I have for a long time been affraid of injecting to much insulin.
A couple of years ago i was never affraid. I took alot of insulin, went out without my Freestyle, and had no fear..
But then it all started. I began to reduce my insulin levels more and more... Affraid of getting hypos.
I usualy go for 3-4IE for most of my meals... Sometimes bellow... If i eat 3 potatoes i take 3 IE... if i take 8 potatoes i take 4IE, tho i know i should be taking more, im just sooo affraid of seeing insulin numbers above 4. Im so affraid because im affraid to vommit because i get anxtious, and then get low since i vomit out everything ive eaten :S
If i have a meal which I injects 3 IE and 2 hours later im back to normal i think... "omg, what would have happend if i injected 5 IE, would i be able to stop it before its too late?
Should be noted that im very active so im very sensitive.
What could be done to overcome this fear... People tell me that: "you shouldent be affraid... Even if you doubled your dose from 3 to 6... you would be able to stop it when you get low... Even when its dropping quickly"
What do you guys say? Do you agree? Anything i could do to overcome this fear?
