[QUOTE="Circuspony, post: 2216961, member: 432241"] In my first appointment with the diabetes team they showed me how to inject and told me I'd soon feel better.... except I'd been feeling fine running with BG levels of 30+ (the diagnosis was a shock) I felt AWFUL when I started on insulin and a complete failure. Bloods all over the place, exhausted, couldn't sleep. Then I had a consultants appointment and he basically said your body has been addicted to sugar and this is now a detox. Not our fault obviously - we did nothing wrong to get T1 - but it's a huge shock to our bodies to work with normal BG levels again. Only forums like this help you realise that we've all struggled at times and it does get better. Hang on in there and be kind to yourself. It's a big adjustment and most people around you are completely clueless about what you're going through [/QUOTE]
