Hey Nathan try using IM injections in your deltoid muscle for corrections at work. They work alot quicker and maybe very helpful at work. An insulin pump may also help with changing profiles from shift work. I use an insulin pump but also use IM injectiins for BG above 10 mmol.

I wouldn't be able to eat either if that happened, and it is quite a normal response to that type of trauma, sometimes a breakup can cause you to lose your appetite for a long time and is hard to get back as i'm sure others can attest to. Do your best to look after yourself.

Great stuff, and yes it's not too late. Take care Kiddo, my thoughts will be with you.

Very good @Bassiette your clever.

You could try not eating food that raises your blood sugar. Just a thought At least until they give you bolus insulin. Eat high protein meals with meat cheese and low carb vegetables.

Hey kiddo it works like this: high sugars do damage and normal sugars repair damage so the thing is try to spend more time with good sugars. Trust me, if you start now you will be fine. if you dont, then in a few years say 20 you will REALLY have something to be depressed about. I have had this...

Absolutely, it should be your only priority. Keep me informed and feel free to message me privately if you prefer or need to.

I just read a lot of the posts on the epilepsy link you posted. They are very similar to what your describing, even the time lengths they spoke about post seizures and the out of body and strange thoughts etc.

Here is an interesting article for the fact that it isn't unheard of. http://www.neurologytimes.com/epilepsy-and-seizure/are-epilepsy-and-type-1-diabetes-linked

I would go see an epilepsy doctor because if this is true you need some medication to prevent seizures when having hypos. It's a death trap and if your wrong well nothing lost but if your right well enough said. I have an eerie feeling your right also and it needs some proper attention before...

I would at least contact Bernstein as he may have a clue what is going on in that he sees hundreds of diabetics with co-morbidities. And yes it will be a huge relief just to know what the hell is going on. Your welcome regarding the support it's the least I can do and it would be good to find...

it sounds more than just a psychological problem. I wonder if the release of adrenaline from your hypo is triggering some as yet undiagnosed problem.

I'm wondering if Dr Bernstein maybe able to help you? Are you familiar with him?

@mentat I really feel for you because that is terrifying. I hope you find out what is going on and quickly because that is no way to live. Let us know how you go. Also have you spoken to a psychiatrist at all or a good physician or endocrine Dr?

Yes, absolutely try it out, it can make a profound difference in your control. When I first changed it I noticed a difference immediately and it only took a few days to perfect the dosages.
