Hey all:
Looking for some advice on managing bg control in the classroom.
I'm in the middle of my first year of full-time teaching, and from the very start, my bg levels started to rise dramatically as soon as the first set of students piled in. By three months in, I started getting muddled thinking, dehydration, visual impairment and readings consistently in the 21+ range by the last lessons of the afternoon. I check throughout the day and administer corrective doses between lessons, but no amount of corrective insulin seems to do a thing. This morning, for example, it was 15.3 at ten, and 14.7 100 minutes and 3 units later. Occasionally, of course, just to be hilarious, it crashes out on me instead (then all the students want my glucose tablets, the swine...)
I can't see any other explanation but a hypersensitivity to adrenaline. Is that possible? Should I consider a pump? Take up meditation?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or thoughts.
