I am having one of those months. I am sick and freakin tired of being Diabetic. I am sick of my blood sugar swings. I am sick of being so sensitive to insulin that taking my daughter to the doctor by myself warranted eating glucose tablets, I am sick of glucose tablets, because I had to carry her. Its stupid, I hate it. I am so sick of low blood sugars that its driving me insane. I have tweaked my t:slim pump settings and I have got them all pretty darn nailed down, but then you throw in a side of life and WHAM I get hit with my Dexcom alarming, you are dropping, you are low, you are REALLY LOW 55!! Glucose tablets, juice boxes, crackers, all those extra calories that I really didnt plan on eating that day, well there goes the waistline. So during meal times I barely eat anything for the most part because if I did eat a normal sized meal I would gain weight because of all those extra calories for lows.
I think I might be having a Dexcom info overload. Watching my bg spike after every meal is really starting to drive me nuts. I watch it go up and then come down and sometimes the down part takes to long so I get mad and then I override my pump correction and then I go low. JEESH. Well if I dont override it I will just sit higher than I want to be after a meal but then I cause a low no. matter. what! If I just didnt have to eat my blood sugars would be perfect all day everyday, but then I would die from starvation. Maybe I do need to start eating super low carb, but that food is so gosh darn boring, I may die from boredom and not only that, but family gatherings and going out to eat become torture for my will power.
Where is that darn cure!
I do know that I could not survive without my Dexcom and t:slim insulin pump. Shots and long acting insulin are just not my friends.
