Had an interesting day. Got up, checked blood sugar and it was 135. That’s the highest it’s been in the morning for a LONG time.
\nChecked site, things looked a bit red (change was due tomorrow). Didn’t give it a lot of thought. <\/p>\n
Went to the gym at 6:00 — walked for 42.5 minutes, went through the shower, hot tub, etc. normal gym routine. <\/p>\n
Since I had not eaten, I expected a dip in blood sugar. However, it was still 135. Thought that’s weird. <\/p>\n
Got to school, ate breakfast. Did a bolus, changed insulin as was almost out. Checked blood sugar two hours later and it was 205. <\/p>\n
Huh, must be bad insulin, so I shot in 3 units of humalog (nasty stuff — it itched! but I have tons of it in pen insulin). Check blood sugar a half an hour later, and was still at 205 — well, it must not be the insulin. <\/p>\n
Pulled off the site, put a new one on, checked the blood sugar 30 minutes later, and I’m down to 152. <\/p>\n
The reason it is a milestone, is that I diagnosed and solved a problem without panicking and without requesting help, even from the insulin pumpers list! <\/p>\n
That’s also the first 200+ I’ve had in weeks. <\/p>\n
I was a bit worried, as I was afraid I’d go back to having blood sugars in the 120-180 range, rather than the rather nice 90-140 range I’ve been seeing lately, but my BS went right back where it should — around 90 at lunch and around 90 at dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
