Thank goodness it isn’t insulin, though I have been able to get the Requip from the local pharmacy, and the local pharmacy copay.

Medco’s website is showing that Requip has been ordered on September 7, and will be shipped next week. 

It even shows the right quantity and the right strength.  WILD!

Postprandial numbers are definately better — adjusting the carb ratio has helped.  We’ll see even more by lunch.

I’m running a tad high though, which is normal as I haven’t gotten as much sleep this week as I was.  Funny how having a husband around keeps me up later.

Two mornings in a row, after breakfast, my blood sugar was between 200-210, so I dropped my carb ratio for breakfast only.

Sure wish this would get a little more stable!  But at least I’m good at tweaking boluses.

I just called the sleep doctor, they didn’t get the letter I mailed last week, but is has been a holiday weekend.

I asked her just to mail me a 90 day script for Requip, and we’ll see what happens fro there.

I’ve switched from Depo Prevero intermuscular formula to the subQ version so I can self- inject.  I mailed in the script on Friday, and it showed up on the status today.

But that is not where the games begin … I’ve been trying to get Requip mail order, and I don’t know if the problem is with the doctor’s office or with Medco.  I got my first 60 day dose from the local pharmacy, and then went to the website, and requested that Medco contact my doctor and get a script for 90 days.

The nurse swears they did, and that it was supposed to ship.  Instead I got one of their letters saying that they didn’t receive fax from the doctor.  So I sent it to the doctor’s office in the hopes that they will fill in the form and fax the order in.  So far, it isn’t showing in the order status.

Even with my peaks in the low 200’s after meals today, I’m still at a lower insulin usage.  Not just from Tuesday two weeks ago, but my average too.

Though I am afraid I might be obsessing some.  I’ve had problems with that, but I do know if I can get my average TDD down to less than 40, I might start losing weight.

I checked my blood sugar 2 hours after and I’m at 101.  That makes me nervous seeing as how lunch is 45 mintues away.  I’ve just reducted all my corrections to 41.

I’m going to check again right before lunch, but my correction still seems to be working okay, not over kill at 40 units.

Though I am going to keep a close watch on everything — I know my insulin usage and resistance is higher on Monday than on Tuesday, etc.  I’m sure after the three day weekend it’s even a bit higher.

I am noticing though, that the longer the weekend, the more insulin I use.  I finally just bit the bullet yesterday morning and upped my temporary basal for a few hours by 10%.

I also got in an extra cario workout in the afternoon — and I might do that today, depends on how crazy school is.

However, my average TDD is still going down.  According to the 1800 rule, It’s getting time to adjust my corrections but I want to wait and see one in action before I do.

The best news is that my husband is coming home after being gone since a week ago Saturday.  Not sure when he will be in, but he said before school is out.  I got an email a few minutes ago, so it sounds like he was up and getting ready to leave.  Or maybe just play a round of internet poker.
