Hi everyone this is the first time I have ever used a forum and I'm not normally the type of person to bother other people but I am feeling really confused and not sure how I should be feeling.
I was diagnosed only 6 weeks ago and was quite ill leading up to been admitted to hospital with all the symptoms and very rapid weight loss and i had ketones etc however I had no clue that I had diabetic symptoms. Since leaving hospital it took around 2 weeks of adjustments to reduce my bloods down from 20s to 11-12 and then I went back to work and spent the week just keeping my bloods down. The following week it all changed it was the battle of keeping them up then down and made me feel a little depressed the following 2 weeks I kept a stricked diet and routine and my bloods seem to be quite good and now this week iv had 2 hypos and seem to be running low more often than high.
Sorry for rambling on a bit but to cut a long story short I keep thinking that I've maybe been miss diagnosed and have the urge to not take insulin to see what happens but worried something might go wrong it's been a bit overwhelming the constant monitoring every 2 hours carb counting food diarys diet change I just feel that I'm OK then my bloods are low and then feel depressed I also caught the cold on my 1st week back to work and have had a very stressful bereavement in the family 2 weeks ago and trying to learn everything about diabetes at the same time while balancing work and family life too I'm just not sure if this is normal to feel this way at first or am I somehow going crazy cause some days I feel normal and then my bgs are low or slightly higher and also everything thing I do now is a new experience for the first time again not knowing my abilities and losing confidence in the things I did on a daily basis before been diagnosed and feel I'm not performing at work the way I did and just generally feeling lost. All the people around me just keep telling me I will be fine it will be normal so many opinions from people that don't have diabetes telling me it's nothing then I feel like I'm over reacting.
