HIGH blood sugars!
I always have high blood sugar at the moment weather it is when I get up in the night before lunch or after dinner, I am always high. I don't know what to do as I have just lost my energy with trying to control this disease and I don't feel I can continue doing this anymore.

I am also very scared about the future I think I should just let diabetes take me to heaven sonner.

High blood sugar will make you feel quite lethargic...I agree with @Juicyj...you really do need to get in contact with your team and see if they can help point you in the right direction. If you're not doing so already...it's also worth keeping a food diary and test results for a couple of weeks before your appointment so they can get a clearer picture of what's going on.
It takes time to get things under control...but please don't stress on it...it will get easier :)

Hi. It sounds like you need much more support in getting your insulin balance and dosage right. Insulin should be able to control your blood sugar properly but you may need more advice to do this. Your DN should be doing this. If you give us more information we may be able to provide some general guidance but not in the same way your DN could. Do believe that although insulin can be a nuisance, it can and does control blood sugar fairly well when optimised so you can look forward to a more positive outlook with the right help.

James, so sorry to hear you are feeling like this, hope you managed to get in touch with someone who can help.

Lets be honest - T1DM is a NIGHTMARE and doesn't ever give you a break BUT we are lucky in that we have the possibility of controlling our symptoms and improving things. I know its hard and I have struggled and continue to struggle to control my diabetes. Also, sometimes we cant come up with a reason for highs or lows but the important thing is to keep going and things will get better.

Hope you start to feel a bit better soon, feel free to get in touch :)
