I was diagnosed 5 years ago, and since that have received extremely patchy healthcare. Because I've had symptoms and blood sugar levels that don't fit the mould, I've been pushed from pillar to post.
In the last few years my life has been entirely on hold, I'm now 31 and afraid life is passing me by. I've had to run my blood sugars higher than you should because of constant hypos. I can be in a safe zone of say 9, and within 15 between be completely low. Anyway, this has badly impacted my mental and physical health. I'm being treated for severe panic disorder and cannot travel alone, go to work, or even be separated very much from my parents as it has destroyed my confidence and ability. My question is, can anyone recommend a diet that helps reduce hypos? Does anyone have any experience with anxiety disorders because of hypos? Do you think a closed loop pump and cgm would help? I feel very unwell because of the high bs, and think I have autonomic neuropathy as I have a very fast pulse and excess sweating. Cardiologist said the pulse was not from anxiety btw. So fed up with this **** now really want to be able to lead some kind of life!! Thanks guys xx
