Hi there....
Hope I've posted in the right place here. I was diagnosed type 1 diabetic 4 years ago and used this forum considerably back then, so much so it played a massive part in saving me really. Following a low carb high fat diet and the advice on here, I was able after a year or so to manage my condition without any meds, which suggests type 2 perhaps.
Now, I was getting along just fine with it all, until recently.
I have encountered a very emotionally upsetting event in my life, in the form of someone I cared so much for has just turned his back on me, with no trace. Won't even return my text messages....yes the dreaded reliance on text for communication in relationships has a lot to answer for! Now, I know this isn't a relationship counselling site (although any thoughts or messages of hope in such situations would be really helpful!) but I'm mostly concerned with the effect it's having on my blood sugar. The whole saga has basically put me into an uncontrollable spin of anxiety where I can think of nothing else and my health is suffering.
Although my blood sugar is not in the teens or anything, it's just constantly raised and my morning bs is elevated and takes ages to go down. I am mostly concerned with the possibility that I have deteriorated and my control has been ruined. When I actually feel like eating, I'm eating well, but I can just feel that my body is struggling in so many ways, vision, pain, tingling, tummy trouble and of course the raised bs. Am so concerned about all of this. I feel broken again after trying so hard to fix myself before and worried I can't get through this time. Will this pass, is it just temporary? I am so worried...
Thank you for reading,
Jo
