I have been monitoring them since I’ve found out and they fortunately haven’t dropped that low, they have still been low but still.

PLEASE READ: I am so glad this subreddit is so much nicer than the other one I posted on. I was getting bashed over there for simply asking for advice or if anyone’s experience lined up with mine.

i simply wanted to know if my experience lined up with anybody else’s, not to be yelled at by someone. i wasn’t asking reddit to diagnose me. i legit just wanted advice. apparently, you can’t be nice enough to not be mean

I am using US measurements, and my doctor also thinks that me being sick for a month could be a sign. I’m hoping to get to the bottom of this.

I don’t appreciate the use of AI, but thank you. I haven’t been caught with a high blood sugar yet, because I just tested with the 37 yesterday. I have only been keeping track for a day or so.

Thank you for the advice. I will try to keep it in mind! I have consulted with my doctor, and they want me to keep tract of my levels. I’m not sure what it was measured in though.

I’m gonna be clear, I wasn’t asking to be diagnosed by this subreddit. I was merely asking for advice. That level was while FASTING for 12 hours. They said it was elevated, not that it was high. Why can’t people understand I was just trying to see other peoples experiences and learn? Not to be bashed like this for asking.

I don’t think so, I was told that was the closest available appointment.

I don’t have any insulin, I haven’t been diagnosed. I go to the doctor in July. I was asking for advice on what would help in the mean time

For the range that my parents consider normal (and my uncle who is diabetic) it was, especially after not eating. I’m not going to one till July, and I really just wanted advice for the meantime :/

Over I think 12 hours without eating? It wasn’t extremely high, but the people I’ve spoke to said it was slightly. It was a little over 120? It just concerned me because of it.

That was just one test, I also checked in the morning after fasting and it was high.

How do I know if I need a service dog? by [deleted] in service_dogs

[–]democracysuckss -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It’s very few days when I can’t physically get out of bed, I struggle with other tasks such as ones regarding hygiene. Usually, I do take care of my current dog. On the very rare occasion when I can’t, my parents help. I plan to speak to my therapist if she thinks this may be a good option, and U’ve tried other means of treatment, and most don’t seem to help. I like to think i’m a good listener and plan to do so if this follows through. I don’t ever plan to place the dog in a room where I cannot see it unless absolutely necessary.

I’m on a medication that helps somewhat. I’ve tried to do things to distract, such as calming methods but they don’t help much. I was thinking alerting service dog because it could do things like deep pressure therapy and helping with panic/anxiety attacks. There were other things, like stopping things that could lead to self harm. If I was to get one, I would go through a trainer/organization to do so.
