[QUOTE="Andriana.P, post: 1866314, member: 200782"] I have been a type 1 diabetic for 9 years now. I have always had a semi-good control with this past year having had my Hba1c in the 50s. However as I finished uni (end of May) and went to find a job which I am due to start in a week my blood sugar has gone out of control. I stopped eating any carbs whatsoever however my blood sugar still remains above 10 regardless of the amount of correction doses I give. I know I am not eating any carbs as I have studied nutrition, I have done a DAFNE course (following which I initially had brilliant BMs). I know I have become less active recently but the spike in blood glucose levels came later and now even exercise doesnt seem to help. I don't know if it is stress with moving to a new city and starting a new job or what it is but I can't seem to get my blood sugars in the single digits at all. As a result of the constant loading with insulin despite not eating carbs I have also put on weight. It has all become a viscous where I give more insulin which leads to putting on weight and needing even more insulin. And worse thing is how depressing it all is. Checking my blood sugars and despite all my efforts them showing up as 15mmol/L sometimes even higher. Having people close to me keep saying how they can see me putting on weight and need to lose it. My question is - has anyone else been in a similar situation where things just don't work out rationally at all, where despite all the insulin and carbs restriction their bloods sugars spike? And what did you end up doing, how did you get you BMs under control? Getting desperate over here... [/QUOTE]
