CGM struggle

CGM was the best thing to happen to me in last two years and the worst thing at the same time because my boyfriend was afraid to even touch me or hug me and was depressed for the whole time, so fuck you diabetes or maybe fuck you my dear because you can´t handle me with my illness that will never go away. this was my rant thank you byebye

The hardest part of type 1?

The unpredictability. You know what I'm talking about. I'm cruising along just fine, my carb:insulin ratio is great. My correction ratio works great. Then suddenly, my sugars start dropping 3 hours after meals, when my insulin is supposed to be finished acting. And I'm not just talking it dropped one or two, I mean hardcore crashing from 10 mmol/l to full blown hypo in a matter of minutes. Yesterday, after a day of hypoing and rebounding (gotta love that) all over the place, I ended up on 27 mmol/l right before dinner. That works wonders on your appetite... I took my usual correction dose, and my bolus for dinner. 2 hours later, I was still sitting at 20. All I could think was how that just couldn't be right, but I sure as hell after a day of hypos wasn't going to take more insulin. An hour later, I crashed. Thanks, pancreas, for being the useless twat that you are.
