I was first diagnosed with T2 in December 2015, but my doctor has recently changed the dia. I was immediately put on insulin therapy and a low dose of metformin. The endo I was sent to put me on a 20/20/20 dose of humalog at every meal (regardless of carb count or meal contents) and 80 units of Toujeo. After gaining 30+ pounds from excess insulin and then the endo pushing a protein shake diet down my throat, I went to another doctor that put me on a sliding scale of humalog based on my BG at the time of meals and changed me to 30 units of Tresiba at night and 2000 mg of metformin a day. Some days I use no insulin at all, some days I'm using astronomical amounts. Along with all my injections (sometimes 6 or 7 a day) I'm on a high dose of Zoloft for anxiety, simvastatin for cholesterol, vitamin supplements, about to go on estrogen supplements because I can't have a normal cycle for some ungodly reason, and a high blood pressure medication. I'm 26 and cannot get below 220 pounds (after I gained all the weight from the previous doctor). I was gestationally diabetic which my OB ignored and I'm pretty sure it's really messed me up in terms of health. I am exhausted all the time, depressed out of my mind, and I can't seem to keep a low blood sugar no matter what I eat, drink, how much I exercise, or how much medication I pump into my body. I just want to give up. I don't want to take the medications anymore, I don't want to diet anymore, and my daughter mimics me doing my injections even though I've tried my best to hide it from her. It breaks my heart. Is there any way to deal with the constant fatigue and weak feeling I get all the time? My doctor has no idea how to combat the fatigue without more medication. I've done sleep studies, taken melatonin, changed my sleeping habits, and nothing helps. I feel like maybe if I don't feel tired all the time maybe I would not feel so hopeless about my diabetes.
