“What in the world was that…..??..!!!!”

Monday, March 23rd, 2009



Yesterday afternoon, I had dinner, not a lot of carbs. My blood sugars were normal. A little while after dinner, my bs was 132…ok, no problem. I checked again about an hour later and it was 138…Ok I took a couple of units and thought all was fine. I had even done about 30 minutes yardwork after dinner.

When I woke up this morning…...427….....Whoa,,,,wait a minute. something is wrong. I recheck…..419. Umm….no dessert, nothing to eat after dinner….WTHeck…. I wound up taking an injection in my leg and watched closely. Over the next 7 hours, I have taken an additional 8 units in addition to the 12 I took by needle. I am currently 95 and have been solid at 85-95 for the last 2 hours.

After 45 years of this …...I am still knocked for a loop sometimes when I least expect it. I felt a little green yesterday but have not really been sick…..I feel good today….so I have no idea where it came from.

I changed my pump site this a.m. and did notice the old site (about 2 days) did have some blood in the canula, but nothing that would make you think it would lead to a 427…..(the only 427 I want to see is in an old American Muscle car)

Sometimes you just shake your head and keep going…....there arent a lot of other good choices.

So if you are frustrated with the D and trying to get things under control…...and feeling aggravated, dont feel alone….It absolutely happens to all of us…....and sometimes you have no idea why. Just keep fighting the good fight….

Keep Going…........................Peace, Bob

Big Mac and Fries….What was I thinking?….no, seriously

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Ok, so yesterday after 20 plus units of insulin, I was reminded why I don’t and havent eaten a Big Mac and fries for probably over 5 years. I think I figured out this 57 million people with Pre-diabetes thing…Wow

One of those, I’m low I better eat big kinda brain sequences..A brain starving for sugar deciding what I should eat….whoops. At least I am consistent, I usually get the same wrong result under those circumstances.   Holy cow, will ya look at that glucose meter…lt looks like a straight line…...UP!

If only my investments followed the same trajectory…
