HELP!!
I have been a diabetic for over 23 years and was getting on very well
with doing just one injection a day. About 1-2 years ago the clinic
decided to change my routine. (Not quite sure why!) I was first put
on 2 injections a day and that didnt work, and now I’m on 4 a day. To
be honest its not really working and everyone is baffled!
My blood levels drop and raise SO quickly, I can eat the same thing
and not be stressed etc and my blood suger levels will so EXTREMELY
different.
To be honest I’m feeling very low about it all now. And cos Im not
well controlled my weight has gone up and Im fed up about that too. I
seem to have put on 2 stone in 2 years!
Any one out there got any suggestions. Please dont suggest to go back
one one injection a day as the clinic WONT do it! Also, sounds stupid
I know, but I hate syringes!! I think I have a Phobia!! The pen is
fine, but I cant even look at a syringe without breaking into a
sweat. Strange I know but there you go!
So please help.

Hey Kerri! Well, what kind of insulin are you on, when do you take
it, how often and when do you check your blood sugars, and when and
what do you eat? The 4 a day shots are really suppossed to help keep
better control, what is the clinic saying? There is sooo much that
can affect your blood sugar. And even the most regular poele have an
off day once in a while, but you sound like this is more than just
once in a while. Keep trying!
