[QUOTE="Lynnzhealth, post: 2426588, member: 436056"] Goodness, we do sound like we're having the same issues. If I think my Libre is too low/high, I check with a finger prick. Yesterday, my a.m. BG was 8.8, so I dosed 5 of Tresiba (long-acting) and 6 of Humalog. Two hours later it was 4.2 (while I was walking the dog). Then this a.m. my BG was 8.8 again. I knew I was taking the dog for a walk, so I dosed 5 of Tresiba and 5.5 of Humalog. Same exact breakfast as yesterday. Two hours later, my BG was 11. I can't figure out why it does that. So, I did some heavy yardwork and came in and checked, and my BG was 3.1!!! It is slowly going up now. I find it takes longer to get the BG down than it does getting it up. And, I read an article, on here I think, that having the Bariatric surgery makes a difference in the way/speed food is digested. So that affects insulin/glucose. I seriously want my BG to stay within the target range - 5-10. Maybe I'm delusional. I'm bad about eating enough protein, but I am doing much better this week. I do like some salads, mostly Chicken Caesar. And, lately I've been having lightheaded spells when I get up from a chair. I just read a post about that on this site today. If I keep doing that I will have to go see my Doctor. If it's not one thing, it's another. T1D certainly keeps one on their toes. Some days after all the decisions, the ups and downs and the stress of everything, I just want to crawl in bed, pull the covers over my head and stay there. Alas, I can't because I have a dog and cat and they wouldn't allow it. With that, I better get moving here. It's great talking with someone who is experiencing the same issues. Have an awesome weekend. Stay safe and stay well. [/QUOTE]
