Over thinking/worrying about t1

[dmoroccco]

Ive had D since i was 7 and am now 20 so I've been dealing and living with it for 13 years. Its never ben easy illl tel you that. But now that I'm growing older its scaring me how much supplies costs and just the expense of just being a diabetic. its totallyfreaking me out. on the other hand I've been having lots of hypos lately. Its been the mornings and nights, i have no clue why. the other morning i woke up and checked ny BG and was around 56, then went to go upstairs for food soon realizing i couldn't for some reason fell my legs and ended up taking a soil down some wooden stairs to a tile floor. it took about 45 mins for me to get BG leveled out and by then i had forgotten my whole morning and how i ended up falling. shits so scary and I'm honestly a tough guy and its just been getting to hard lately

Best that you do some basal testing then work from there to get on top of your hypo's, have a read of the following as it explains how to do basal tests in different time frames:

Appreciate your hypo experience the other morning has upset and scared you somewhat, hypo's are a pain and they can catch you out when you least expect them, but you should really keep some fast-acting glucose by your bed so if you do wake and your low then you can treat it straight away without getting out of bed.

Hi. I assume you aren't in the UK as supplies are free on the NHS in the UK. Are you on the Basal/Bolus regime and what insulins? As Noblehead says you ened to ensure your Basal level is right and then try to get the Bolus right. Perhaps you have already done this? Is you diet sensibly low-carb to keep the insulin shots down which also reduces blood sugar swings?
