Hi guys. I've been on the verge of posting for over a yr now but I'm too ashamed of myself. I was diagnosed type 1 on 9th September 2005 by severe ketoacidosis weeks after having meningitis. I felt an if honest still feel I'm grieving for my old life. I hate everything so strongly I panic everyday especially around insulin dosing. I still don't understand aspects of it for example bosul (if that's the right spelling!). I regularly have awful bs results sometimes 30mmols+ which I know is dangerous. I worry if I subconsciously deliberately let my bs get so high as some sort of punishment for not looking after myself. I have other medical conditions too including bipolar, clinical depression, anxiety, which definitely doesn't help. I have 2 boys and they don't deserve my weaknesses. Please help me. I'm so scared of ruining there life's because of my selfishness. The thing is, which is even more frustrating, is that I know the risks of poor control yet I don't feel I deserve to be well. Has anyone else felt the same or similar? I feel ashamed and isolated and regularly don't go to my appointments because it's accepting I need to have this for the rest of my life. I've waited years for specific counselling in relation to this disgusting condition. I'm sorry. for sounding pathetic as there's people alot worse off than me. I don't know if this is another reason I feel pathetic and unworthy of even feeling this way because my family is plagued by illness.
Does anyone else have to have a high bs to stop hypoing during exercise? I have to have it 18mmols+ and after an hour's walking it's down to 8 or below. At 10 my bs plummet generally. I'm sorry for the book worthy word count im just panicked all the time and I'm emotionally exhausted. Please please help me. Any reply is very welcomed and greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my disgraceful essay of moans!
