Not sure what the fuck I did but the arch on my left foot if killing me

[Adam]

had a really good day but now my ocd is ruining it. Trying to ignore it but it's still there (and yeah I know typing about it doesn't exactly help my "trying to ignore it" thing, but I just gotta get this out somewhere! )

[eris]

oh shit !

I have no idea why my blood sugar is so high ! it should be like 90 !


I didn;t eat anything since yesterday, a morning reading had no reason for being so high.

With it being juvenile diabetes, they say I am brittle sometimes ... 

[eris]

it's back down to 94 


still gotta take another shot though

You need to monitor that better eris.

[eris]

yes, Im very careful about my diabetes usually

that was a morning reading, it *should* be low. I didn't eat anything for like 10 hours.

That just happens to me, they say Im "brittle"

it's not really like the diabetes that old people get, Type 1 means my pancreas doesnt work at all and I cant produce my own insulin   


Scares the hell outta  me sometimes though, getting high readings like that FOR NO REASON .... makes me wonder what it'll be like when im 60

Has your doctor given you any advice other than "You're brittle, this will happen"?

Doesn't diabeetus make your feet fall off and stuff?

[eris]

Nope, Just that I need to count my carbs and take my insulin - and I do . There is only so much they can do. I take care of myself pretty good. Just happens 




and well I hope my feet don't fall off 

[RageBeoulve]

So that really CAN happen? I thought it was a myth.

Longterm diabetes-related damage to the circulatory system can result in gangrene which necessitates amputation. 

[eris]

yeah, you can lose your feet... go blind... die of kidney failure.

Not a fun thing to deal with. Ive got to take 5 shots, everyday - for the rest of my life

So that really CAN happen? I thought it was a myth. 

A friend of mine died from the combined effects of diabetes and hep c. While the hep c was still in the dormant phase the diabetes was rotting the soles of his feet and muscle inside. He had been clean off the dope 10 years when he died. When his kidney's shut down the build up of ammonia in his blood stream made him delirious and caused hallucinations.

Goddamn, dude. Diabetes is more dangerous than I thought.
