Why is this happening

[Cosy]

Dont know what I expect anyone to do for me but I had been not bad controling my sugar levels for a few months - Type 2 - two years - but for the last couple of months I have gone mad.......I am eating all kinds of rubbish, sweet and savory it is like a craving, I am even scared to test by levels although I took the plung last week and they were 23... Why is this happening, has enyone else had this happen. I am due at the hospital at the end of December and really dont want to still be like this then. I know it is up to me to control mysel, but it is like an addiction at the moment. Sorry for the rant just so angry at myself. Any tips anyone ????

I know it's hard. But never mind the end of December - if you are getting readings of 23+ you must get to your doctor ASAP. Don't delay.

Hi,

I think you need to bear in mind as well that doctors arent there to shout or judge you in anyway there are there to help and advise you on how you can improve your control. Definitley tell them about what you are experiencing (Binges) etc and be honest as they may be able to help you with it. Throughout my diabetic "career" I have experienced feelings of depression/ lack of judgement etc caused by poor control so this may be a factor.

Also remember Diabetes is difficult to deal with so there is no shame in speaking to someone about it!

Thank you for getting back, I know doctors are there to advise and help it is just that I had been doing well. I will sort myself out I know but things do get you down at times. I know someone told me to get to doctors right away but that was really just a one of the 23 reading the highest after that is 12 and I know if I eat sensibly they go way down. Back to the drawing board and a bit more excersise time of year when lovely food is on the menu.............I will try and be good.
