I've been dealing with very high sugars for a while now, and yesterday I got a holter monitor put on and got it off today. I didn't have a good sleep with it on. And I woke up this morning with my sugars in the 20's. And this frustrates me because I am trying so hard to get my diabetes under...

Ok, so I went to see my NP today. And he said there was a lot wrong with my body that the hospital didn't tell me about. He said my liver enzymes were elevated but that could've possibly been a fatty liver. He also said that my body was in acidic state and was burning fat but thankfully I was...

I finally got home from the hospital after spending ten days in there. I was on I.V fluids for 8 days. And had many tests done including the gastric emptying study which found that I have a mild form of gastroparesis. Ok, so does anyone struggle with finding what foods to eat which make it...

So I finally got a sort of diagnosis. I have gastroparesis, and it's "borderline" So basically my food isn't digesting as fast as it's supposed too. So when the food finally reaches my stomach that's when the sugars spike. At 4 in the morning my blood sugar was 18.0 and when the nurse finally...

Just asked for the doctor that is taking care of me while I'm here to test me for LADA because apparently they didn't even start the tests. Had to get 20 units of humalog and 24 units of tresiba. As my blood sugar was 23.6 and the nurse was trying to figure out what could have made my sugar...

I went into hospital two days ago because I was feeling really ill. I was shaky and my heart was racy. Checked my blood sugar at home, it was 28.0 and went to the hospital, it had dropped to 20.9 but my heart rate was 188. and my blood pressure was 157/101 They rushed me in and hooked me up to...

took two sugar pills because I felt like my sugar was low. I did not have my blood sugar monitor with me and we just finished swimming. So I'm home now and I took my blood sugar and it was only 15.1 And I know that sugar pills are supposed to spike your sugar but I only went up a little. I...

Would not eating after getting insulin help make it lower? I know this is a stupid question, but it's a legit one. Because I can't get my sugars lower than 16 even though I have a lot of insulin. And what do you do when your diabetes specialist is out of town and your NP is on vacation for the...

27.4 before lunch. Felt sick at breakfast. Been overly tired these past couple days that I can't really function. Heart racy. Might test later and update. Not one doctor or diabetes specialist to call. One is off for the rest of the month and I won't get in to see him till August 6 and my...

Had to change my insulin doses for the seventh time this month. Still pretty high blood sugars. I said to my diabetes specialist, "I'm losing hope." I saw my nurse practitioner too today. Apparently he does not want to test me for type 1.5 diabetes cause it might cost money to send it away...
