I have been on insulin for a year I am struggling to get my levels down and all I seem to be doing is putting more and more insulin in and gaining weight! It’s now making me really depressed this morning my fasting levels were 14 I really don’t understand I am also trying to cut carbs as well
Cutting carbs
should help you, just keep an eye on your bloodsugars as you have been, as you could hypo when you find a way forward in that regard.
@xfieldok is right, we can't do much unless we know what you're usually eating... Seek out the things that spike you, help you find alternatives and the like...
Bottom line: You're miserable right now, and in all likelihood you don't actually have to be. (For one thing, high bloodsugars influence mood and increase depression by, well,
a lot. Speaking from experience here. Secondly, feeling like you can't get a grip on this must be very frustrating/exhausting!). There have to be solutions to this somehow, somewhere. Who knows, we might be able to help you find them.
HUGS,
