Absent!!!!

Hi all

I don't know what's wrong with me. I have been depressed and practically starving myself. I know I need to come out of this feeling. I know I will. so fed up if insulin injections everyday and having diabetes for so long.

Hi Sk45 ,

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling depressed. Have you talked about it with your doctor? Has he/she suggested anything to help?

For doing insulin shots.... Yes, sometimes it can be hard, but I know that I have to do it. I've been a type 1 diabetic since I was 2 weeks old as an infant. I'm going to be 37 years old in May. I'm also what some doctors call brittle because I drop very fast when I'm running low (I never know if I am low since I don't feel the lows). I use the DEXCOM CGM system to help me. The system has been a help with catching the lows.

Really?

[Sk45 in reply to gphilip]

What's really ???? lol

[gphilip in reply to Sk45]

Really means, I am amazed as there is simple remedies available for this condition...either see an ayurvedic doctor or do some home remedies like take one tea spoon full cinnamon (दालचीनी) powder and mix it in small quantity natural honey (I know you are diabetic, but don't fear to mix it with honey, nothing will happen) and take it occasionally in small quantity, it will increase your taste...secondly take one tea spoon Basil (तुलसी) leaves juice and mix it with little salt (should taste salty) and drink it in the morning for few days, which will increase your hunger...and try to increase your immunity by taking "Indukaantam kashayam" tablets etc. or whatever prescribed by your doctor...

Thank you gphilip

Must try those !!!

[gphilip in reply to Sk45]

Hope you will reply the progress so that any suggestions can be made...normally nobody comes backs after getting cured... and not needed too...

[Sk45 in reply to gphilip]

You know the sad part here in my country is that Every 4 months I see a doctor its always a different one. the doctors do not encourage u too to try traditional r remedies. So telling them that u do is a no no . 😂

No reason to "practically starve" yourself. Do you test regularly after food? What can affect one persons blood sugars can be fine for someone else.

Have you tried reducing carbohydrates? That can help reduction of meds. A good friend of mine hardly eats carbs and has been able to stop insulin in day time and reduce amount for night time. More reliant on tablets than insulin now. However she did have help initially from a dietitian to work out what best for HER and what foods spike her blood sugars. She also tested a lot to give information to dietician.

Did your friend have type 2?

[Bevvy in reply to Activity2004]

Yes sorry I didn't make it clearer. She has type 2.

[Sk45 in reply to Bevvy]

Thanks . I will see my doctor next month and tell her my issues.

Hopefully she can advise me.
