There was a really heartwarming thread about burnout on the Diabetes Support Forum I post on, too. It was soooo nice to read about things that other people do that I sort of keep secret (like, when you know you've been bad, just not testing because you can't bear to see the reading!).
I'm becoming HUGELY frustrated with levels at the moment. I know intellectually I just need to keep hiking up my ratios, but I can't believe that in the course of just a couple of weeks, I would need to increase so much. Yesterday morning woke up at 5.7 (good). Had a coffee and a water and tested about 11am to see if I could finally eat something - 10.2. I had just been at my desk, so there was no way I could have had a hypo and rebound as I would definitely have felt it.
Got levels down before lunch. Had (admittedly delicious) lunch of salad leaves, a few baby beets, mozzarella, avocado and salami. (the only thing in there with ANY BLOODY CARBS is the beetroot). I also had a fruit salad which I didn't eat but thought I'd save incase I dropped down after lunch. I tested an hour later was was 15+. I just don't get it.
Eventually got down to 7.2 or something, shot 8 UNITS, waited an hour and ate an apple. An hour after that, I was 11.2. It is just MENTAL. The fruit salad got relegated to the work fridge.
I've had several days like this now, where I feel like I'm just playing catch up and doing a terrible job. I'm pretty confident that I'm not coming down with something, as I feel fine in myself, just guilty all the time. Last night I went to bed at 5.3 and woke at 8.2. That's despite having increased my levemir by 4 units. I had to take 2 units of novo just to stop the same rise that I had yesterday.
Anyway, sorry, I'm ranting
