question IE., how to increase basal (background/long acting) insulin?
When you have high blood sugars it does make your mood very black esp if you already have depression one of the downsides of this is having a muddled thought process as if you have treacle going through your veins and brain.
It will pass though once your numbers come down to a more normal range.

This forum is so helpful, we can talk about what we had for dinner, our latest blood results, share our graphs, tell silly jokes and so on, but the single most important reason for any of us to be here is to help and be helped. To leave when you need us most would be so sad.

Thank you so much means a lot! I’m just worn out mentally.
Thank you I really hope you can forgive me, I’m so worn out and tired with everything just feeling hopeless and like a lost cause.Hi Lawrie,

Nothing to forgive, IamLawrie. We're all in the same boat, doing the best we can, and its not a easy thing to manage. If it's a bit too much today, you can come back and read the thread tomorrow. And ask questions. We, like the thread, will also be here.
The helplessness is just depression lying to you. It does that, depression. Makes you feel like you are always felt this way and always will. Trust me, that's not true.
You are not a lost cause.
Take care
No wonder, high bloods messes with your head and you were already down as it is. Hope you get through and they reply quickly, they really are a lovely team so keeping my fingers crossed that they can help you x
Ouch, hoping was just the pj’s rip but obviously we need to be extra careful with any injury, have you an ice pack or bag of peas to try and bring the swelling down? Hoping someone else can give an idea on injuries especially to avoid A&E at this time of night!
I hope so, they used to telephone weekly but now I don't hear anything - and not going A+E if I can help it.. if no good in a few days then I will call the GP. - Hope you're OK and well ?
