Depressive episodes + insulin
I (25F) was diagnosed last year (symptomatic) and I struggle with insulin most times (as I have with other meds - I also have Crohn’s). I will be going through a tough time and it’s hard to do anything - including taking meds + insulin.
It will result in me going super high bc of no insulin and then feeling terrible bc of the high blood sugar and then being too exhausted to give myself insulin and a vicious cycle. The worst is how often I get yeast infections bc of the highs which makes life harder and gets me more down (though not the reason I keep falling into depression). Hypos are a little bit more urgent in my head and body so I won’t delay that much.
I’ve really pushed myself in my hardest moments to give myself insulin bc I wanna feel better and improve my overall health + reduce diabetes related complications but more often than not I struggle.
Does my one have any tips on how to be on top of my insulin during a depressive episode? Feel it happening again.
