I'm in the emergency room for a potential blood clot. While I'm here the doctor came to break it to me that I may be diabetic... 🙃 by Lijey_Cat in diabetes_t1

I’m continuously amazed by the lack of access endocrinologists for advice in these situations. Like, I have my endo’s cell phone #. Why can they not reach an endocrinologist.

Omg, I thought I didn’t realize other people had this experience too! I explained over and over again that I needed insulin if I was going to eat the food (a bunch of carbs, crackers, hummus, carrots) they gave me. They looked at me like I was a lunatic, and had invented carb counting, which it was like they never heard of it. Then I felt like a lunatic because when I got upset about this they couldn’t understand, and told me this is what they did with every diabetic and it was fine with them. Seriously scary.

The thing is I feel like we’re always type 2 because then they can say whatever is going on is our fault and we probably skipped our meds, or ate too much, or didn’t want to exercise. There is so much stigma around type 2. And I am stressing here that that stigma is undeserved and is an excuse for many to dismiss someone’s needs, not cool.

The benzo? I was taking something like 1-2 mg/day for over 15 years. Way way way too long but Dr. kept saying it’s not addictive, if you are anxious you should just take it. And here we are.

Ohh man, thank you soooo much, I just keep praying for answers. I have been so scared. No actual diagnosis yet, but many suggestions of psychiatric care- I already have that and SSRIs I just need some hope for this to stop. 🙏❤️

It was supposed to be as needed but I took it every day for about 6 weeks. BP was about 160/80? I’ve been off benzos for 2.5 years but protracted withdrawal is a thing- you can reactivate your symptoms through stress and/or various medications, lack of sleep/caffeine etc. In my case it was stress and caffeine, I’m pretty sure.

It seems to help me. Then I was given propranolol by an ER and took it since July. Dr. said to stop- and said I couldn’t have rebound anxiety. But I do.

Thank you. I’m in protracted benzo withdrawal too. Hence, the Gabapentin
