I'm diabetic. Have been for about a year. Two maybe. Run over by a mac truck sounds right. Yeast infections sound right. Fever doesn't. I'd look into other possibilities for that.
I ate a plate of pasta last night. Not a big plate. A regular sized plate. Then pretty much passed out and woke up feeling awful. Anxious and hung over. I haven't eaten pasta lately, and this experience is sort of hitting me over the head with the reality of this disease. I am never going to be the same again. I am never going to be able to sit down to a regular old dinner of meatballs and spaghetti again.
I'm sorry I can't be more positive for you, but the truth is that diabetes sucks. There's no two ways around that. Funny thing is that while my mother is paying big time now she's in her seventies, she merrily ignored her diabetes and just upped her insulin when necessary while I was growing up. And she didn't appear to feel anywhere near as bad as I'm feeling.
Sorry, you caught me on a bad night.
