Well here I am again, still pretty much in the same place as 2+ years ago, still on the same insulins and still having the same rollercoaster problems. With taking great care with meals and counting get good control.. only to lose it after usually only 1or 2 weeks. I can't get the answers I need, I do have to say my latest nurse is brilliant and being very proactive in trying to find the reason for morning spikes, it may be that my Lantus dose is too high but still in process of checking that, but after a week in hospital to gain pain control after a cerebral nerve palsy has knocked out the muscle to my left eye disastrously, I got good control, only to 3 weeks later, lose it again, today a reading of 27.5 before my lunch tipped me over the edge, I just lost it, ate cake, chocolate, jam, you name it, I lost it big style.. not clever, stupid, :crazy: but I was just so angry and frustrated after all the 'being good' and not having things I crave on a daily basis, I just flipped. I feel down, stupid, angry but most of all frustrated; I want good control, to have good health, to look after my nerves and my vision( I've had this diplopia twice now, I have high bp, high cholesterol and have also had a bell's palsy this last year) :thumbdown: Is anyone out there having this problem, I've only been diabetic 5and a bit years, have always had a Very sweat tooth and am 60 this year, it's a massive habit to change but I need to and I'm not normally this weak willed but I just lose it when I lose the good levels. Help please, any suggestions very welcome.
