I’m not sure what happened, but watching TRENDS, all day, not just the individual numbers would have alerted me to what was going on.<\/p>\n
Here’s what happened, after several days of feeling bad, I realized that I had gotten the 3rd reading in a row of over 130 fasting in the morning. I called my pump trainer freaked out. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately I didn’t realize it wasn’t the 3rd reading in a row, it was more like a two week trend! I normally have fasting blood sugars in the 100-110 range, so having 7 days at over 130 is an issue.<\/p>\n
Then I started looking harder, and the trend was worse than I thought. No one I was feeling bad, my blood sugars were running 130-190 all day. To feel good, I need to have a range of 100-140. Occasional forays into 160-170 from miscalculations aren’t bad, but much more than that, and I start feeling like doggy doodoo.<\/p>\n
Well, I finally got it down to a normal reading last night — actually went a bit too far, and had to get up and treat a 77 reading. I grabbed some gummy bears and a diet coke and that did the trick, as I was 99 at 8:00 am.<\/p>\n
The good news, is I am seeing an endo on Monday.<\/p>\n
Pump trainer is guessing some type of illness, but I really don’t feel much worse than usual. Some muscle soreness from weight lifting, some stuffiness from pollen, and some heel pain from the heel spurs — oh and some carple tunnel pain.<\/p>\n
But I seem to be more sensitive to pain when the blood sugar is too high. Heck my whole life sucks then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
