A little trip to the clinic...

Here's an interesting story for you if you're....interested.
So a couple of months back I was living in a situation, where I was fed a high sugar diet and had little control over it;think host family who were determinded to kill me through cake and caramelized carrots...
I was doing a ton of insulin, but not checking my levels, because I'm a *bad* diabetic.
So when I arrived home again, I was testing every hour or two, doing a lot of insulin, and basically despatately trying to get my levels dow… Continue

Why why why do I do it to myself?

Why I ask, do I insist on eating too much sugar? I didn't NEED those sweets, but my levels went a little low and I ended up eating too many. My levels are now high.
WHY?
Am I the only person who does this?! I went over to my boyfriends house today and I always just end up eating more there. It really bothers me. No amount of insulin seems to be able to cope with the ridiculous amount of sugar I ate.
Yes I'm angry at myself. I don't know why I don't just listen to those voices in my head?

ARRRRRGGHHH!

I need to vent. I don't care if I'm just venting it to the empty internet, I am beyond frustrated.


I didn;t control my diabetes fr months. I ignored it, pretended it wasn;t there. Stuck the jab in, shot some insulin in and that was it. Needless to say I was very sick.

Yes my A1C was 9.5 last time i got tested, like last month. I'm working on bringing it down from 11 also, and it's getting there! I used to have a pump but with my A1C being as high as it is, they took me off of it--my choice. I'm more in control with shots..but hey, that's just me! i do miss my minimed though}:
Good luck at the University that does sound very exciting!! i'd do anything to get out of this high school of minee :p what are you planning on majoring?
