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

High ...Low Ping Pong

What a strange day yesterday was. I was at my kids Football Jamboree all day out in the sun and rain and not eating the best of food. My bloodsugar was up and down like a like a cursor on a heart monitor. I would go incredibly low, eat something to fix it, go high, take insulin, go low later...and the cycle continued. ...at least 3 times. Bad food, heat, rain,...and trying to count carbs on food that was difficult to figure...while sitting on the sidelines.
I didn't do so well but I always strive to do better.....I just keep going.
Wishing you "well" 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 the.........?

Wow, the last 24 hours has been one of those wierde-o days. My insulin usage is up by about 4 fold and I am still running high numbers. I don't feel sick, I don't feel stressed, and my carb counts have not been any different really. I will continue to keep checking and adjusting, but this is one of those days that I just don't get it....

I may change vials of insulin but my last site was with insulin from a different vial. It was all fine until yesterday afternoon when everything went nuts.....
I will exercise when I get home, maybe that will help straighten this thing out.

I guess it is just one of those strange, non sense making, days. Ahhh the joy of diabetes.....

Keep going , Peace Bob
