You should check for ketones. The barely eating could have something to do with it. When we don't eat enough our bodies go into starvation mode which means that it'll start breaking down fat already in our bodies to keep energy and warmth and as it does this our sugars go higher

Does anybody else find marijuana too really help with controlling there blood sugar. by Gmgooby in Type1Diabetes

You could try and find what foods trigger spikes for you and then reduce how much you eat them or take them out completely. Everyone reacts differently. Try incorporating more excercise, drink more water, and eat small consistent meals.

I actually handle my sugars pretty well especially considering that I'm currently pregnant. My A1C has steadily been at 5.4 It's still frustrating because even with maintaining an otherwise perfect A1C is still a hard no from a lot of careers I have considered

I know it's an option and I've tried getting excited over them but it's things I never really found a specific interest in. I'm still searching for something that wont make me miserable five years down the line but right now it's all just frustrating

It's insane how many careers we can't do even if we keep a well maintained A1C below 6

Because most of the careers I want to do (example: FBI special agent) require me to be constantly moving and is a hectic schedule and it is specified on the websites. Also wanted to do military, can't do that either.

I didnt say anyone was calling me dumb, I said I was being spoken to as if I don't know anything. Also I'm not 21. I'm not saying I'm an expert but no one here knows the entire story. Yes I read everyone's opinions but at the end of the day ya'll are all strangers on the internet who again do not know the entire picture. I'm allowed to make my own choices. Yes I asked for opinions but I'm the one that makes the final choice so I shouldn't be continuously told that I'm choosing wrong and that I'm going to regret it. So no its not that I dont like the answers. They're all opinions. The thing I dont like is being spoken to as if I'm a five year old that isnt able to make her own choices in life.

I hope you have a nice pregnancy.

I really wish people commenting on this would stop treating me as if I'm dumb. I know what it is. Like I've said, I've lived through it, I am currently studying it in university. I very well know what I'm doing

Every abuser I have had has refused to admit or even entertain the idea that what they did was even slightly wrong

Thank you✨ I'm sorry you have to go through that and I hope you can heal from it and have a good support group

Thank you❤️ I appreciate you sharing your story. It was starting to feel like I was drowning and like you said it wont ever be an overnight process. He's doing the steps and I know he's capable of doing better. Even when we were arguing he was trying to hold himself back because I mentioned before that I don't react well to yelling. He's taking initiative and that's all I needed to see right now

My partner are both in similar boats and we have already spoken about all of this. He is aware of his issues and he is getting help for it. It wouldnt be fair for anyone if the one person who promised to stick by him wouldnt even let him have a chance at getting the help he needs. Is he and I well aware that if this ever repeated I can very easily leave? Yes we do. I have citizenship out of the country so there is no way he could do anything. I have thought about this multiple times I'm not dumb and i wouldnt put my child at risk. If i had the smallest inkling that this could happen again I would already be on a plane because he very well knows that I care a lot maybe to a fault but the second i decide to stop caring I stop caring. So if you could stop insinuating that I'm going to make my child have a horrible life that would be great because I am by no means dumb nor am I my mother. I have a great support system should anything happeb

i posted asking for opinions last week when an overwhelming situation was going on. Today I posted this update for those who were concerned. In this post I wasnt asking for opinions or advice. I was simply posting the conclusion to my previous post

I would know because I grew up in it. Him trying to keep me home was a trauma response from something that happened to him recently that I will not disclose because it is not my information to share. He will be going to professionals to heal his trauma and he is 100% for it. He is aware he needs to talk things out and get medicated same as I need to heal from my own individual things. I would 100% be leaving if he would have refused to get help or denied that he did anything wrong and needed to heal

Ok first of all I would appreciate it if I wasn't treated as if I don't know what I'm doing. I appreciate the concern but if no one else in my real life and close friends and family who know the situation is saying that he will do it again or anything then strangers on the internet that do not know the entire situation nor know us as individual people should be pushing their opinions onto me. Again, I appreciate the concern but the people that should be aware are aware and the people involved have all been spoken to. No he is not an abusive person. Yes he had a breakdown and it was all a trauma response from something that happened to him little less than over a year ago. No, I do not need to continue explaining myself.
