Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nicola M" data-source="post: 2736483" data-attributes="member: 81557">Firstly, I am sorry that obviously you are struggling with your diabetes.I went through a period of time when I was around 22-24 where even though like you I was on the pump but my blood sugars were never much below 14 and always went up to 22+ every single day. Mostly down to my own fault of eating what I shouldn’t, not giving enough insulin. It resulted in my HbA1c if I remember rightly of 78. I would firstly suggest getting into contact with your diabetes team if you can so they can help you out and possibly put a plan into place to get you back on track, if you aren’t already I’d recommend asking your team if you can also use CGM’s.I would also suggest going back to basics (checking that your basal rates are correct and then moving on to checking that your carb ratios are correct). It’s easier said than done to stop eating and if it’s your comfort it’s not going to be easy to stop, have you tried swapping the chocolate for something with a little less carbs or even no carbs that will satisfy the “craving” but not affect your blood sugar as much. Can you also talk to your supervisor about perhaps moving to something a little less stressful for the time being until you’re in a better routine with your sugars, stress can contribute to poorer blood sugars but then poorer blood sugars can result in more stressful so it’s a vicious circle. Good luck to you! It’s not easy and I do sympathise with how you’re feeling.</blockquote>
