Thanks for all the support! B....
I'm just wondering if anybody else has different types of anxiety attacks, or if it's the same thing every time? My most common anxiety attacks consist of me feeling "unsettled" and then starting to...
It was Bob Dylan, with the Foo Fighters as special guests in Minneapolis. (I'm a big Foo Fighters fan....and I think my husband may be the biggest Foo Fighters fan.) B....
mrs c. I've never had the sensation when I wasn't experiencing anxiety, but I definitely think it would be possible. Anxiety does so many strange things to our bodies - during and after the height of...
Hi guys! I'm back, and it went great!! I had a really good time, and didn't feel too sick while I was gone. I had no anxiety attacks either! I can't say I was worry-free, but it never turned into...
Hi YoungLady The fact that you are on here really says so much about how much you care for him and want to be there for him. That's fantastic! The best thing that my husband does re: my anxiety is...
Thanks Michelle! You did so well when you went on your trip, and I think you were dealing with quite a bit more than I am this weekend. You're a great inspiration! B....
I'll definitely let you know. Thanks for the encouragement guys! B....
Thanks guys! You're great! Update is, I'm definitely sick this morning, but so far only "cold symptoms" - mainly a sore throat - no aches/pains/exhaustion, which are the things that would spark my...
Hi All, So tomorrow I leave on a short road-trip to the States (I'm in Canada) for some shopping and a concert with my husband and my brother. Travelling causes me some anxiety (particularly ever...
I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. And no, it's not always cold here! /community/emoticons/smile.gif B....
It depends. Sometimes it's only a few minutes, other times it's longer. Generally it's only as long as my anxiety lasts (or shorter). Typically that would be a couple of hours max. But if I was...
Absolutely. I have had this numerous times. It doesn't generally happen if the anxiety comes on slowly - but it happens almost every time it comes on quickly. So it was interesting that, when I...
Ditto re: Mooney123's post. Getting sick is like a phobia for me (namely vomiting). If my stomach is upset I'm almost guaranteed to have anxiety. I even get anxiety if I'm around someone else who's...
I've had no ill effects. I like it! B....
I should add something to my previous post - I do split my Levemir between morning and evening. A lot of people don't have to, but I find it works much better for me. B....
Thanks Pin Cushion, I'm still not convinced I'm going to go on it. My doctor would like to see me do it, but isn't pressuring me too hard (my bloodsugars aren't that bad). My husband would also like...
I'm considering going on the Pump at some point in the not-too-distant future, and I wanted to ask a question of some women who are using the Pump. It sounds really stupid....but I want to know how...
I switched to Levemir from Lantis and have found my nighttime bloodsugars to be MUCH more stable. Might be worth talking to your doctor about .... B....
Hey Georgia, I find that I am very sensitive to caffeine. While decaf does have some caffeine in it, I'm usually OK with it. However, the last time I got what I thought was a decaf, I got very...
Absolutely. My anxiety goes hand in hand with stomach problems. From what I understand, that's pretty normal. You're not alone! B....
Don't worry sami-jo...you're not alone. I get the same thing. I have IBS as well as problems with anxiety, and when my anxiety flares up, my IBS almost certainly does too. They're very closely...
Caffeine is a huge anxiety trigger for me.....even hours after I"ve had caffeine. I have to stay away from it completely (except for a little bit of chocolate every now and then ;) ) - but that's...
Hey Claire, Is this the same as figuring out insulin/carb ratios so that you can know how to adjust your insulin to eat what you want? I've been doing that for a while already. Perhaps this is...
Hey I Will Conquer, I recognize you from the A/P forum. I'm 28 and have had Type 1 diabetes since I was 3. I'd be lying if I said everything was in total control and I was great....but the truth is...
I'm Bethany, I know it says "Regular Member" or something like that....but I've only been on here about a week - it's just that I've been on a lot since then.... I'm 28 and have diabetes (type 1),...
This is interesting, Bob, thanks. It's too bad that the insulin your endo suggested didn't work for you. I'm liking my Humalog/Levemir combination right now a lot more than I liked my old Regular/NPH...
Something similar happened to me not too long ago. I was at the eye doctor, and I had some drops put in my eyes that made my eyeballs kinda numb. Not a big deal right? Wrong. Back in the waiting room...
My biggest trigger is feeling sick or overtired.....especially if I feel nauseous. Even if I know I'm not "sick", but for some reason I'm just feeling "off" it can trigger anxiety for me. I focus on...
Hey Jaclyn, I have Type 1 too, and also tend to have problems with high bloodsugar (as opposed to low). In the short term it seems much easier to let it go high than low, but I've had diabetes for...
Georgia, I've almost never had an anxiety attack before it's dark. They always happen in the evening or at night for me. It really stinks b/c that's the time we're supposed to be relaxing....
My doctor refers to 37.5mg as a "baby dose". What you're saying, Harry, is interesting, though.....I've really found it to make a big difference. I had no anxiety attacks at all for a number of...
Thanks Jeannie! I'll check those out! B....
Hey Claire, The link's not working for me. B....
Thanks Michelle, I really hope you're right. This has me really freaked out. My anxiety is primarily caused by feeling "off". Feeling sick, dizzy, nauseous.....even really tired.....all of them can...
I've been on Effexor (just 37.5mg) for a few years now and would like to quit taking it eventually. My doctor swears up and down (and did before I got on it too) that if you do it very slowly you can...
Congrats Jeannie! That HA1C can be an emotional rollercoaster sometimes. I'm really happy for you! B....
Are there any other Type 1s out there who can give me some advice on how best to manage your bloodsugars when you get exercise? What are the best times of the day? How long after a meal/insulin? What...
Thanks for the feedback! I take Levemir twice a day too (morning and night) because it just wasn't lasting long enough for me if I didn't. I didn't realize it was so common to do that. I also found...
This is great! Thanks Phishbowl! By the way....how are you liking Levemir? I'm on it, and it's better than what I was on before, but my bloodsugar's still not as predictable as I'd like. B....
It was the bloodsugar comparability I was wondering about . I think the insulin doses are the same between the U.S. and Canada. I was in an Emergency Room in Hawaii last year because of what seemed...
Thanks Jeannie, Do you know if most people on here are from Canada or the U.S.? I'm from Canada. Also, I'm a female....I forgot to put that in my first post. B....
Hi There, I'm in my late 20's and have been diabetic for almost 25 years now. While I don't have to deal with some of the "new diabetes" issues that a lot of people are dealing with, I am dealing...
