so, i have had diabetes since 24th april, im on an emotional rollercoaster and truly fed up today. Ive had lots of hypo's, false hypo's ad feeling sad.I have entered the honeymoon period where my pancreas has decided to work temporarily thus putting me through these hypo's. Last night, i forgot to take my Lantus for the first time ever.......this sparked a plan in my head, my reading was 7.2 when I woke up, i naively thought "Oh, they have so mis diagnosed me, i will let my pancreas carry on doing its thing so i thought of a stars in there eyes moment and thought to myself "Today Matthew, im going to be non-diabetic"!! I thought i would test my theory and not have any of my novo injections even if i have all 3 meals, I still checked my bgl continuously just in case but for the first time in what seems a lifetime, it felt great not to hide my injections. I still carried my diabetes bag round just in case. All day, my levels have been gradually increasing. After my tea, i checked 2 hours later and my bgl was in double figures!! So, my theory was not right and my pancreas is not working as well as i thought. I took a couple of units of novo to bring it down slightly, then took my Lantus as usual. I have to admit, I wouldnt advise anyone do this as i did start to feel ******. I think i got it out of my system so onwards and upwards, diabetes will not ruin my life, it wont control me, i will control it!!
