Fear of insulin
Hi y’all idk what to do and I was wondering if anyone had advice. I do see a therapist about my anxiety but she knows very little about diabetes so it isn’t much help around that area but I’ve always had a fear of taking insulin.
When I was first diagnosed 3 years ago it was fine, but since then I’ve had a couple bad lows from taking too much fast acting so I’ve mainly been sticking to a lower carb diet (I’m still in my honeymoon phase).
I’ve always been ok with my long acting but a few weeks ago I hit a vein and went LOW while on a walk with my dog and have been having mini anxiety attacks about taking it since.
It wasn’t the first time I hit a vein but it’s been sending me spiraling since then and I don’t have anyone in my life that understands what I’m going through so I wondering if anyone else could relate.
I do that my fast acting if my bg goes high enough, but it had a track record of my taking less than what I need and plummeting down so fast.
