2 am pump alarming...glucose meter alarming....no sleeping

Well I had one of those evenings , my twins turned 9 and my wife has thrown an absolutely memorable birthday sleepover for my kids. The food was a combination of finger foods that I could only estimate as to what their carb content was. I was taking all kinds of insulin and thought that I would probably be in the low range during the night.......wrong....I awoke to beeping and couldn't figure out what it was. My pump was beeping because of a low volume and low battery alert. My cgms was beeping because I was 280.....niiiicce. I have a feeling that those things were probably beeping at me for hours as far out of whack that I was.
You would think that after almost 45 years of this thing, that I would have it figured out. Oh well, I guess this gives me time to do all the blog posting that I have been meaning to do..
Keep Going.......................Peace, Bob

virusssneesss.......

I cant believe i got duped. I fell for the UPS email virus. I had ordered some medical supplies overnighted, and the next day, I happened to get an email allegedly from UPS saying that my delivery was not deliverable. I clicked on it and right as I did, I thought uh oh. I unplugged the internet cable, but alas, too late. A lot of bogus (but pretty darn convincing,microsoft screens kept coming up telling me I had 26 different viruses and my Trend Micro Pc cillin somehow became disabled too. It gummed up my whole system and is currently in the shop being de-bugged and new virus software is being installed. I am not so happy with PCcillin for even letting it in...Oh well, live and learn....dont open any UPS emails is all i can tell you.
I would not have fallen for it had I not been waiting and needing the CGMS sensors to be there that day......

Keep going........Peace, Bob

anutha day of pretty darn good.....

Hey hey, things are going well with my glucose levels. Why...I couldn't tell you. I'm doing what I normally do.
I would love to say that my expert application of indepth knowledge of the insulin versus carbohydrates ratio as it relates to exercise and stress management on the 12th of May in a leap year creates a known level of expectation of the know formula for diabetes success.....but I cant.
As always....I just keep trying to figure out the variables and tweak my life around them..

I just keep juggling the chainsaws....................

Keep Going.....Peace. Bob

well...I kept my eye out for a low yesterday

It would have been nice had I seen it. I absolutely crashed and burned at work yesterday. One of those stare at the computer screen, put your feet up on the desk,and fade in and out of consciousness. I did not feel it, and somehow I even did not hear my cgms buzzing at me. Thank goodness for my brother who shoved gatorade down my throat till I recovered.
Now I get to be on guard for highs.....man, the saga continues.
High Low ping pong ......and its a game I don't even want to play. An unwilling participant who begrudgingly has to learn the rules.....again.

You would think I could get it right after 44 years. Ah the Joys of Diabetes!!!!

What in the world..........

One of those mornings..... I woke up low, ate a banana bolused for the carbs went to work,had a small muffin bolused, for the next two hours my bloodsugar climbed to 250 as I bolused at least 3 times to overcome it. Sometimes I just shake my head and realize that to my body, today may not be like yesterday and the day before. Even though it seems like it....oh well, finally down to where I should be now as I stay on guard for lows.....

Keep going......Peace, Bob

CGMS wakin me up......

The good news is that my CGMS (continual glucose monitoring system) alarms when my blood sugar goes low...The bad news is that my CGMS alarms when I go low and I am sleeping...(good and bad) Yes, I am awake at 3a.m. and posting because I had an alarm. The good news is that I got up and treated it. Now to see if bed is an option again this morn.....
Wishing you more......Peace,, Bob
