it started like 2 weeks ago, one day my morning BG was 8.5, its usually between 5-6 so that scared me a bit. the day before i had some sweets on a little party, it was made from coconut flour and all low carb things, but i thought maybe i was not careful enough. but the next day my fasting BG was above 8 too and the whole day i got bad readings, i tried to have less carbs, after meal it was okay 5 something, but in an hour it jumped to 9. i was home all day, didnt have anything between the two readings so i didnt know whats going on. i decided to have a long jog that evening a little after meal and that helped, my BG was 6 something after dinner and the jog. next morning i got the usual reading, around 6 so i was happy, i thought i fixed it and we r back to normal but then it continued getting worse. i was diagnosed 2016 december so this idea also came to my mind, what if this is like the end of the "honeymoon period"..? i hear about this period a lot but i dont know how u can tell when its over. with being more strict on my diet and some work out i could keep my fasting BG under 8 but still above 7, still not so great to me. like a week after this all started i got a low reading 4.8 this was after a meal. the entire week i had high BG so it was odd, then before the next meal it went up above 8-9. again i had nothing between the two readings, i was just relaxing at home all day. i tried giving myself 1 unit more insulin before meal, that seemed to work, after meal reading was fine. but before bed it went up to around 9. so next day i wake up and realise that im going to have my period soon so maybe thats causing this all... i dont know i was just trying to figure out. well but usually i can only see that period is coming on my readings like 2-3 days before period not 2 weeks so i still found it weird. since im on my period (2days) its getting crazier, after meal BG 12, before meal around 8-9. exercise wont help much either, not eating raises my BG too. once it dropped down to 4 and jump to above 10 in an hour not doing anything again. i cant figure out whats going on. And worse is i dont have a doctor to talk to. i turned 18 a few weeks ago so i had to change all my docs. a month before i turned 18 i already started looking for a new diabetes doc, i got an appointment for april 21th, but they called me that they have to cancel it and gave me a new one for may 5 or 6. my previous doc told me she cant give me an appointment bcoz im 18 now so i should consult with a doc for adults. so its still 2 weeks without any help, i dont know if i go to just a hospital and ask for a doc they would help me ? i feel sick all the time for days now. i get a nosebleeding like 2-3 times a day, since few days ago thats what wakes me up in the morning and happens when im just doing nothing. my after meal reading was above 11 today after lunch so i tried exercising a bit but few mins later i started feeling sick again and then soon i got a nosebleed again. my BG goes higher and higher every day. i still dont feel like an expert so i dont know if i can give myself more insulin ? i honestly dont know if its just hormones causing it but im starting giving up on that idea bcoz i never had to struggle with diabetes this much while i was on period before and its also odd that this whole thing started 2 weeks before my period so i dont know if i can relate this to that. im sorry my story is messy, im honestly feeling so bad i just cant get myself together. i would be so happy to get any advices or if someone had the same experience whats causing it ?
