| been feeling sick lately
hi i'm new to the site, but i'm 22 and have had type 1 since i was 12.
lately i had a couple of bad lows that happened for no reason as a far as i could tell. (i had just eaten). it's made me feel paranoid and anxious all the time, and i think i've let my blood sugar become higher because i'm so afraid of it going low, or having a big drop.
whenever i see it in the 100s now, i worry about how fast i'm going to drop, and i know i shouldn't be doing that.
i also get nervous about food now and feeling pressured to eat has made me nauseous and just not hungry.
i told my doctor about the nausea and he's having me checked for some sort of nerve damage but he says it could also be stress. the only real stress i've had lately has been just worrying about this, though.
he also told me i should probably get on the insulin pump. does having a pump improve wildly unpredictable blood sugars? and does it prevent you from going low?
i almost got one in high school but i never followed through, i can't remember why now. it seemed like a bigger hassle, but the doctor says that's what everyone says but then they love it when they go on it.
what should i do?  |
