Diabetes Burn Out
A group for diabetics who have had this disease for numerous years, who have had enough and are in need of support. This group is for anyone who is becoming burnt out from having to deal with the day to day struggles of living with diabetes.
baRef00t22 posted a blog postJust another day, in the life
its been a while since I have been on here, between nursing school and working at disney and the full time job of taking care of my diabetes i can hardly find the time to talk with my friends and family much less blog about how I feel, haha! I have just been really struggling lately with it. I just wish it was possible to take a "vacation" from it just for a week or two ya know? But that's not really possible unless you feel like dealing with the consequences which can take a week or two to…See More
Natalie ._c- commented on baRef00t22's blog post 'Tried....and failed AGAIN'"Jenny, I have always dealt with periodic urges to stop taking insulin and ignore BGs. It landed me in the hospital in a coma last year. Entirely not worth it! The CGM DOES help you pay attention to BGs, but only if you LOOK at it. My resolution,…"
Jenny commented on baRef00t22's blog post 'Tried....and failed AGAIN'"Hey! Just wanted to say hi and to tell you I've been there and I'm still there and to send you a little encouragement. I hope your therapy is helping and that you get a good 1:1 therapist who knows what they're doing.
I know, seeing…"
Natalie ._c- commented on baRef00t22's blog post 'Tried....and failed AGAIN'"I am REALLY hoping this program works for you. You are so young and so beautiful and so full of promise -- I don't want to see your life blighted by this stupid eating disorder! Please keep us posted on how you are doing! :-)"
baRef00t22 commented on baRef00t22's blog post 'Tried....and failed AGAIN'"Thank you all for your input I really appreciate it. And yes being in nursing school and having had diabetes since I was 6 (now 23) I know exactly what I am doing to myself and what I need to do to get things under control, but its hard....I…"
smitlisa commented on baRef00t22's blog post 'Tried....and failed AGAIN'"I am a pump user also and I experience a lot of water weight as well. My last endo put me on water pills but warned me not to take to much only when needed. So I basically fill up with water again about 20 pounds like you take water pills for 2-3…"
Natalie ._c- commented on baRef00t22's blog post 'Tried....and failed AGAIN'"Gerri is right. There is a whole lot of biochemical stuff that has to adjust when you get your insulin doses right and your BG comes down, and you just have to wait it out. And yes, your endo should be keeping track of your electrolytes, which are…"
Theresa commented on baRef00t22's blog post 'Tried....and failed AGAIN'"I do not have any advise on water weight but just had to tell you that YOU are too important to not take care of yourself. Insulin is your lifeline - you can NOT stop taking insulin. Look for a new doctor and keep trying to explain to them what…"
Gerri commented on baRef00t22's blog post 'Tried....and failed AGAIN'"Some water weight gain is typical after weight loss, but not 20 lbs. Are you sure it's water? After DKA, I was puffy. This was due to my potassium/sodium levels being out of balance from high BG. Once BG was more normal, the water retention was…"
rickyd7 commented on baRef00t22's blog post 'Tried....and failed AGAIN'"WOW, it stinks, but insulin is our lifeline! Trust me at times I want to smash my medtronics pump against the wall, but then, back to shots again, lol. I am addicted to checking my sugar, I most likely do it, like5-7 times a day, but I have to with…"
rickyd7 commented on baRef00t22's blog post 'Tried....and failed AGAIN'"I dont know about water weight at all, but what I might be able to share with you, is maybe go into a steam room for a bit, I might be totally wrong, but I am guessing that maybe sweating the water out?
Have no clue?

SO I was doing really well for about a month taking all my insulin, eating right, exercising almost everyday. Only problem is I went from a size 2 to I don't even know because I put on 20 pounds of water weight in a matter of 2 weeks and then it just kept coming until all my clothes were tight and I was having trouble breathing some of the time. My doctor and nutritionist just kept telling me the water would stop coming on and that my body would eventually let some of it go but I felt awful and… Continue
