Trying to overcome the unexplained 2 day high...

Okay, new site change, new vial of insulin, and added exercise this a.m. Lets see if I cant over come these unexplained consistant highs of the last few days......
I went to bed last night at 100, woke up at 189, took 6 units of insulin, 1 hour later I am 179 had a cup of coffee 1 hour later I am 239 took 6 more units, exercised for 30 minutes, am 139 we'll see what happens....

Real World...

You would think with outall the buffet lines from the cruise ship tempting me, I would be running great numbers but no such luck. I think I am going for the site change AND the insulin vial change. I'll rule out what I can........

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

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
