[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1886455, member: 345386"] [USER=378206]@Catherine4188[/USER] - I'm not T1, and nor do I take insulin, but quite some years ago in my past, I developed an eating disorder, whilst attempting to grasp control of a seemingly out of control area of my life. It was a horrible, difficult and really destructive time of my life. I'll spare you the detail, but just wanted you to know I might empathise with some of themotions you are feeling right now, whilst you're on this particular rollercoaster. Thankfully, over time I recovered. It is sounding to me like you really, really want to do something about the predicament you are in, but life is conspiring against you yet again. If I were to make one suggestion, it would obviously be that you seek professional support in all of this, but if that is going to take longer than is ideal, maybe you could make a deal with yourself to give yourself some insulin each day, to keep yourself out of that very harmful range that you recognise. You could perhaps look on that as putting in some form of safety net? There is little doubt in my mind that your very high blood sugars will be contributing to the depth of your current mood. It is very, very hard. There are times in everyone's life when they need a bit more support than usual, and reading what you've written this is one of those times for you. I wish you all the very best, and please do stay in contact with us here. There will be so many rooting for you. [/QUOTE]
