all the insulin I can have is in my syringe penIf I treated a hypo with too much carbs, I would almost certainly have another spike, triggering more insulin, symptoms and another hypo.
I almost started praying to the doctors after I was diagnosed with diabetes , because the doctors saved my life. I understand that doctors are the same people as everyone else, but still for me they are almost gods. Although incompetent specialists in my mind are somewhere on the level of serial killersThe mental aspects of having diabetes or RH in my case, can ask a lot of your world view of medicine and the practitioners who in different parts of the world are so similar yet so different.
There is a General Chat forum for rants etc.I thought we needed a chat where you can just whine a little about cases in which you understand what happened and why and you know what to do, but you just want to whine about it to someone who, unlike your friends or relatives without diabetes, will not be afraid for you, but will say that- something like "oh, I'm sorry, it happens to me too."

Talk about everything and anything; world events, what books you are reading or films you've seen, what the weather was like... it's up to you.
thanks. Do you think I chose the wrong topic? To be honest, I thought about this chat, but it seems like whining about diabetes is "on topic"There is a General Chat forum for rants etc.

haha, I'm responsible for buying cookies for everyone in my office and every time I can't resist taking a cookie for myself. And I can just buy cookies that I don't like, but I always want to take the most delicious for my colleagues (that's probably why I was chosen as the person who should buy cookies)Then my husband had some chocolate, which I stole some of (why do I do this, it always end badly?) and so ended up with not enough bolus to cover my carbs.
As for hypos.... How I hate hate hate them. Insulin resistance means that it is very very easy for me to overtreat them, with the corresponding rebound...
I usually drink juice, it seems to act quickly too, but I'm shaking for about a minute before my bg rises enough and I manage to eat half of the contents of the refrigeratorI always treat hypo with cola
It is fast and this helps me not to eat too much.
Another thing i try to reduce carb intake so i take less insulin.
Nice thread thanxxxx

Why not? let's addDiabetic whining seems diabetes related to me.
Do you want me or another mod to add Diabetes or "Diabetes related" to the title, just to make it clear?
Diabetes related or just diabetes?Why not? let's add
as you likeDiabetes related or just diabetes?
this is a great idea... i think we are allowed to feel sorry for ourselves sometimes and to have a moan about it...living with type 1 is just so relentless and unforgiving and never gives us a day off....I too sometimes eat way too much to treat a hypo and then i am so mad at myself but it is our brain being starved and we are using our fight or flight to deal with it.I thought we needed a chat where you can just whine a little about cases in which you understand what happened and why and you know what to do, but you just want to whine about it to someone who, unlike your friends or relatives without diabetes, will not be afraid for you, but will say that- something like "oh, it happens to me too."
I had hypo last night and ate too many sweets to relieve it and eventually woke up with BG 16. It's so depresing! When I'm shaking from hypo, I just can't stop eating and usually then I inject insulin almost immediately so that bg doesn't rise, but last night I fell asleep and had to knock down hyperglycemia for half a day, because I always want to prick too much insulin and as a result my bg falls again. While your bg is normal, it's not difficult to keep it, but as soon as it goes beyond the scope, it's so difficult to get it back to normal!

dog food! Neither did me any good.
Bearing in mind that the former occurred in pitch darkness, in a strange house, and I had thought it was malt loaf (!), dog food was even more repellant than normal I suspect.Oh wow, that is officially seriously desperate.... Which tasted better, the dog food or the frosties?
