So I am 23 and I’ll be 24 in July. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 6 years old and I don’t have any comorbidities currently. The one thing that my endocrinologist is worried about is my hypoglycemic unawareness. I understand how this can be worrisome, because for one, it’s dangerous. I am currently at 57 and dropping, while I type this message (I have already eaten applejacks, so my dexcom may not be responding quickly enough). I don’t feel my lows until I am in the low 40’s, the reason why my endocrine team recommended that I have the device. In November, I drove my self to the ER and by the time I was placed in my room, about 25 minutes later, give or take, my blood sugar was 23, my only symptom was a blank stare and tachycardia. I have 5 different basal rates throughout the day, ranging from 0.9-1.35 and my diet is very consistent, as in I’m very picky and will probably eat 2-3 meals a day, that are about 50 grams of carbohydrates. So, I just wanted to know from other diabetics, what scares your endocrine team the most?
