I report a week from Monday, and have a few doctor’s appointments and other things I need to do to be ready.
\n
\nThe good news, is that my blood sugar was much more stable this summer than last. I’m coming up on my 1 month pump aniversary, it’s about two weeks away. I only napped a few days, and those are days that for some reason I just couldn’t sleep. Last summer, I ended up napping almost every day, I’m sure from an elevated blood sugar.
\n
\nTomorrow is my gynecologist appointment. I’ll get a depo shot — speaking of which, it’s interesting because I’ve seen where it is not indicated for diabetes and I’ve seen where it is.
\n
\nFrankly it works for me. Before depo (and I’ve been on it over 10 years), I had very painful cycles, and problems with mood swings. Also problems with acne. Now, about a week before my shot is due I break out — which is a good reminder. I don’t notice an elevated blood sugar after the shot, but sure did after a cortsone shot.
\n
\nI suspect a pound or two of my weight and a bit of insulin resistance might be caused by the shots, but the benefits outweight the disadvantages.
\n
\nEspecially since I’m getting that “age”, they tell me I won’t even know when I go into menopause, which will be nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
