OK, today is unusual day. Today I take one hour study, and I put on my log book not only the number on glucose meter and insulin injections, but also time I took my meal, and what did I ate. usually I do not do it. Really, I see no any value in this info, what was the number 2 hr after meal. What is the answer? 2hr after meal number said nothing. If I take meal and I inject 100 units of insulin after meal and then 2 hr later my sugar is 245 mg/dl, then what is really all this about? Still, no one med pro ask how many units of insulin I injected, and when I did it. The question is only, what number 2 hr after meal? So, if one control blood sugar with proper diet and has number around 120 mg/dl then it is good blood sugar control, right? wrong. It mean that one probably has no diabetes at all.
What if number 187 mg/dl after 80 units of insulin Lintus Solo star, slow insulin release? What if number is 2034 mg/dl? See, this numbers said nothing, ether to diabetic nether to med pro.
This is why I take my studies 1 hr blood sugar readings. I this case I can see dynamic. If sugar in higher then it was 1 hr before then it is better to take another reading 1 hr after to see if sugar still rising or started to drop. I do not have continues blood sugar reading device. I relay only on my meter.
I will post readings tomorrow. I did not finish my studies for today, still work on them.
Today it is pain in back. Why is it? No clue. It was long I did not have this pain after I started to tame medicine or this pain. Now pain back, and it does not go away for full day. I walk half banded. Sometimes I simple cannot start to move. Hope it will be over soon.
Because of now I do sleep at day time and wake up all night long, all my routine is different. The result is, I forget to take my oral medicine, not good for me. And I simple do not remember if I took it today or not. 'Day' is not really 'day', it can be 'night'. All is complicated and confusing now. I should not skip my oral medicine. I need all of it and every one pill. But I even can skip insulin injection, I simple lost truck of days and nights.
Probably today I will have more insulin injections then usual, because of my studies for today and I keep truck of my injections. Probably dose of insulin would he higher then it usually does. Ut is because of day before I skipped injections and injected only 160 units in stead of 307 my usual dose. So far I do not have low blood sugar, so I still keep going.
Really it is interesting with low blood sugar. I took shot when sugar was low and I really did not feel so good. I was scared to inject insulin when sugar is already low. And usually in cases like this we reduce dose of insulin. Looks it is wrong direction. Now I injected insulin and took my regular meal. With low blood sugar usually appetite is high, difficult to stop eating. It was not difficult for me. I took not only as usual meal but even less then usual. I was satisfied. Next readings were ether high nether low.
I did not reduce dose of insulin as usually I used to do, I still take my usual dose 307 units. Why 307? Because of in every pen there is 7 units extra. I take one pen every day. I do not spring insulin, it is 2 units every shot. I do not discharge even small amount of insulin. I inject all. So, if it is small amount left in pen such as 20 or 39 units, I will finish all pen. If it is around 40 units I will leave the pen and inject insulin later. No one unit to lost. This is not only money. It is respect and value of medicine I take. It is my life. I proud to have it, and very happy to have it in my ref.
