I have been diabetic for 16 years.
I love your mood and I respect you, when you are sad or angry with the illness, reread this post and remember how sure you were that you could handle everything.
It's not easy (mentally and practically) and for me, for many years, the situation has been "joyfully out of control"
Just yesterday I cried (really!) watching that for the first time in my sick life I had a 36 hour streak on target. 100% green for 36 hours. I repeat, I cried. Maybe I understood. Maybe...
The leap in quality after years to 60% was due to:
- microinfusor connected to the CGM (a revolution compared to pens)
- having had the opportunity to share my experience as a diabetic with a group of other diabetics. Something like Alcoholics Anonymous but much more like Fightclub :-D
- having installed a VM with NightScout to always have an eye on blood sugar levels and trends EVERYWHERE: phone, clock, desktop widget, alarm clock, fridge :-D
- count the CHO with German precision (and analyze the history with respect to pre/post blood sugar levels) and do the boluses STRICTLY 15 minutes before the meal. I hate hate hate living like this but IT WORKS
Tieni duro. Non ti disunire
