Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hello , I will keep you in my prayers, I know how frustrating it can be, I have trouble keeping my daughters sugar levels. She is so up and down, and going through puberty isnt helping her much. Ive got a long road with her, So I will keep you in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 To me, sounds like you are stressed out and need to relax. The bodies response to stress (amd ilness, and also during a hypo) is to produce Adrenaline. This is part of the 'Fight or flight' reflex and causes the liver to break down its energy stores to release glucose into the bloodstream (as well and get you all hyped up, jittery, trembling etc). This is why blood sugar control is difficult when under stress, when ill and why sugars can 'bounce around' a bit after a hypo. It can be hard. You WANT the sugars down, but the best way to do it is not to worry about them so much. Main thing - keep an eye on blood ketones. What may also happen is that the sugars may crash, as the bodies energy stores are (eventually) depleted. Be aware of it - and ready for it. The most important thing is relax - thing are rarely as bad as our perception of them. If necessary talk to the school (or get somebody to do it for you), they can usually make some concesssions to help you. You may even find that there is not really a problem there anyway - it just seems that way. Go take a nice hot bath with some essential oils (such as lavender) to help relax, go out and do something you enjoy - get away from home and school for a day or 2. I have just been in this position, screaming arguements at work. Once I realised that the main cause was stress and arranged for 2 weeks leave (with pay - holiday) I quickly started to feel better (I don't start the leave until tonight either). The way for you to get your sugars down is to relax and let your body do it on its own, in its own time. Your worry over the sugars is part of what is putting them there to start with. > I spent Tuesday night in the hospital.

Prayer is my specialty! , don't give up on us or it, everyone of is in a point that needs a little consolation at some time or other. Just let us know what we can do. Prayers are on the way!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 , We all feel like that. It is normal. I remember being a non diabetic just like it was yesterday. It makes me depressed a lot of the time because of it. I just want to trow a pity party. The doctor gave me some anti depressant medicine and it really helps. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
