Morning Diabuddies! how are you?
A bit of an update from my last two posts:
Since Tresiba, I don't know if it has improved my situation or not. I am struggling to stand on my own two feet because it's me against the world at the moment.
I had an exam on tuesday 7th and 3 essay submissions on wednesday 8th may, I attended my exam but I missed my essay submission, prior to that I was told it was a resit and wasn't allowed to have an extension. This has sadden me because I am trying, I am tanking my diabetes and living life like a zombie. My exam was awful, I hypoed during the exam and almost fell asleep. I haven't slept properly at all, I've been staying up to try and finish my essays and inject Tresiba early because I run high at around early noon.
I am trying to submit my essays because I really want to finish my degree and say yay I did it. I have picked out my third year modules and I'm excited about it. Not so much excited about facing my fears again.
In regards to hypos, I am still having them in spite of carb counting, stress, hormones and not sleeping. You could say i'm a hot mess.
My question is: Do I keep trying in spite of my failing health? my university has given me a lot of opportunities to finish and each time I fail because of hypos and suffering some form of C-PTSD. There isn't anything out there left for me if I don't finish my degree. A side note, I am seeing my DSN in June and consultant in July. Which is a long period of time for someone who desperately needs attention and help. Also I am waiting for therapy at the moment. I am extremely tired, I just want to sleep and read my books - I ordered books prior to this mess and I haven't been able to read them.
