Blood sugar rise on moving home

[becky.ford93]

I've recently left uni having finished my degree (for good!!) but I'm suddenly finding it a lot harder to control my blood sugars. After 4 years of living away from home I can't decide whether it's partly the stress of being home or that my routine has changed more than I've realised (i.e. less activity when I'm home). I'm finding it frustrating as last night I even made sure I went for a 25 minute walk after dinner in an attempt to get my levels down and it was still 9.3 before bed, despite accurate carb counting.
I'm really worried because I'm now going to be living at home for a year before moving out again to save up some money, and I don't want to be like this for a whole 12 months when I was doing really well beforehand! I'm due to see my consultant tomorrow and I'm so disappointed that he's not going to be able to see how much better I was doing before this.
Has anyone else had this sort of problem??

Hi Becky,

Woohoo - degree is over! I remember that feeling well. Have you had your results yet, or are you sill waiting?

I've recently moved house and I had a few days of fairly erratic sugars. I think it was mainly down to the stress of moving - hate it! Hopefully they will settle quickly. In the meantime, just up the testing and do correction doses where and when needed. As you said, the change of routine could also be playing a part. I'm sure you'll soon get settled in to a new routine, though, and the sugars should then follow.

Em x

Still waiting at the moment! Perhaps that's part of the problem thanks for the support

Haha I can't imagine it helps!

Just wanted to say congrats on finishing - nice feeling isn't it, (even if the glucose levels aren't exactly playing ball right now.)

Hopefully things will settle down soon.

Hmm, my daughter has just come home (only for a few weeks) after finishing her fourth year at uni and I am also finding it hard to keep control of my blood sugars, Oddly when me, husband and daughter 2 went away for the weekend there they were just fine!!!
