dexcom extremely off in the first 24 hours

i put my dexcom on around 7 pm last night. i got an alert 11 am this morning while driving that i was 70 going down. i didn’t feel awful and was about to get food, so decided to just keep an eye on it. i was also drinking an ensure and thought it was gonna go up. but then it was 66 going down, so i decided to test. it came back at 107, and that got me super confused…i logged and calibrated it in the app, hoping that would help. i feel a tad shaky, just anxious and overwhelmed from life stressors.

could it be a pressure low from driving? it’s now 116 and steady. super weird…

i gave into behaviors tonight and i feel a lot of shame about it…

yesterday my psychiatrist agreed with me that i’m having symptoms of low blood sugar due to my ed. she recommended a continuous glucose meter (cgm) to track and monitor my symptoms. my mom thinks i don’t need it and that my sugar is fine (readings came back fine but symptoms were not improving). we got into a fight about it last night.

today i picked it up and had to use her card (she pays for my meds). it was $125, so not cheap. i told her and she started yelling at me, how i don’t need it, it’s another thing, etc. i already felt guilty about having chick fil a and ice cream in the same day. so i ended up engaging in exercising behaviors…i felt a lot of shame afterwards. but in the moment, i got such an adrenaline rush.

i’m gonna talk to my dietitian about it tomorrow. but i just wish my mom was more understanding about it…

using a cgm for tracking blood sugar patterns: any advice?

my psychiatrist recommended a cgm due to my unstable blood sugar patterns due to my eating disorder (specifically hypoglycemia). she’s not sure she can prescribe it so she asked my primary care dr to do it. has anyone else done this before? any advice on how to do this? my psychiatrist told me to go to my primary dr for this cause she’s never prescribed one before. nervous but hopeful it’ll give me answers…thanks in advance!! 🩷

my brain fires up when things aren’t clear and i HATE it

i’m supposed to be meeting with a therapist monday at 4 pm. originally it was 12 pm wednesday but we moved it cause my mental health has been super shitty. she texted me to confirm. i’ve been super upset about it all evening cause the portal still says the old time when i know i should trust her and know that i’m seeing her monday at 4 pm. my brain is saying, it’s not gonna be till wednesday. honey no it will be monday you’re gonna be fine. i WISH my mind would give me a break but thankfully talking to my mom helped! also deleted the portal app so i stop checking 😌

i’m so overwhelmed with everything

i’m just really struggling to get intake in. i got bronchitis from my allergies and asthma and i think it’s going away now thankfully. but food just doesn’t sound appealing. it’s a chore getting it in and i’m never hungry. i also feel so bloated all the time and am getting cramps from soda again. i was also just diagnosed with autism and i’ve had so many meltdowns yesterday due to random shit and i’m so over it…today is a little better thankfully but i had to go clothing shopping for my brother’s graduation and i absolutely hated looking at my body in the mirror, seeing things not fitting, seeing how bloated i was, etc. it’s all too much…

pit vs a seat: what is better for going alone?

i got my own seat for mohegan sun on the floor. but literally right after i got it, my mom got an email from her work where they offered me a pit ticket for cheaper…however, i don’t know how i feel standing all the time, especially with my health. the ticket was $260, i was offered pit for $150. i got insurance for the ticket so i should be able to get reimbursed if i choose the pit. any thoughts, especially if i’m going alone? thanks in advance!

first period was way to early and second one was way too late: anyone else experience this?

my first period was 3-5 days early. this one was 4 days late (came on the 5th late day in the morning). i told my dietitian and she said that’s definitely very late for a period. and my back acne is bad which has to do with my hormones.

i’m gonna follow up with my obgyn soon (i see her in june) but i just wanna know if anyone has dealt with a similar experience. it’s scaring me a bit and i just wanna know i’m not alone. my therapist is also away so that doesn’t help at all…thank you 🩷
