I'm joining you!Well today was a reality check. After a couple good days of control/time in range, I thought I'd finally gotten to grips with my insulin doses. Cut to today, 3 hypos and ending the night with a lovely hyper. This diabetes malarky sure knows how to put you well and truly back in your place. Here's to tomorrow being a new day! Hope you've all had a better time of it today!
Good luck with your endo visit!Must be the day for it. I was low most of yesterday evening too then up all night trying to get the delayed hyper back in target without over treating. “Perfect” now that I’m off to the Endo later today.
T1D sure throws a curveball sometimes.
Oh absolutely. I thought my diabetes had been mocking me the past few days, honestly.Must be the day for it. I was low most of yesterday evening too then up all night trying to get the delayed hyper back in target without over treating. “Perfect” now that I’m off to the Endo later today.
T1D sure throws a curveball sometimes.
For me, it was gentle walking that caused sudden crashes in blood glucose, and surprise hypos at a blood glucose of 4.5. None of which have been picked up in my libre data after the fact (and alarms)!I'm joining you!
I already cut back my basal and still have to watch real close to prevent going low.
In my case it's my period, which sometimes does this and sometimes doesn't, but this time the effect is more than usual.
Just what I need when I'm about to go sailing for 5 days.
This means more activity so a reduced insulin need, but reducing Tresiba won't make much of a difference this quick. (The basal I've reduced is the Levemir but that one's down to zero now, I only use it to top up my Tresiba if needed.)
The sailing will be work as well, not leisure.
The two of us, skipper and I, will be responsible for the sailing with about 18 adults with learning disabilities and likely two people without disabilities. The weather forecast is awful too. Strong winds, thunder, hail, gusts of up to 38 knots windspeed possible.
So there's absolutely no room for hypos during sailing.
Good luck with your endo visit!
And by all means make a screenshot of @SherwoodT1 and my own post as proof that it's global (between us we cover 3 countries and both hemispheres) hypo day today, nothing to do with the way you deal with your diabetes!
Sounds like you're smashing it to me! Well done in the test results!Thank you both for the support!
Visit to Endo went pretty well actually all tests came back good. Even my naughty Cholesterol was in check.
Though I did get the usual spiel that I should aim for a higher HbA1c of 6.5 and my control is alittle too tight with a HbA1c of 6.1! Lol.
We have two cats that are lovely and I think my fungal toe nail infection is getting better !I have been wanting a Dobie again. I have always rescued them in the past, but they are rare where I am at. We have not seen one that has needed a home. Two came up Sunday on a neighboring island because someone was moving and gave them to someone else to rehome and she already has 4 large dogs. She had several people asking about getting one but she preferred them to go to the same house. So I immediately spoke up that I would love both.
So they were shipped to us tonight, arriving at midnight. Our two we already had got along great with them, but first we tried to sleep in different rooms since it was the first night and so late to be safe, but our dog Sidney was not happy and was up and down up and down. The prewarned sensitive Dobie was whining half the night. So we caved and put them all together. And of course River who looks to be half their size then figures they were brought here to play with her. So we had to get her to settle down too. Then Sydney threw up a couple of times because of being stressed, common for her when she is. When I attempted to go to sleep again, the Dobie kept whining and nudging me to be petted. We let her out a couple of times but that wasn't it. Now she is finally settling down at 6 am and I was to get up at 7 am for an appliance repair.
Who needs sleep anyways? But certainly not as easy to skip as it was when I was younger. I have a feeling me and hubby will be snapping at each other all day. He usually sleeps well every night and doesn't do well without. I am more used to lack of adequate sleep, but not to no sleep at all.
But I have my Dobie(s) and it was looking pretty poor to being able to get one here. They definitely are two pals, they don't like to be out of sight of each other at all.
“Tree of life?”
So sorry about your broken ribs, I’ve heard they are not fun, hope they heal up quickly for you.“Tree of life?”
I’ve been investigating pre biblical creation myths.. some sort of tree seems to spout after an “earth diver” to “hold up the sky,” regardless of region the story came from..?
Currently have 3 broken ribs after a mishap rescuing a friend..
A lot of time on my hands. Nice ink though…
