Numbers

I was put on Insulin about a month ago. It wasn't until about two weeks ago that I was trained on how to increase my dosage. My specialist said she thought it would take about two weeks for me to find the right amount of insulin each night. Well, it has been two weeks and a few days after I started increasing my dose my numbers went wacky. They sky rocketed and have not come down since. This is due to my seasonal allergies. I can't believe how much my readings can change. I understand why this is happening, however here is the hard part. When I see my numbers running high it makes me not want to eat, and when I do eat i try not to eat any carbs. This is throwing off the nutrition values of my meals. At this moment I feel like a prisoner. It honestly makes me want go and get some donuts and just have a sugar fest. Sometimes my mind goes into this mode of "well if I can't control it anyway then why should I try?" I know that this is the completley wrong way of thinking, but I just can't help it. We will see what happens tomorrow and if numbers don't start to go down that it will be off to the doctor I go.
