I'm new to this forum! So apologies if I'm just repeating what someone else has said!
I am 20 years old and I have had diabetes type 1 13 years. I'm a exercise addict and I never eat bad foods e.g. chocolate/sweets/crisps etc.
Since the summer, I have noticed how bad my bloods are getting, they are so high constantly or unexpectedly. Most of them is down to stress from assignments, as I am in my final (stressful) year of university. However, I am always correcting even the slightest high, and they will jump up hugely! I know the best advice is to go to the hospital to change doses, but I am so down and unmotivated from it I feel like giving up! I often have days thinking why do I bother. I know this post sounds a tad depressive but I would really appreciate if anyone also faces situations like this. I am so keen to grow up healthy, have a family and continue my ballet dancing (no way can I have bad feet from diabetes!) If anyone has any advice or can simply join me in a rant I would be very grateful.
