Apparently flying makes me high af
The insulin i injected during and after the flight didnt do shit, needed a new pen to finally drop
Ketones at 0.5
Managed to get both down and mostly under control, but fuuck.
Caught me by surprise and was a little scary, I haven't been this high since my hospital release.
Okay so i was told by the nurses and doctors at diagnosis that my blood sugar would rise if i got anxious or stressed
However ive been observing the complete opposite in many many situations
Every time i get heated, stressed, anxious i drop hard
Arrow pointing down. These last few dats because im traveling for the first time and flying and stuff. Its been dropping to the point i dont need insulin for most meals
However took 5mg of diazepam earlier and now its stable. Same with last night, took diazepam then got stable. Yes im pricking my finger every time to confirm
So what the actual fuck???
Is thiw normal? Any precautions i should take? Rn im taking my insulin after i eat to avoid bad lows.
As title says, im getting exhausted with my family treating this shitty disease like its no big deal or srlsy overreacting and then accusing me that im the one overreacting when i lose my patience.
Like im recently diagnosed and still learning, but it feels like family is not wanting to learn with me.
Its either getting screamed at because im going low, and pressured to overcorrect instead of doing the 15-15 rule, or being treated like im being annoying if im eating something extremely fatty and with lots of protein making me have to weigh it.
Today i was weighing all the ingredients for a Francesinha (which is a Portuguese sandwich that's around 1500kcal per portion) i wanted to try to do an extended bolus and also see how my body reacts with this amount of fat.
As i was trying to calculate everything the packages of everything kept being taken away even tho i said several times to not touch them while i was doing what i needed to do. When i got irritated at the third time of my mum doing that i was bitched at because i was overreacting and why do so much math for a meal.
I feel like im genuinely at my limit and the only am kept together by my supportive partner x.x
UPDATE: I sat my mum down and had a serious talk with her because a friend asked her how i was doing, and she told him i was essentially being mean lately, so when he told me i pretty much lost it and told her she was making everything harder. That everything i did surrounding my diabetes was for my own survival, fucking up, specially with counting and administering insulin could hurt my health greatly or straight up kill me.
That no one is taking the time to think how im never going back to life i had. I don't have the luxury to be carefree about what i put in my body. This disease is full time management, even when it gets easier.
I told her i got to bed in fear one day and wont wake up because my sensor app didnt alert me. And funniest thing is that my sensor did exactly that hours later while I was hanging out with my friend
When one noticed on their phone that i was at 60 arrow pointing fully down Neither phones beeped at all. But my mums phone beeped. So when she got home again i told her mine didn't even alert me at all. I think that clicked for her, that and shes realising ppl loooove to opinion on my diabetes knowing nothing and seeing how i feel now.
She went to get me strips for my glucometer since I'm traveling soon. And pharmacist told her i should get on an insulin pump so dont need to use strips and prick myself at all... Like i have a cgm, we should always prick ourselves to verify oddities since its a delay and can hallucinate sometimes.
Also i dont have a pump because im recently diagnosed and once endo agrees im ready ill have to get on a waitlist for a class to teach me everything about it. You don't just decide to get on a pump, theres a protocol attached because they are entirely free/paid by the government.
It gets really annoying that ppl talk like they know anything. Another member of the family asked how i caught T1D Like???????
