Thank you. I know what I need to be doing but I just feel like diabetes can kiss my a** right now!!!!!
And every day in between!
As
@ElyDave says, try to relax. I appreciate that's not as easy to you at this moment with all the pressure you're under, but stress will send your control out of the stratosphere, which will make studying, revision, etc., that much harder.
Don't turn to alcohol as that won't help, but do try drinking less caffeine (tea, coffee, red bull, etc) and drinking camomile and other non-caffiene, herbal teas as they will help to cleanse your body and mind and keep it clear for your studies.
I also wholeheartedly recommend going to see the pastoral office / lecturers and talk with them about it - type 1 is a disability and you are entitled to get assistance (such as additional time) if your health is affecting your ability to get things done on time.
Try this buddhist mantra (especially when your brain hits the wall) - it helped calm me down during several periods of crisis, perhaps it could help you too?
Breathing in I calm my body,
Breathing out I smile.
Living in this present moment
I know this is a wonderful moment.
I used to look at a photo I'd taken of a fab pacific sunset when I did it; perhaps if you find something to visualise your fondest experiences or desires that will help you to unblock the neuro-log jams and sort your levels.
Best wishes - and luck!
