Type one and depressed

Did you get scales that also got codes to convert to carbs?

Sorry you feeling down.

So if you are now weighing and calculating then it has to be insulin....

Sorry your feeling down @Tylers73

Your last thread received 2 pages of replies so people are very understanding and can relate to what your going through, with regards to your bg levels start with some basal testing and work up from there. Best wishes.

Hey. Emotions can have a massive effect on sugars so even if youre eating well your levels can still be skewed. Depression and low mood use up a lot of energy and if you are weepy with it this can raise your bg. If you feel youre eating well i would concentrate on trying to manage the low moods.

Great that you got the scales If you know you're counting your carbs ok and then your levels are still high, then I'd think your insulin might need adjusting. Is it the eating that pushes you up? That is, are you ok before the meal but then spike high after?

Regarding responses, please don't be down. People are kind here and will reply, but sometimes can't always reply straightaway.

I hope you're having a better week.

Take care X

Hows things going??

Are you finding the scales handy? Don't think you will have to use them all the time. I confess I even weighed timatos, lettuce, peppers etc. then you get used to how many tomatos, 1/2 a pepper is.
I am so precise that I was OTT... And yes it can get you down. Most people don't weigh salad foods......that was me being overly tight on perfection. My scales for majority of time are in the cupboard now!!

Diabetes can make you feel different... Not the same as everybody else in your life... And the "why me's" can hit you at odd times!! I hope that you aren't feeling this way... But if you are... Then boy, you're not the only one that thinks like this...
I'm probably totally wrong, but just wanting you to know that we all understand and so wish you well....
