[QUOTE="kelp84, post: 206501, member: 22335"] Hi! I apologise now! As I realise this is intensely negative, but I really feel the need to vent, and have no other outlet, as don't like people feeling sorry for me so dont like to moan to family and friends! I think you guys will probably understand all of this! I run high all the time, I have been diabetic for about 17 years! Really wouldnt know it seeing as I am proper USELESS at it! Last Sat I went up to 36, which is so so high! I cannot control it! I test for ketones all the time on those sticks but none ever show up! I feel thirsty, dry mouthed, moody, tired, fed up haha! All I know because I am high! I have been advised not to chase my levels with insulin, which is what I used to do to stop myself flying around! So I have stopped and now I am just high all the time! I do so so many bloodtests, I am 26 and can barely feel my finger tips, (I think I have done 120 in the last 14 days!) I am not a negative person, and I realise that Diabetes is in my hands, and I can control it! I am going on a DAFNE course (thank god!) in Aug to try to get better at it, I am not ALWAYS high like this, it seems to go in fits and spurts, but it is as if I only manage to stay in a normal range when I concentrate 100% on it, eating at the same times, writing everything down blah blah then it is good! Soon as I take my eye off the ball it goes hectic again, is everyone who is in control really rigid with what they do? I thought you could still live a varied life with it? I dunno, guess I am feeling moany just because I am high (it tends to have that affect haha!!!!) I need to know what I am all the time, as I worry about going low in meetings, or when driving, or even when I am out with friends, I always start spouting rubbish when I am low, and everyone thinks I am a fool :-) well least I think they do, and I get horrible sweat attacks and go all clammy which totally ruins my hair every time (vein I know but a pain nonetheless!) It always makes me late as I always seem to go low when I really could do with not going low- when I am in a rush!! I also used to have a really nice litte lennovo injections, which was perfect as it was small, it stopped working and they dont make them anymore so I have had to go back to the old style Novo pens! and I dont like them one bit! I always get symptoms which is a blessing ( and a curse at the moment as I am always suffering from one symptom or another ;-) ) I am a very lucky girl, apart from my diabetes I am healthy, and to be honest I don't really have anything to moan about, I suppose I am just a little frustrated, and could really use some other peoples experiences, I don't have any diabetic friends, and feel like I could really use advice from people who understand all my melodramatic warblings! Thanks for listening :-) xx [/QUOTE]
