[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1766724, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=45466]@Catsymoo[/USER] unfortunately you are having to deal with a huge amount of stress on top of your type 1, this will have a negative impact on your control as stress hormones will increase insulin resistance. I think you doing everything you can and are still finding that the negative impact of the stress in your life is making control difficult. Firstly just try and take it easy, so one day at a time, your boss needs to understand what stress you are under and make reasonable allowances for you. Call up your DSN first thing explain what's going on, you need a day to day game plan to help minimise the stress and impact of your control on your mental health, things will get better but the yo yo effect of high/normal bg control will only get better once you get some support and a plan on how to deal with this, ask for a CGM or to loan a Libre, something to help you see patterns and speed/direction of your bg levels, running high isn't healthy for you mentally as it will impact on your anxiety levels so a Libre would be ideal to help you see a better picture of your carb/bolus effect, you all need to gain confidence in maintaining regular 'normal' levels too as your hypo anxiety will be helped hugely by using the Libre, you have a good case to get one from your trust so try this route with your DSN.
