Darned hormones. But thank you for your words of wisdom and helping me not feel like the only one who needs tons of insulin at 21. Edited by Mod

Thanks so much for all the information. It is very frustrating and I am going to see my diabetic nurse today. So she'll probably have to add more insulin. And my NP and the diabetic nurse are trying to get me an endocrinologist. But this takes time and they need to speak to him/her before they...

I've been dealing with very high sugars for a while now, and yesterday I got a holter monitor put on and got it off today. I didn't have a good sleep with it on. And I woke up this morning with my sugars in the 20's. And this frustrates me because I am trying so hard to get my diabetes under...

Aww thanks so much. And I'm sorry that you have to go through this too. And it doesn't matter the severity of your situation, it still causes a great deal of pain.

Thanks so much for this! Really needed this. I appreciate all the support I get on here.

Ok, so I went to see my NP today. And he said there was a lot wrong with my body that the hospital didn't tell me about. He said my liver enzymes were elevated but that could've possibly been a fatty liver. He also said that my body was in acidic state and was burning fat but thankfully I was...

I appreciate the hugs so thank you. :happy:

No they did not. I've been given no guidance whatsoever. But my regular medical doctor and my diabetes team have told me today that they were thinking of getting me to see an Endocrinologist. To test me for type 1.5 diabetes and other things that could possibly be making my sugars run high. And...

I finally got home from the hospital after spending ten days in there. I was on I.V fluids for 8 days. And had many tests done including the gastric emptying study which found that I have a mild form of gastroparesis. Ok, so does anyone struggle with finding what foods to eat which make it...

Yeah. It was like I have DKA again. But they keep doing tests and they say it's negative for ketones. Which is a good thing, but I guess the gastroparesis and all the vomiting at home and at the hospital have made me lose all the weight.

Yeah, I just got maxeron. Not really helping with the digestion right now. I'm still feeling sick and my stomach is doing flip after flip. And a lot of stomach pain. And I have Pantoprazole to help with the heart burn. Yeah. My nurse just made me eat a peanut butter toast with banana and I'm...

All my nurses are usually good, just not last nights nurse. And my doctor is just UGGHHHH. She doesn't take me seriously. But yes, I'm glad that she reached a diagnosis. And hopefully she sends me home tomorrow like she's been saying AALLLLL WEEK. The doctor said she's going to try a medication...

So I finally got a sort of diagnosis. I have gastroparesis, and it's "borderline" So basically my food isn't digesting as fast as it's supposed too. So when the food finally reaches my stomach that's when the sugars spike. At 4 in the morning my blood sugar was 18.0 and when the nurse finally...

Nope. The nurse that wrote the note said the doctor overlooked it. So now they want to test me for Gastroparesis. And I see the diabetes team tomorrow. So hopefully they know what to do.

Just asked for the doctor that is taking care of me while I'm here to test me for LADA because apparently they didn't even start the tests. Had to get 20 units of humalog and 24 units of tresiba. As my blood sugar was 23.6 and the nurse was trying to figure out what could have made my sugar...

I went into hospital two days ago because I was feeling really ill. I was shaky and my heart was racy. Checked my blood sugar at home, it was 28.0 and went to the hospital, it had dropped to 20.9 but my heart rate was 188. and my blood pressure was 157/101 They rushed me in and hooked me up to...

took two sugar pills because I felt like my sugar was low. I did not have my blood sugar monitor with me and we just finished swimming. So I'm home now and I took my blood sugar and it was only 15.1 And I know that sugar pills are supposed to spike your sugar but I only went up a little. I...

Yeah it would be nice to get a proper diagnosis. I'm kinda going nuts, I'm blaming myself every day even though I've picked up the exercise and changed my diet to the diet they put me on. I'm taking my diabetic medications and my insulin. Is it normal to feel like you want to stop trying...

They usually say the NP or Family Doctor has to order it. I heard that if you're diagnosed with type 1.5 there's certain treatments to treat it better? Not to cure it, but to manage it?

We've literally tried to call everyone today. The nurses don't know what to do. And my blood sugar went down to 19.0 so it's a good thing. Even if I go to the Emergency Department, depending on if they give me insulin + i.v. fluids my sugar still won't really go down. And the last two times I...
