Hiya,
I was diagnosed as Type 1 at the age of 6, I am now 47 years old and have been relatively lucky that I have been well controlled and have minimal complications.
I work from home now for our small business and I find I "forget" to inject and test when I wake despite having two reminders on my phone. My blood sugars are constantly high and its starting to feel like I am losing the battle
I have been waking with burning feet and its scared the living hell out of me. I have spoken to my DSN and they want me to test regularly and detail food intake, exercise, mood etc to see if we can get to the bottom of it.
Do any of you relate to this feeling? Just a feeling of apathy that seems to have sneaked up on me! I just cant seem to shake myself and get motivated to wise up! My poor brain is a fog and I'm getting very confused. But that could be my age How to you motivate yourself after so many years of being a pin cushion? I'd love to know how others deal with this. Thanks in advance
It c/b an idea to see your GP in case you are developing another auto immune condition or that you are experiencing forgetfulness due to stress. I have had type 1 for 56 years now and got a little "lax"with control when I developed an under active thyroid after the birth of my 2nd child. Everything fine now. Worth checking out. Could also be that you need extra support of some sort---running a business from home is not easy & I expect that the business is your daily priority. Take care. xx
