Ordinary day.
Right now I work to organize my records, my log books. I put all data in PC in spread sheet. Yesterday I finished up 2016. It is really interesting to take a look back and see, how all was at time. I usually put all what I can in my log book, and when book is closed I do not take a look at back. In my log book there are all info: blood sugar reading, insulin dose injected at time of injection, trip to camp, or to Lincoln center, order of books or medical supply on Amazon, Walmart orders, all what I do have in every day life. It is not diary, it is log book. There are not too much thoughts or expression. It is simple memory book, things to remember.
To look at this book is difficult to see how treatment or progression of diabetes going. In reason to follow the medical history best way is to organize all data in spreadsheet. I prefer to keep it separately. PC can be broken at any moment. I use Dell, good PC. Still, no one of them can work forever, and because of I am not very professional user, I easy to lost all my info. In hard copy, in paper log book, there is nothing what can be lost. But.... it is too many of them to keep. LOL! I need bigger library!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, back to business. I finished to put in spreadsheet 2016. It turned out very very interesting.
In table it is looks like the same, nothing unusual. But I just organized 2017. In my memory still that numbers. Now I really surprise to see level of sugar very often go above 300 mg/dl.
Another interesting point. In my log book very often there are mark, 'low sugar'. The level of sugar is the same as I do have right now every morning, and I do not mark it as 'low'. It is usual, ordinary number. I really do not worry about this numbers too much. In 2016 it was all the time marked as 'low' The numbers were actually higher then right now. Still, they are marked as 'low'. Why? Because of I do mark my health condition. It is not about reall number as it is in education. I can have 100 mg/dl and feel 'low' in contrary that it is simple perfect level of sugar.
Why this is so different? Because of if sugar drops from 600 mg/dl down to 100 mg/dl, it is really too fast, and too danger. Now I do not have this numbers on my meter. The matter of fact, it is rare to see number above 200 mg/dl.
Also I wish to say, the dose of insulin is really high. A few days ago I injected 534 units Lantus Solo Star within 24 hours. What I suppose to see? Low sugar. What is in reality? The sugar is usual. Yes, it is about 52 mg/dl a little bit above 50 mg/dl. But really it is not dangerously low that we die with this level of sugar in blood. Dangerously low sugar below 38 mg/dl. I do not have it now. I used to have this number on my meter, but not right now. At that time I did not take dose of insulin I inject now.
