Last week ended up being a rough week. Not completely sure why, but I do know that the sleep doctor’s appointment had a lot to do with it.
Sunday, on the way back from Monroe, I got tired. I was depressed because not only did the dog not run well, but one person, who I have a lot of respect for, was nasty about it. So I started the trip a bit discouraged. And it was a LONG drive. I haven’t been on a driving trip by myself for over a year, and this one was longer than that one. I didn’t realize what a problem that would be.
Anyway, about 3 hours out, I got tired and resorted to my father’s solution to tired when driving which is eating. At least I started with protein.
Ended up using 58 units that day.
The next day was okay, but as the doctor’s appointment got closer, eating got harder, and ended up with 3 days in a row at 50 units of insulin! The day of the appointment itself, I used 62 units.
One thing I’ve found is that if my blood sugar is under control and I can keep my insulin usage down to around 40 units, I currently lose weight. Any useage over 45 units results in weight gain, and fast weight gain at that. Very frustrating.
So I’m re-losing weight again.
The good news, is this week should be calm. Nothing scheduled.
