I\u2019ve been losing weight, eating less carbs, and as a result I need less insulin.<\/p>\n
In fact, my basal insulin was down to 4.5 units a day and I was only bolusing for food more than 10 carbs and the random correction.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t losing weight this week so I turned off almost all the basal insulin \u2014 I\u2019m doing .05 units a day so I can keep the Omnipod running.<\/p>\n
That seemed to help, until Friday happened.<\/p>\n
Friday I was working in my new office (new to me), and got cold. \u00a0Also probably should have drank a shake. \u00a0Even though I got a sweatshirt, I was approaching 90 with a down arrow after 11:30.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve gone low before when I got cold, didn\u2019t know that could happen when I didn\u2019t have insulin on board. \u00a0I literally didn\u2019t have any insulin in my body.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I drank a Profile shake and walked around for a bit, which is counter intuitive but it solves the being cold problem. \u00a0That seemed to fix it but I still want an answer from my endo.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure she understands the question, so I keep pushing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
