22 Years old, been diagnosed for 11 years in November. The past year my BG has been 15+ probably 70% of the time. I have lumps in my arms and legs, which means that most of the time i'll do my insulin but it doesn't work properly
Just feeling down about it all though, just got back from a weeks holiday in Spain, my first without any 'adults' and while I was there ended up in Hospital. It was due to me panicking more than anything though. It was about 1030pm and i tested my BG and it was 15.1, as I wanted to keep it a bit high while abroad i had a small bowl of chocolate wheetos to keep it up. About 40 minutes later it had gone down to 10.3, which I thought was strange, so I washed my hands and tested the same finger and it was 9.3, 2 minutes later i tested again and it was 7.1. The last time I had given myself any insulin was about 4 hours ago, so this sent me into a massive panic and I had 2 cans of coke, 20 minutes later I tested again and it had gone to 5.1. As it went down rather than up I panicked and asked my hotel to call me a doctor. It did eventually go up, but I just feel like I can never relax. I test a ridiculous amount of times a day, and just cannot ever see myself testing any less than now. Which is funny because I used to get told off because I'd only test 1/2 times within a couple of days!
Has anyone else had periods where it is just high? Another point is that when it high, I would give myself 4/5 units of insulin to get it down, but it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference, its like once it is high, then it will be high for the rest of the day!
Anyone else had experiences of it dropping fast for no reason??
