Hi all! I am was diagnosed T2 back in November of 2019. I started this journey on 1.5 mL of Trulicity and 10 mg of Januvia a day.
I have worked really hard since then and I have shed 60 lbs, started eating better, and working out. My A1C was 5.4 at my most recent doctor’s visit in June. I was having hypoglycemia on the amount of meds I was on, so I was weaned off of Trulicity and down to 5 mg of Januvia a day. My blood sugar was great and I was on track to getting off of all my diabetes meds, my doctor said.
Fast-forward to me returning to work as a middle school principal. My blood sugar after a 0 carb meal will be 150-190! I hadn’t been that high since I was diagnosed. I treated myself to three spoonfuls of whipped cream after a very stressful day the other day and my blood sugar two hours later was 220. I cried and cried. The stress of my job is back in full and it feels like it is ruining whatever progress I had made towards a healthier lifestyle. Managing stress right now in the education field is near impossible, as I’m sure you all may know.
I went today to pick up my new Trulicity shots to ween myself back on it at full dose. I cried for 30 minutes in the parking lot and I feel like a total failure.
Any support from this community would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
