Day-by-Day. December 18, 2016

December is busy time of the year. We do have so many tickets to Lincoln Center. Today right now we back from Chamber Music concert in Starr Theater, Brandenburg Concertos by I.S.Bach. Yesterday, on Saturday, we went to Metropolitan Opera, to listen to the opera L'Arour De Loin , and day before it was Friday in Metropolitan Opera, Nabucco by Verdi with legendary Placido Domingo in title role. So, too many concerts, too busy time.
      This activities effected the way I take insulin. Lastly I increased dose of insulin, started to take four shots a day 80 units each. But with my very busy live to take shot three times daily too complicated. On Friday we returned from  Met Opera after midnight. I took third shot, and went to bed. I do not know why, but all Saturday day I slept, all day long. I woke up early in the morning, took blood sugar reading, took insulin shot, meal, and went back to bed. I woke up after 3 pm, time to get ready to leave the home to go back to Metropolitan Opera. So, I took second shot, and we go out. After we returned, it was after midnight, and it was time to only one shot. So, three shots for the day, 300 units. Today I took only three shots, 80 units each, 240 units daily dose. It is already time to go to sleep and we are just back from Manhattan. No time for four shots.
       It is very difficult to take observation only one person. But this person is I, and I am true to me. From my observation I see, that low blood sugar getting less complicated, less devastating when sugar controlled close to normal level. Well, it is easy to say, to control blood sugar, it is very difficult to do. Only ignorant people or face diabetics who can say they control blod sugar with diet and work outs. Insulin is only the medicine which is effective to address to diabetes. But it is very difficult to adjust dose of insulin we need to take every day, day after day. Blood sugar never the same. This is why it is too complicated.
       With my observation I see that then longer I hold blood sugar closer to the norman ranger then less low blood sugar drops. For the last days, even I increased dose of insulin very significant, I still do not have low blood sugar. It is so important. Low blood sugar is not simple to deal with. Our smart medical provider suggest to take sugar or hard candy. Of cause, if sugar is low then just add sugar or canly into your stomach, and there is no longer any problems. The question is, why in hospital diabetics lost lives due to low blood sugar? We all on glucose treatment when we are in hospital. Then why this glucose does not rise blood sugar level out of fatally low?
      I never take sugar or any candy when my blood sugar is low. I do take OJ, protein bar, or hot coffee with milk, if I am away from home. If I am home I take regular meal, hot all the time, and only which I want. Usually i take soup. I do like soup. I do have it ready in my closet. I never take candy. And of cause, it is insulin shot before my first bite. Work for me so far.
      I sleep only with Bi Pop. It is best for me. When I just go to sleep it is difficult for me to start to breath slow and smooth. But with time breathing get much better, and I can sleep all night, no one wake up.I would not say I do like this mask on my face, really who does? But I do not like to stop to breath, and be in fear of Death, really who does it ether? So, take your chance, and I took mine.
