Dinner's ready!
Sugar was 175, so I needed extra insulin before dinner. I had some fruit a couple of hours ago, so it wasn't unexpected.
Not so good morning
Blood sugar is 144, and I feel lousy this morning. I'll have to take both insulins before breakfast.

Good morning
Slept late again this morning. It's weird. I'm sleeping longer at night, but feel worse in the morning.
Blood sugar is 124, so it's both types of insulin this morning.

Too high again
159. I know why. I had some orange juice while Jimmy & I were shopping. A little extra insulin is in order.
UGH!
The super was supposed to come in to finish working on the leak he started working on today. He was supposed to be here at 11:30. I called him at noon, and was told that he had to work on a problem in an apartment on the 5th floor and wouldn't get to us until tomorrow. If we'd known that earlier, I could have gone with Jimmy to PT and we could have gone shopping before his other doctor's appointment at 3:30. Now we have to wait until after the 3:30 appointment. Crap!
Interesting Book
I'm reading a very weird book.
It's called, "Titanic 2012 - Curse of RMS Titanic," written by Robert W. Walker.
The premise is that the Titanic was deliberately sunk by her crew to save humanity from a strange life form that had been unearthed when coal miners were digging for coal to stoke the ship's engines.
The book shifts between 1912 and 2012.
It's a very cool read.

Good reading this morning
Blood sugar was 98 before breakfast, so no fast acting insulin, just the long acting stuff.

Over slept
Didn't get up until 9 o'clock. That's almost 2 hours later than usual. Blood sugar was 123, so I took both types of insulin this morning.
I feel like crap. If the super wasn't coming to work on a leak in the spare bedroom, I'd consider going back to bed.

Shouldn't have had that bagel!
Blood sugar is 178, so I actually need a little extra insulin before lunch. It's the first time in a while that I've needed extra.

Good morning
Blood sugar is 127 this morning, so I'll be taking both types of insulin before breakfast.
The new TV is coming some time between 11 am and 3 pm. I'm really excited. Gonna spend part of the morning disconnecting the old set from the cable and surround sound system, and moving some stuff around so they'll have room to work, and get the old set out the door.

Time for lunch
Blood sugar was 98, so again, no fast acting insulin. Went to Chili's for lunch. Had a 6 oz sirloin steak. OMG, it was so good.
Low again
78 before breakfast, so no fast acting insulin this morning. I'm only taking the long acting stuff.

Decision time
Blood sugar was 88 before dinner. I had a low sugar crash this afternoon, so I've decided to stop using insulin before meals if my blood sugar reading is under 100. I'm going to try it for a couple of days and see what happens to my numbers.
We bought a new TV for the living room. It'll be delivered Saturday, and more importantly, they will be taking the old set away. It weighs over 400 pounds, so I wish them luck.

Good new, bad news
Good news, my blood sugar is 115. Bad news, the TV in the living room died. Oh well.

Not good
Blood sugar was 140 before breakfast, and 180 before lunch!! I can't get to see the endocrinologist until April 3rd, so I may have to see if I can get in to see my PCP. Double crap!

That's more like it
Blood sugar was 116 before dinner. That's much more like it. I think I may have figured out what was different when I had the high readings. I haven't been drinking as much water the past couple of days. I've had a lot today. We'll see what my reading is in the morning.
UGH! Again!
133 before dinner last night, and 158 before breakfast this morning. I'm really beginning to wonder if the good readings were accurate.

It's getting higher
151 before lunch. Crap!! Took a couple of extra units of insulin. I was doing so well.....
This morning's reading
Blood sugar is 136 this morning. Better than 145, but not 116. I wonder if I'm coming down with something.

Still not right
My blood sugar before dinner was 134. This is really annoying. I guess I'll see what the reading is in the morning before I get really ticked off.
A little better
My blood sugar before lunch was 126. That's better than this morning, but not as good as I'd like. I'll have to keep an eye on it, and see if I can get it down more.
UGH! This is so frustrating!
After being 118 before lunch and 113 before dinner yesterday, my blood is back up to 145 this morning!
What am I doing wrong?
Maybe I'll try drinking Glucerna shakes as snacks a couple of hours after meals, and see if that makes a difference.
I took two extra units of Novolog this morning too.
Hopefully that will help, like it did yesterday.

That's much better
I just checked my blood sugar before lunch and it's down to 118.
That's much more like it.
I guess the extra insulin I took before breakfast worked.
That's a relief.

Hmmmm....
Last night and this morning my blood sugar was in the 140's.
This is a lot higher than it has been for the past week.
I gave myself a little extra insulin before breakfast.
Hopefully that will help.
I'll let you know when I take my reading before lunch.

So much to report, so little time
These past few weeks have been a bit of an adventure. January 29th saw my husband Jimmy having knee replacement surgery. February 11th through the 16th saw me in the hospital fighting a urinary tract infection and a diabetic episode (my blood sugar was over 600!).
I will at some point, write a detailed blog about what happened, but for now, I will just say that thanks to insulin, my blood sugar is under control (112 this morning).
That is something I never want to go through again.
