Hi guys, this is my first post in this subreddit! A bit of background, my doctor still hasn't found out what type of diabetes/mody I have (got diagnosed after my birthday last January, turned 22 btw) but she said that I needed insulin shots. Currently I am taking galvus and metformine twice a day after meals, and having pre breakfast (12 units) and pre dinner (8) shots of Novomix 30. I still havent got a good streak of 140 blood sugar levels for a month now even after going back to my old insulin shots. I went from Novomix then Tresiba after I was able to maintain my sugar at a constant <120 pre meals daily. However, with pure Basal insulin my sugar rocketed to ~250 pre dinner so I told her I wanted to go back to my old meds and now here I am. Oops, that wasn't a bit, I'm sorry.
With my sugar being unstable this days, I was back to my gloomy and grumpy self. I hate it so much but I can't stop feeling sad and mad everytime I prick myself, check my sugar and then see it a high values. It sucks taking all that meds to no avail. Good thing my next appojntment with my doctor is next week.
So fast forward today, I am at my cousins wedding and I thought, fuck this; I've never been drunk in my life and it's been a bad month so let's do this. Buuuut after one bottle, I got to the point where it felt like I took 5 bottles a year ago. So here I am, at my room feeling down, checking the TIL subreddit when the thought of checking a diabetes subreddit came to mind. Really, really hoping to see some stories (will check further tomorrow) and I was glad to see memes and stories of people going past this stage. I am so happy for you guys! I guess I'll be frequenting this page from now on.
So the point of this post? None, really; but putting some of my struggles into words made me realize how desperate I am for someone to tell me that it gets better. I hope someone here takes the time to read whatever my tipsy self wrote above albeit not proofread. I hope he went through the same shit and got past it. I hope he is kind enough to share something :)
TL;DR still dont know what type I am, taking insulin shots twice daily. Tried a bottle of beer, felt like I took 5 when I didn't have diabetes yet. Won't recommend unless you have a really low tolerance and can get drunk easily. But not entirely sure as to what are the consequences, so I'm gonna say don't xD
