They put me on a new insulin that doesnt work well for me but they arent ready to accept that and want me to keep being on itCan you contact your doctor or diabetes nurse for help with adjusting your doses?
I’m was like how can blood sugar level be above 300? Then I realise Americans use the weird system. Here our average range is technically 4.9-7.9 to be in range. (I have no idea what that is in your weird way sorry)Blood sugars have been above 300 for a month now. I have exams in 2 days and only could study 10% of the syllabus cause i kept falling asleep or couldnt focus due to high blood sugars and the stress from it. It just seems like a blind end. I dont know where to go from here. Disappearing right now would be easier.
I hope you're joking. You have only one life, and difficulties come and go. There's nothing more important than your life, just remember that.Disappearing right now would be easier.
Im sorry for the emotional dump. Im just on a rollercoaster of emotions right now. Unfortunately im in medical school and these exams are a huge deal and they cant be retaken. The college administration also wouldnt agree on it. I havent talked to them about it but they have never made an exception for anyone.first, calm down, because your stress increases your bg. Secondly, exams can always be retaken, but even if you can't get an education, life won't end there, and you can live happily ever after without a university. What kind of insulin do you use? Perhaps it is necessary to adjust the dose or change the time interval between eating and injecting insulin, and not change the drug. If you still need another insulin, and your doctor ignores it, write a complaint

I appreciate your reply. But i study in asia and the medical schools here take a huge amount of fee from you plus my mother is a single parent which adds to my stress cause i cant have her spending all that money on me over and over if i keep failingI have the same issue as you I'm on my second trial which is also the last trial but when I'm at my worst I always tell myself one thing so what always think of the worst that could happen let's say you fail your exam so sit again the next year and try harder that's the worst that could happen see all you have to do to relieve the stress is to do that
Also i would be lying if i said i havent been depressed and had self harming thoughts. Its weird cause i never thought id end up being a victim to stuff i preach against. Ive honestly lost so much weight in the past few months from my blood sugars acting up. I have to wear a mask to hide how skinny my face is. And im the only person in my class who wears a mask which is pretty embarrassing in itselfI hope you're joking. You have only one life, and difficulties come and go.

everything is ok, it happens to everyone. Not for the first and not for the last (unfortunately) timeIm sorry for the emotional dump.
your doctor doesn't want to prescribe you a pump with such terrible bg jumps? Sometimes it seemed to me that my insulin wasn't working either, but not enough to double the dose right away...But in the past month my insulin needs have doubled and ive been upping the dose slightly but each time it looks like i need more. Im already injecting a huge dose and i honestly dont feel comfortable adding more units because my response to insulin do be unpredictable. Sometimes the same dose drops me and sometimes it doesnt touch my blood glucose at all. (My meals and carbs all stay the same)
what does the administration of your college do if someone gets sick during exams? Maybe you should ask the doctor for a sick leave? Or insist on hospitalization? if you get expelled, can you recover for the same course next year?Unfortunately im in medical school and these exams are a huge deal and they cant be retaken. The college administration also wouldnt agree on it. I havent talked to them about it but they have never made an exception for anyone.
you've been coping with this **** for 11 years, you can handle it nowP.S i should probably mention im 22 years old and ive been diabetic since i was 11
Its just weird because everything was going fine but one day i woke up and all my ratios were suddenly so different.
Sorry for the rant.
You shouldn't be embarrassed about a mask, you wear it to protect your self I haven't been without one since covid I do hope you get some help from your diabetes team xAlso i would be lying if i said i havent been depressed and had self harming thoughts.
