[QUOTE="Carlyh210, post: 2332912, member: 528072"] [COLOR=#ff0080]Hi all, Just looking for a little advice. My dad passed away recently and my world has collapsed. I have never felt so low. We were sooo close. His funeral was on Monday and everyday has just seemed like a whirlwind. Shortly after he passed away I got told it was type 1 diabetes i had (i was awaiting test results to confirm) Now I have been told what insulin to take how much and when, and i was taking it in the beginning. However, since my dad passed, recently i have just given up. I have 2 children and even getting them to school on a daily basis is a struggle. I dont want to eat and when i do i dont take my insulin. I had a check up last week and had blood sugar level of 21 and ketones of 2.4. Obviously the nurse told me to take my insulin and has called me everyday since checking. Now im finding myself lying to her about my levels and saying they are ok. I checked my levels just now and my meter says hi which obviously is because im not taking insulin, ketones are 1.9 so not as bad. I know what I’m doing is stupid, immature and pathetic but I just don’t seem to care about anything anymore and certainly not about my health. I am trying my best to look after my mum as much as i can aswell and im 40miles away from her. Im trying to care for my children just as i used to and do the housework, cooking, homework, etc my partner has a slipped disc and can’t do much at all so I’m also caring for him. Im trying to not show anyone how broken i am But I’m struggling to find any motivation at all to do anything. I’m in such a low place and don’t know where to turn. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
