Message: <blockquote data-quote="Samael_Coughlan" data-source="post: 1206453" data-attributes="member: 315430">Hi azure.On the first one, it's been complicated. My psych, my endocrinologist and my diabetes community nurse have never communicated as much with each other as much as they should. The one who knows about the most about the struggle is my pharmacist. See, my psych is cautious about lowering my dose because a) I'm a bit manic when I'm psychotic and now's not the best time for happy-go-lucky me to be making dumb decisions and b) I'll lose a tonne of weight, and I don't have that much to lose as is. On the thyroid thing, I could get more invasive treatment which would destroy most of my thyroid function and the endocrinologist reckons that would make it even harder for me to manage myself and my diabetes. The last meeting I had with the diabetes team advised me to trial an overhaul of my diet and exercise routine. However, it was very strict and regular and between studying, working and prepping for the bub, I just couldn't comply to it.In terms of what my levels usually are, I more graze on snacks throughout the day than eat meals (they cay I could never be a gynaecologist because I can't help but nibble on anything in front of me). I used to be able to keep my levels between 9 to 14 for most of the day but recently it's been all over the place without much rhyme or reason. Earlier this week I had a reading of 31 but just this morning I woke up with a scary 0.8, I hadn't hadn't had crashes that low that unprovoked since I was in my early teens.By how some of my hallucinations are manifesting too, I think the stress might be getting to me and I don't know if that's been making it worse. With the diabetes, schizophrenia and hyperthyroidism, my body has proven to suck in all things insulin, dopamine and thyroxine related. Don't know how the added adrenaline and cortisol effects them.</blockquote>
