Hi everyone.
I've been diabetic for almost 13 years when I was diagnosed at the age of 7. All throughout my teenage years and still now, I have had a constant battle with dawn phenomena and insulin resistance.
My diabetic team are struggling to help bring my HbA1c down because of my dawn phenomena. We've tried all sorts of different basals (I'm on the Omnipod pump), and even Metformin (which I had severe reactions to so my diabetic team have advised me to stop taking it), and I'm still getting nowhere.
My diabetes frustration is at an all time high and I don't know what else to do... it's starting to affect my control all the time as my motivation is suffering.
If anyone has any advice or tips... I'd greatly appreciate them... I'm at my wit's end...
